New 'pod hotels' near ski resorts aim to attract people who don’t want to spend a fortune on accommodations
New ‘pod hotels’ are aimed at people who want to focus on the slopes, and not spend a fortune on accommodations
The Pangea Pod Hotel, which opened in 2018, is located in the heart of the Whistler village, about 600 feet from the ski lifts.A ski vacation rarely comes to mind when you think of bargain trips.

Upscale, moderately priced versions of this model have begun to spring up in skiing locations.
