Product Description

"Hip Hotels" is all about winter action and sharp style. With ever more people catching on to the thrill and spectacle of the mountains, the choice of ski hotels has become mind-boggling - and overwhelmingly mediocre. In this volume Herbert Ypma, himself an avid skier, proves that there are alternatives to the tired formulae of the typical resort hotel. You can go for a remote lodge in the Canadian Rockies or Wild West authenticity, alpine log cabin or sleek contemporary style.

About the Author
Photographer and writer Herbert Ypma grew up skiing on three continents. He first learned aged seven in the tough conditions of New England, and since then has skied all the major and many minor resorts of Europe and North America. He's worn electric socks and a suede facemask in the -30[degrees]C conditions of Quebec and swerved to avoid wallabies bouncing out of the eucalyptus in the Australian Alps.
