“After looking into this lodge, it strikes me as a practical choice for families eager to hit the slopes, especially given the full kitchens and ski-in/ski-out access. I noticed some comments about dated decor, but the convenience of boot dryers and on-site ski lockers seems to outweigh those concerns. For those prioritizing location and function on a ski trip, this could be a solid option.”

Skiing was easy. Boot dryers meant warm, dry boots every morning, right at the door to the slopes.
