Who could use a ski chalet in the Pacific Northwest? The New York Times shows us a cozy, and surprisingly colorful home in Whistler, British Columbia that features everything we'd want in a Canadian cabin — heated floors, lots of outdoor living space (including a fire pit), a freestanding wood-burning stove, large mature trees and even a rental apartment...
Love love love the balconies without railings. Very Ray Kappe; the uninterupted sightlines make you feel like you're floating in the trees.
Yes, I know they're "kid-unfriendly" and totally against code in most places, but as long as you don't enjoy one-too-many hot toddies on the deck you'll be okay ;-)

Not cool to build with so much wood.. You live in a forest where another forest had to be cut down so you can live in the forest.

It depends on where the wood is coming from. You can have wood from sustainable logging practices certified by independent environmental group, in which case, wood would be more "environmentally friendly" than say plastic-based or metal-based materials.
