What Your Ski Cabin Requires

Just because Nemo’s snow is finally thawing, don’t be fooled. There’s still plenty of powder to be enjoyed this winter. But before you head to your favorite mountainside cabin, make sure you pick up these essentials.

FOR THE FIREPLACE

Grizzly and Wolverine Rugs from Canada

You Require: An animal rug in front of the hearth.
You’ll Receive: The soft hide of a 5'9" Canadian grizzly to cover those seasoned pine floors. Or if it’s for the smaller fireplace in the study, they also have wolverine rugs, too. Nothing says rugged ski hamlet like wolverines.

FOR THE TORSO

Vintage Japanese Smoking Jacket

You Require: After-dinner wear with a touch of Ron Burgundy. And Tokyo.
You’ll Receive: This Japanese silk smoking jacket, born circa 1960, at Bobby from Boston. Perfect for swirling sherry while recanting Auden poems to a ski bunny sprawled out by a fire. Say, on a bearskin rug...

FOR THE WALLS

Antique Handmade Wooden Skis

You Require: A head nod to the great skiers of yesteryear over the wet bar.
You’ll Receive: Monstrous skis, handmade between the 1900s and 1920s. Note: some of these are over seven feet long, and all of them are 100% wood, so... don’t use them on the moguls.

FOR THE S’MORES

Jen Pearson Designs Firestarter Kit

You Require: Portable fire-creation necessities in a medical tube.
You’ll Receive: Exactly that, sealed with a cork and good to keep on hand for lifesaving warmth (or s’mores). It’s got 15 strike-anywhere matches, wood, dry pine needles and locally harvested sap. Which is key.

FOR THE LIBRARY

Wall-Mounted Antlers from Acquire

You Require: A touch of Hemingway to offset the lack of antlers in your library.
You’ll Receive: Variety. From fakes to real-deal roe deer antlers. We find the latter are the best for catching a clothing item that’s been torn off and strewn about after a little poetry by the fire.
