But there's plenty of snow to still be had, including in Europe. The <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Nevai/local/1134"><b>Nevai</b></a>, with its vaguely snow-referencing name, would be our pick as totally pretentious enough for swanky Verbier in the Swiss Alps.<br> <p>From the owner's of the <a href="http://www.kingsverbier.ch">King's Parc Hotel</a>, Nevai opened its 33 rooms and 2 suites in late December 2007. Obviously, a restaurant, bar and spa are all on-site. The most basic room starts at $265 a night during the week; there's a three-night minimum over weekends, when rates start at $409.

Kill that time and get one last gasp of exercise with the "Skier's Escape" package from <b><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Lodge+At+Vail,+A+Rockresort/ian/134060">The Lodge at Vail</a></b>.<br> <p>The deal includes three nights accommodations, two three-day lift tickets and breakfast daily at the hotel set in the heart of Vail village. (Your lift tix are good at both Vail and Beaver Creek.) Rates start at $1,272, and obviously there are some blackout dates. Still, getting a room and a day of skiing for $424 isn't bad, given that one day at Vail costs $92.<br> <p>It's worth noting that the hotel's pbb 2008-02-14T09:15:01-05:00 39.630984 -106.41264 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/2/5/01539/40552 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/Cal_Neva_Resort.jpg" class="imgborder"><p><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/maps/Ski-Hotels-2008-Map"><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/skihotels2008.jpg" align="right"></a> It may not be quite what it was in its hey day, but the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Cal+Neva+Resort/ian/124011"><b>Cal Neva Resort</b></a> is still offering some reasonable ski packages. If you're not looking for five-star luxury, but instead would like to check out a place that used to be owned by Frank Sinatra, and perhaps sleep in a cabin once occupied by Marilyn Monroe--<i>and</i> get a bit of skiing in--then it's worth checking the Cal Neva.</p><p>At the moment they have a Ski the Lake package which starts at $119 per night.
