And while the slopes are almost always packedand some hotels we checked are already fully bookedwe managed to find a few deals still floating around. <a href="http://www.ski.com/">Ski.com</a> reports that Park City, Utah's <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Deer+Valley+Courchevel/ian/211245">Courchevel</a>, part of Deer Valley, has rooms discounted from the usual $325 to $260 when you book at least four nights.

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?

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/30451/RC_Tahoe.jpg" class="top"> Its -9ºF in Lake Tahoe today. 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!)

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/32083/ritztahoe.jpg" class="top"> Lake Tahoe is one of those mountainous Northern California (way North) destinations that is popular during the summer, but really bustling with activity during wintertime, what with the chance for visitors to channel their inner Jonny Moseley on the slopes. The hotel scene in Tahoe, though, conjures up images of buffet breakfasts at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Harrah%27S+Lake+Tahoe+Resort+&+Casino/ian/123827">Harrah's</a>, though with resorts like <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Plumpjack+Squaw+Valley+Inn/ian/124139">Plumpjack</a> nearby, there isn't a total lack of luxury. But when <a href="http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/LakeTahoe/Default.htm">The Ritz Carlton Highlands</a> moves into town you'd better believe that the upscale stakes will be raised, which is what will happen when a Lake Tahoe location opens on December 9th of this year, a little later than the original fall opening that was

This shot of the construction which Ritz-Carlton posted to <a href="http://twitter.com/RitzCarltonPR/status/1876142387">their Twitter </a>yesterday is showin' that the hotel is topping off nicely, though we know by now not to judge a hotel's completion by its exterior (the permits can be major issues; we get it, blah blah). Here's what we know: the 170-room luxe ski retreat is a ski-in, ski-out property that sits mid-mountain in the Northstar-at-Tahoe ski resort, with its official opening date announced as "fall 2009." In addition to the ski concierge services,
