Fresh Sheets: Six new ski lodges

Cedar House Sport Hotel
Truckee, California
When the Cedar House Sport Hotel opened in summer 2006, it instantly wiped out the drab Truckee, California, lodging tradition of Best Westerns and sugary B&Bs.

The 36-room, six-suite inn, set among ponderosas just two minutes from downtown, is both industrial in aesthetic and homey in tone. Exposed cedar beams complement a metal-and-cement interior, featuring a modern bar and plush leather couches for kicking back in front of the lounge’s giant fireplace.

But after a long day of skiing at Alpine Meadows, just 15 minutes away, you’ll appreciate the Cedar House’s warm touches: a large out-door hot tub, heated tile floors in the bathroom, and cozy platform beds covered with down comforters and Egyptian cotton. Doubles from $180; cedarhousesporthotel.com

Clay Brook at Sugarbush
Warren, Vermont

Sugarbush has 53 miles of trails and five high-speed quads, but, without any updated lodging, it lost its cachet as the Aspen of the East, oh, about 30 years ago. Things turned around last December with the opening of the $61 million base village.

Lest you be fooled by the barn-and-silo construction, consider that it is equipped with a new day lodge, an upscale restaurant called Timbers, and Clay Brook, comprising 61 condos. With a design sensibility we’ll call farmhouse chic, the hotel showcases photographs and paintings by locals and is equipped with two giant slopeside hot tubs as well as a ski valet who’ll warm your boots by morning. Doubles from $259; www.lincolnpeakvillage.com/claybrook
