Best Prefab and Modular Ski Houses

For buyers considering building a vacation home, our list of the best prefab and modular ski houses is a good place to start. Our list includes information on specific ski homes and the companies that design and manufacture them. Individuals considering buying a prefab ski house should be mindful of a few qualities when considering their options. First, a good ski home should be well insulated in order to stand up to harsh winter weather. Some indicators of a well-insulated prefab or modular home include: whether the house is built or manufactured using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), plans are engineered on a per-project basis, or homes are built to meet Passive House standards. Second, homes should be designed and engineered to withstand major snow loads and shed snow from the roof mindfully - away from overhangs and entrances. And finally, buyers may want to look for a prefab ski house that has features like large windows or fire places. One nice benefit of all prefab homes is because much of the house can be built off-site, it can still be built when it’s snowing and cold. Many ski towns actually ban foundation work during the cold months and even if they don’t, snow can make on-site construction much slower.
