While it's possible to find passable skiing conditions any time of year, depending on location, it's winter time that ski aficionados spend the year anticipating with zeal. Europe, with its bounty of snowy climes, is home to some of the world's best and most exclusive ski chalets—locations that provide near perfect powdery conditions for "woosh-wooshing" downhill.

We've sussed out some of the continent's most luxurious ski hotels for this feature; they're places you can kick back with spiked hot cocoa if you so choose, yet still get you up close and personal with slopeside action. Take note, Jonny Moseley-types.

<![CDATA[It may be hard to think about planning a ski vacation now when we've still got to get through Festivus, Kwanzaa, Christmas and New Year's Eve but just in case someone gifts you with a snowboard or a new pair of ski goggles, we thought it best to compile a quick list of <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/ski hotels">Ski Hotels</a> to consider for the 2011 ski season. Now, this isn't the end-all, be-all list of Ski Hotels for the season. We'll be highlighting more and more all over the world as we head into January. But for now, we picked these ones because they they are very new to the slopes (some just opened last week!) and also because they have that all-important

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/montagedeervalley_room.jpg" class="top"> Well it's a <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/montage hotels">Montage Hotel</a>, did you really expect lower room rates? The <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Montage+Deer+Valley/ian/342049">Montage Deer Valley </a> has stayed true to its December 2010 opening date and in hitting up the hotel's website today we see that the luxury ski resort in Park City will open on December 15 with rooms starting at $675 a night for a Resort king or two queens. Prices go up from there but only the view changes as all of the standard rooms start at a generous 600sq.ft. with separate sitting areas, gas fireplaces, deep soaking tubs in the bath and heated floors. A Vista room gives you views of the resort grounds and mountains for $755 a

Truckee: Ritz-Carlton Tahoe Should Avoid Foreclosure, After All

It only opened in December, but earlier this week things looked dicey for the Ritz-Carlton Highlands, Lake Tahoe. On Tuesday, news outlets including The Sacramento Bee reported that the hotel had gone into default. Apparently the property itself did not go into bankruptcy, however its developer "put nearly $1 billion worth of Northstar real estate development into bankruptcy reorganization."

This doesn't mean the new Ritz-Carlton had a bad ski season, though. Spokesperson Steven Holt said, "We've had an amazing winter." But can strong business save the ski resort from bigger-picture real-estate woes?

But that didnt stop folks from coming out to celebrate the opening of the new <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Ritz-Carlton+Highlands%2C+Lake+Tahoe/local/1628">Ritz-Carlton Highlands, Late Tahoe</a>. The area received over 30 inches of snow at the summit in the 48 hours leading up to the resorts debut. Which makes us wonder: Is there anything the R-C and their concierges cannot do? (Maybe the Ritz-Carlton in NYC could do something about this rain?) The Ritz-Carlton Highlands was five years in the making, and offers the all-important ski-in, ski-out experience for all those CEOs with too much time on their hands. (On the upside, the construction created over 350 jobs in Northern California this year. Yay, employment!)
