Hi All
Welcome to Winter. The resorts plan to open on Thanksgiving day. There is still some availability for the upcoming holidays if you would like to go up.
For those of you who would like to rent the whole lodge out, start thinking about what days you would like so that you don’t miss out on your favorite weekends. A deposit of $250 will secure your weekend for you J.
Also, don’t forget the Avalanche Bay water park is open all year and is right across the street from the lodge. It was heralded as one of The World’s Coolest Water Parks by Condé Nast Traveler magazine. The premier travel magazine chose eight water parks from China, Germany, Canada and the United States.
Here is some information on the local ski resorts to get you in the mood for ski season. Resorts plan to open on Thanksgiving Day, weather permitting.
