"Many people, online as well as on our staff, feel strongly that the time has come for a ski season of The White Lotus to contrast the beaches and scorching climes we've enjoyed heretofore. While our staffers had eyes on the Four Seasons in such wintry locales as Gstaad, Switzerland (where a Four Seasons is due to open early next year) and Jackson Hole, Four Seasons Hotel Megève presents a French opportunity for a season's worth of snowy weather and icy behavior."
"Stay with me: a daffy woman in a fur-hooded Moncler ski suit signs up for lessons to get close to the handsome instructor; a difficult party arrives in a snowstorm only to discover the luggage containing their cold weather clothing has vanished; the manager fields complaints that it's too cold outside. If you've seen Ruben Östlund's Force Majeure, in which a husband abandons his family in the face of a controlled avalanche, you know the potential for drama is endless here."
Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, a Four Seasons property on the French Riviera near Nice, Monaco and Beaulieu-sur-Mer, offers an opulent seaside setting for wealthy characters and day-trip storylines, but proximity to crashing waves could complicate filming. Four Seasons Hotel Megève presents a wintry alternative, with potential plots including a woman in a fur-hooded Moncler seeking ski lessons, lost cold-weather luggage after a snowstorm, and manager complaints about low temperatures. Other Four Seasons options considered include Gstaad and Jackson Hole. A comparison to Ruben Östlund's Force Majeure highlights avalanche-related tension, despite the creator's avowed dislike of cold.
