Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

The sugar cube-shaped `Cube Hotel' in Biberwier features loft architecture and rooms for two to four guests, with storage space for sports equipment, and individual ski boot warmers. The revolutionary new hotel is devoid of any stairs, but has ramps to allow guests to wheel or walk their ski gear up to their rooms. The hotel blends sport, entertainment, and design and hopes to attract a more unconventional and active clientele. Entertainment and fun include play stations in the gaming zone, chill-out lounges on all floors, and dancing until the early hours in the Cub Club. The hotel is close to winter snowboarding, carving, snow tubing, and air-boarding. www.cube-hotels.com.
