During the winter season, my dog and I stay indoors. We are not fans of the snow or sleet and prefer to spend our time watching Hallmark original holiday movies. What can we say – we are suckers for films about stressed-out businesswomen falling in love with whimsical bakers who happen to be super into Christmas. 

That being said, my canine companion and I respect individuals who are more adventurous during the winter. For instance, we are impressed by those who have mastered the art of skiing. 

If you happen to be an avid skier, you likely plan on hitting the slopes soon. However, you may find it difficult to find a resort that meets your needs as a pup parent. So that you enjoy the ski season to the fullest of your ability, we’ve compiled a list of ski lodges that welcome furry friends.
