This Week at The Lodge - April 1-7, 2012

April Fools Day came and went at The Lodge without a single LodgeLady prank ... which was an historical occasion! But then Mother Nature seemed like she had already played enough tricks on us with the weather, after having given us temperatures in the 80's one week and in the teens the next. Mt. Washington had a 90 degree fluctuation in one week ... amazing! Obviously the unseasonable temps put an end to maple syruping and most skiing, but Wildcat Mountain is still going strong! With 4" of new fluffy Snowfall on Sunday night and the return to winter-like temperatures at night, they plan to stay open as long as they can into the spring. Guests say the spring skiing is awesome.

Our week at The Lodge started out with a full house as we opened our doors to two wonderful groups: a Singles group, and a Corporate retreat. We were bustling -- full to the brim -- and enjoying every minute! Things have calmed down now to the normal spring pace which is "PEACEFUL" -- it's a fabulous time to be in the Mount Washington Valley! Enjoy low spring rates, no traffic or crowds, and an awakening spring bursting with new growth, moose sightings and waterfalls galore!  It is one of our favorite times of year.
