With the ski season in full swing, this is your last chance to strap on your skis, and get in on the powdery action. But, cutting it this fine means that you’ve not got many accommodation options left on the table. So allow Gentleman’s Journal, with a little help from boutique adventure travel brand Abercrombie & Kent, to show you where you should be dusting off your snow boots this winter.
