Ski photos for my STR

Posted

I purchased a ski condo and there isn't much to take pictures of immediately outside the condo. I can use some stock photos of the ski hill or I could get a photographer to take professional photos of the ski hill. I just don't know if those would be worth it without people skiing. I could have my family skiing but then that seems like family photos that would be out of place in an AirBnB listing. Any thoughts? Thank you.

I'd use some stock photos till you can replace them.

    Hey @David N. just use the stock photos. Those will convey the idea you are trying to show.

    I wouldn't rule out the family pics. People have a good time doing stuff is always a good thing. Just make sure everyone understands that they will be on the site for anyone to see.

    And no minors. That would be a sticking point for me. Just adults.
