The magazine covers the most aspirational brands and experiences on offer in its limited edition Issue Five. JOSHUA’S beautifully written piece ignites new levels of excitement for the start of the season; “Skiing is a magical sport. It is pure, child-like adrenaline, a revisit of rushes felt careering down a hill on our bikes, head and shoulders tucked low to incite fancies of flight”. Writer Henry Samson continues; ” A ski season should be the highlight on anyone’s calendar and something so integral should be done right. Bighorn is our definition of right”. The article explores the uniqueness of the Bighorn experience, including heliskiing from a private heliapd, the indulgent facilities and the beauty of the “impressive timber-framed building”.

The Best Luxury Ski Chalets in the World

The self-confessed ski industry experts at ‘We love 2 ski’ have put together their quintessential list of the very Best Luxury Ski Chalets in the World and we’re proud to say Bighorn features up there amongst la creme de la creme.

Felice Hardy says “We have chosen 50 of what we consider to be the most loveable ski chalets around. They’re not cheap but they’re certainly gorgeous”.  “At the top end of the luxury ski chalet market are some veritable piste palaces, offering all the opulence of a five-star hotel combined with the intimacy of a stylish private home.”

“Chalet Bighorn is in the little-known resort of Revelstoke in BC, Canada. The property has eight huge bedrooms, and the chef and lodge manager have worked in some of the most high-end chalets in the Alps (they now live in Revelstoke all year round). The chalet is the ultimate in skiing luxury and even has its own private helipad – useful for sampling the area’s fabulous heli-skiing.”
