This Week at The Lodge … January 1-7

Hallelujah! It was a white Christmas in Jackson after all! We were beginning to wonder about that when the Polar Express train visited a snow-free ‘North Pole’ this year … but Christmas Eve Day dawned white and snowy and beautiful! It was a veritable wonderland. Despite the lack of ground cover, 2011 was the happiest and most successful Polar Express season we’ve EVER had! Happy guests, happy staff … it was the culmination of a great 2011 for us. But out with the old and on to the new…
New Year’s Eve rolled in with mixed precipitation in the morning, a fire crackling in fireplace from morning till night, and wine, cheese & crackers, homemade cookies and cocoa available for nibbles for old and new friends alike. It was a relaxing day for all. A fabulous moon shone amongst a sky full of stars in the evening; a great way to start out the year.

This week in Jackson the temperatures have dropped, making the snow-making efforts on the slopes quite productive for skiers, until Mother Nature cooperates later in the week with some snow in the forecast for Wednesday and Friday. The lower temps have made ice skating over at Nestlenook Farm totally wonderful!  Skate under 3.2 million lights or take a horse-drawn sleighride under the warmth of a 'buffalo robe'.  Rent your skates or bring your own!  Looking to next week, we’re anticipating the annual Ice Carving Competition coming up in Jackson on the 9th … but more on that next time! Have a great week,

    That's so cool that you had snow. We don't have snow here on the ocean...just a lot of extra fog :) :) However, one of my friend's said that it actually hailed one year...so who knows :) :) Happy New Year to you and your family. Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather ;) (formerly Oregon :)
