There’s something charmingly vintage about a 1970s-era A-frame. Picture one and it’s easy to imagine a flannel-clad group of enthusiasts inside, cozied up by a wood-burning stove and playing backgammon. These quirky pointed-roof chalets were big in the mid-20th century, especially in ski towns, where steeply slanted roofs served a real purpose: shedding snow. Nowadays, you can still find these old-school A-frames, and, thankfully, many have been updated on the inside with modern fixings.
