Christmas season – you can smell the fresh snow covering everything as far as your eyes can see. Well, at least for some parts in the world. As soon as the snow starts falling, ski resorts are opening up and early bird skiers are taking their way down the slopes. There are a lot of things you can do before and after you ski such as hot bath, massage, a quick game of monopoly or watching a movie. How about owning your very own ski house? Or a house close to a ski resort. It could be your escape vacation house every winter or summer – or any season for that matter.

A house is worth a lot considering all the maintenance and mortgage you have to face. A ski house could be worth more than an ordinary house depending on the size and location. Cleaning a house is already quite a chore but cleaning a big house that you only get to visit few times a year is even more tasking.
