Vacation Week!

In a word, the atmosphere at The Lodge can be summed up in one word: VACATION!  If this suggests the festive spirit of fun, outdoor adventure and SNOW, then you get an accurate picture of what’s happening in Jackson this week. Lots of families are taking advantage of the ski schools associated with the various alpine mountains, to give their kids a leg up on skills and techniques, and allow them to get more enjoyment out of the downhill experience overall. We currently have a family here from Florida, whose kids have never seen snow.  This is a first for them, and it is such a thrill to be part of that’s family’s first experience of New England in winter.  Cross-country skiing is just as important as downhill … we ARE in Jackson, NH after all … the largest XC ski center in the eastern US! And as if that weren’t enough, we have free passes to the trail system up at Great Glen Trails, only a short 10-minute drive from our door. Everyone is getting involved … age is no factor!  From the nonagenarian sisters who never miss a day of Cross-country skiing when staying with us … to the toddlers who get the ride of their lives in the enclosed toboggan-like pulks their parents pull them in … everyone can get in the act. And of course, homemade cookies, a cup of hot tea and relaxation in front of the fireplace always puts a nice finish on a day in the wonderful outdoors.
