Ice is off the pond

End of April is here and the ice is off the pond. It may not stay that way as we are supposed to drop into the teens tonight but a warm weekend is in store. Here at the lodge we have an early May special on for Cinnamon Bear this weekend, 2 nights for the price of one. Check out our web brochure for details and come on up.
The Highway Dept. is working on clearing the pass for the Memorial Weekend opening, another sign that spring is on the way.

Latest news, we are ready for summer.

The breakfast hiatus that was mentioned in an earlier post is over and Laura is back to making those great breakfasts. Some people know that the hiatus was due to the Lodge being under contract to be sold and Laura felt she needed all her energies to get things ready to make the change. Well, the sale fell through and so it will be business as usual this summer with Scott, Laura, Kendrick (yep, we get him home for the summer) and Lewis at the helm. Hope your summer includes a trip to the mountains of Colorado.

Does this look like spring?

I seem to be on the post a month routine but here is the latest photo from Mount Elbert Lodge where we are enjoying a white April.
We actually did see some melting of our huge snow banks but now we are getting more of the gorgeous white stuff. Expecting 10" today and tomorrow.
The first robin was sited just in time for a huge snowfall in March. He left but was seen again the last week of March. Bluebirds are back down by the lakes so I guess spring is going to appear but right now it's still great conditions for snowshoeing and back country skiing.
Low last night 10F. grab a cabin to stay cozy and your favorite gear for enjoying the snow and come on up to the mountains.
