Financial diversification, now with helmet hair
SOHO, LONDON
SOHO has unveiled its first dedicated ski-resort investment hub, courtesy of London.ski, a website that insists your portfolio has been naked far too long and deserves goggles. The hub offers “deal rooms,” “snow briefings,” and a dramatic wall screen that tracks resort performance in real time, like the weather is a stock and you’re about to short a blizzard.
At the ribbon-cutting, attendees were handed branded hand warmers and a booklet titled “Yield Curves and Chairlifts: A Beginner’s Guide,” which is the sort of thing that makes you miss the simplicity of just falling over on a slope.
Expert Opinion From People With Clipboards
Why This Makes Sense, According to Someone Paid to Say It
Dr. Ayesha Grant, a consultant in leisure economics, explained that resort investments are appealing because they combine two classic London passions: property and pretending you’re not stressed. “The city loves assets that feel like experiences,” she said. “It’s why people buy wine they never drink and trainers they never run in.”
A London.ski internal poll of “high-intent browsers” claimed 58% of users believe owning a tiny stake in a resort makes them “more resilient,” and 33% said they felt “closer to nature,” despite completing the transaction under fluorescent lighting near a vape shop.
Eyewitness Testimony From the Hub
“I Came for the Returns, Stayed for the Vibe”
Marla, a freelance strategist who declined to share her surname “for tax reasons,” said she invested because “skiing is the only time I willingly wake up at 6 a.m., and that deserves to be monetised.” She praised the hub’s complimentary herbal tea and the staff’s ability to say “volatility” in a soothing tone.
An anonymous staffer admitted the hub’s most-used feature is the “Après Projection,” a calculator that estimates how many fondue nights it takes to emotionally recover from looking at your risk disclosure.

London.ski suggests a simple checklist: read terms, set limits, and resist the urge to buy gear before you buy competence. If you’re travelling, remember that skiing is technically sport, so water is not optional. If you’re investing, remember that snow does not negotiate with your expectations, no matter how premium your membership tier.
The hub’s grand finale was a “snowfall moment,” created by gently releasing biodegradable confetti over a room of adults who applauded like they’d invented winter. In the end, SOHO got what it always wanted: a new way to turn other people’s mountains into personal identity, with just enough data to feel responsible and just enough goggles to look ridiculous.
