Ski season is here, with powder already falling in many resorts around the world.
And with the change of season, Airbnb’s recently added ski-in/ski-out accommodation category has been slaloming its way onto travellers' radars.
From a cosy wooden cabin in Canada to a sub-zero igloo in Finland, tourists checking into these 10 properties are just steps from the slopes.
1. A chic stay in this glass box in Quebec
About 25 minutes from Old Quebec, Le Mica chalet is a snow-surrounded hideaway in the heart of Maelstrom Forest offering a unique Canadian getaway. Minimalist design, panoramic views and oodles of natural light await in this two-storey, two-bedroom upscale cabin. Surrounded by 20km of trails that are accessible year-round, the house is less than 10 minutes away from the family-friendly Le Relais ski resort where there are runs for every ability.
Stays from Dh1,077 per night.
2. Epic views from this Norwegian birdhouse
For a stay immersed in nature, this tiny birdhouse-style cabin offers plenty of mountain scenery. A 15-minute hike from Langeland ski resort in Norway’s Sunnfjord area, this remote getaway has envy-inducing views, untouched powder and a fully stocked fridge crammed with Norwegian specialities. There’s no Wi-Fi either, making it perfect for an off-grid winter getaway.
Stays from Dh1,206 per night.
3. Sub-zero igloos in Lapland
For an authentic Finnish experience, this snow igloo in the winter wonderland of Pelkosenniemi, in the Arctic Circle, is the ideal place for a stay surrounded by mountains. About two hours from Rovaniemi Airport, and 10km from Ski Resort Pyha, the snow igloos are constructed every season. Inside, expect sub-zero temperatures, real beds and warm sleeping bags, with a heated house nearby where the bathrooms and kitchen are located. It’s the ideal base to explore the wilderness of Lapland and the aurora borealis views from here are phenomenal.
Stays from Dh507 per night.
4. Cosy A-frame cabin in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains
Travellers in the US have no shortage of options, with most wish-listed Airbnb stays located stateside. It's easy to see how an A-frame cabin in the Rocky Mountains made the cut, with its off-grid location surrounded by acres of hiking trails, snowshoeing and sledding routes.
Dogs are welcome in the timber cabin, which has two bedrooms, a fire pit and a traditional wood-burning stove. A composting bathroom is a few steps from the main cabin and there are hot showers in a shared house nearby. There's no shortage of ski options, with powder runs in the surrounding Elk Run Trail, nearby Routt National Forest and the Mount Zirkel Wilderness.
Stays from Dh407 per night.
5. Rustic farmhouse in Poland
Nestled in the Island Beskids mountain range and just 50 metres from Limanowa Ski Resort in Poland's Mordarka, this rustic farm stay offers panoramic views in the shadow of a 100-year-old lime tree. Set in a forest valley, Lipowe Wzgorze can sleep up to three inside the lower level of a traditional-style house. Surrounded by fresh mountain air and slopes that are perfect for winter sports, there are a cosy fireplace and wooden sauna for when travellers need to heat up again, plus billiards and fitness equipment when staying indoors.
Stays from Dh148 per night.
6. Family escapes to Big Sky Montana
With a hot tub, outdoor fireplace, wraparound porch and glorious views of Lone Peak — Big Sky's most renowned mountain — this hideaway has everything needed for a luxury ski-in, ski-out escape. It sleeps up to eight, with super-cool bunk beds and a slide for children. There's a spacious lounge, family dining area and a modern kitchen, plus the occasional elk wandering in the gardens. It's also within skiing distance of Big Sky Resort, one of the biggest ski destinations in the US.
Stays from Dh3,436 per night.
7. Rustic retreat in Colorado
Private, peaceful and entirely rustic, the Fox A-frame cabin in the Rocky Mountains sleeps six in two bedrooms and a spacious loft room, making it a contender for family ski trips. It's in Summit County, which is known for its natural beauty and fabulous local ski resorts, and is surrounded by woodlands with powder right on the doorstep. It's also only five minutes from Downtown Breckenridge for restaurants, bars and cafes.
Stays from Dh661 per night.
8. Bryce Mountain Retreat in Virginia
In the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains, this renovated mountain home is an ideal getaway for a winter holiday and offers picturesque views from every floor.

Sleeping up to 10, it has a huge lounge with a working fireplace, five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Stays from Dh2,550 per night.
9. Quaint mountain stay in California
Looking like a scene from a Christmas card, this Boho-style A-frame cabin in California's Running Springs is a woodland sanctuary that's only five minutes from Snow Valley Mountain Resort in the San Bernardino National Forest. Equipped with everything needed for a luxury stay, it sleeps three.
Guests can enjoy an outdoor terrace surrounded by fairy lights, cosy up in front of a fire with a good book or watch a Christmas movie on the big screen via a digital projector.
Stays from Dh1,551 per night.
10. Cabin with a hot tub in New York's Catskills
Located in Elka Park in the Great Northern Catskills of New York, this house comes with all the modern amenities needed for a luxury winter escape.

The smuggler
Eldarir had arrived at JFK in January 2020 with three suitcases, containing goods he valued at $300, when he was directed to a search area.
Officers found 41 gold artefacts among the bags, including amulets from a funerary set which prepared the deceased for the afterlife.
Also found was a cartouche of a Ptolemaic king on a relief that was originally part of a royal building or temple.
The largest single group of items found in Eldarir’s cases were 400 shabtis, or figurines.
Khouli conviction
Khouli smuggled items into the US by making false declarations to customs about the country of origin and value of the items.
According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he provided “false provenances which stated that [two] Egyptian antiquities were part of a collection assembled by Khouli's father in Israel in the 1960s” when in fact “Khouli acquired the Egyptian antiquities from other dealers”.
He was sentenced to one year of probation, six months of home confinement and 200 hours of community service in 2012 after admitting buying and smuggling Egyptian antiquities, including coffins, funerary boats and limestone figures.
For sale
A number of other items said to come from the collection of Ezeldeen Taha Eldarir are currently or recently for sale.
Their provenance is described in near identical terms as the British Museum shabti: bought from Salahaddin Sirmali, "authenticated and appraised" by Hossen Rashed, then imported to the US in 1948.
- An Egyptian Mummy mask dating from 700BC-30BC, is on offer for £11,807 ($15,275) online by a seller in Mexico
- A coffin lid dating back to 664BC-332BC was offered for sale by a Colorado-based art dealer, with a starting price of $65,000
- A shabti that was on sale through a Chicago-based coin dealer, dating from 1567BC-1085BC, is up for $1,950

Tips for newlyweds to better manage finances
All couples are unique and have to create a financial blueprint that is most suitable for their relationship, says Vijay Valecha, chief investment officer at Century Financial. He offers his top five tips for couples to better manage their finances.
Discuss your assets and debts: When married, it’s important to understand each other’s personal financial situation. It’s necessary to know upfront what each party brings to the table, as debts and assets affect spending habits and joint loan qualifications. Discussing all aspects of their finances as a couple prevents anyone from being blindsided later.
Decide on the financial/saving goals: Spouses should independently list their top goals and share their lists with one another to shape a joint plan. Writing down clear goals will help them determine how much to save each month, how much to put aside for short-term goals, and how they will reach their long-term financial goals.
Set a budget: A budget can keep the couple be mindful of their income and expenses. With a monthly budget, couples will know exactly how much they can spend in a category each month, how much they have to work with and what spending areas need to be evaluated.
Decide who manages what: When it comes to handling finances, it’s a good idea to decide who manages what. For example, one person might take on the day-to-day bills, while the other tackles long-term investments and retirement plans.
Money date nights: Talking about money should be a healthy, ongoing conversation and couples should not wait for something to go wrong. They should set time aside every month to talk about future financial decisions and see the progress they’ve made together towards accomplishing their goals.

Real estate tokenisation project
Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.
The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.
Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.
The Facility’s Versatility
Between the start of the 2020 IPL on September 20, and the end of the Pakistan Super League this coming Thursday, the Zayed Cricket Stadium has had an unprecedented amount of traffic.
Never before has a ground in this country – or perhaps anywhere in the world – had such a volume of major-match cricket.
And yet scoring has remained high, and Abu Dhabi has seen some classic encounters in every format of the game.
October 18, IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders tied with Sunrisers Hyderabad
The two playoff-chasing sides put on 163 apiece, before Kolkata went on to win the Super Over
January 8, ODI, UAE beat Ireland by six wickets
A century by CP Rizwan underpinned one of UAE’s greatest ever wins, as they chased 270 to win with an over to spare
February 6, T10, Northern Warriors beat Delhi Bulls by eight wickets
The final of the T10 was chiefly memorable for a ferocious over of fast bowling from Fidel Edwards to Nicholas Pooran
March 14, Test, Afghanistan beat Zimbabwe by six wickets
Eleven wickets for Rashid Khan, 1,305 runs scored in five days, and a last session finish
June 17, PSL, Islamabad United beat Peshawar Zalmi by 15 runs
Usman Khawaja scored a hundred as Islamabad posted the highest score ever by a Pakistan team in T20 cricket
Tips to keep your car cool
- Place a sun reflector in your windshield when not driving
- Park in shaded or covered areas
- Add tint to windows
- Wrap your car to change the exterior colour
- Pick light interiors - choose colours such as beige and cream for seats and dashboard furniture
- Avoid leather interiors as these absorb more heat

The design
The protective shell is covered in solar panels to make use of light and produce energy. This will drastically reduce energy loss.
More than 80 per cent of the energy consumed by the French pavilion will be produced by the sun.
The architecture will control light sources to provide a highly insulated and airtight building.
The forecourt is protected from the sun and the plants will refresh the inner spaces.
A micro water treatment plant will recycle used water to supply the irrigation for the plants and to flush the toilets. This will reduce the pavilion’s need for fresh water by 30 per cent.
Energy-saving equipment will be used for all lighting and projections.
Beyond its use for the expo, the pavilion will be easy to dismantle and reuse the material.
Some elements of the metal frame can be prefabricated in a factory.
From architects to sound technicians and construction companies, a group of experts from 10 companies have created the pavilion.
Work will begin in May; the first stone will be laid in Dubai in the second quarter of 2019.
Construction of the pavilion will take 17 months from May 2019 to September 2020.
