All rooms have: hair dryer, TV, small refrigerator, etc. The lodge has a nice lounge on the main floor with lots of chairs, game tables, fireplace, and has large windows overlooking the slopes. There is an elevator, exercise room, outdoor pool, hot tub and laundry facilities. A full breakfast is served family style each morning. A complimentary soup lunch is served from 12:00-1:30 PM.

Cancellation Policy and Fees*
*If it becomes necessary for you to cancel your trip, the trip leaders will try to minimize your losses although some fees are mandated by the airline, hotel and tour operator. All cancellations must be in writing. We strongly urge you to purchase trip insurance (see above).
*If you are a “single” participant requesting space on a PVS-endorsed ski trip, and your roommate cancels, you will be offered the choice of one of the following three options: 1) Helping the trip leader find a replacement trip participant who will fill the space vacated; or 2) Staying on the ski trip by paying the “single supplement”; or 3) Canceling from the ski trip and paying all currently due penalties.
*Cancellation fees are as follows: None prior to August 1; Aug. 1 to Sept. 30 $200; Oct.1 to
Oct. 31 $500; Nov. 1 to Nov. 20 $1200. Additional charges may apply, depending upon actual costs. After Nov. 20 no refund is likely.
