Whether you’re the first one on the chairlift or have a penchant for après, one thing’s for certain: The colder months are best spent on the mountain. You might’ve already picked out the perfect puffer jacket or fair isle sweater—but where to wear it? Admittedly, with so many options in North America alone, choosing a spectacular winter vacation spot can feel daunting. The most popular ski destinations are rife with convenient hotels, but there’s something about a rental that’s fully your own that is extra cozy. An alpine home away from home, if you will.
