I apologize for the delay in any updates here at the lodge. We have continued to receive a good amount of snow since I last wrote, but the down side is that the wind has just been terrible. I still will not complain it has been a great season here this winter and as long as the snow keeps coming it will then end our winter season well. Since the last post we have had some return guest visit and stay for a few days as well as some new faces and have to say it has been a very enjoyable experience for the staff.

What I wish all could have witnessed last night was something very special to see and the great thing is that all of our guests where around to enjoy it. We had last night one of the best piano performances in this lodge by three different people and it was just something to listen too and watch. The names will not be spoken of but for those who played I would like to say thank you again for such a performance and I truly have never seen the Brooks Lake Lodge Piano played that well for that long and for all to enjoy and I do have to say it was one the most memorable evenings for me over the last 9 yrs.

We had a small wedding this past weekend and it went well, minus the blustery conditions for photos afterwards. The snowmobilers had nothing but good things to say about the terrain and where the guides where taking them. For those of you still looking to come out this season please beware of the snow conditions on hillsides and such, I am not telling anyone to avoid all hill climbing I am just advising those who enjoy the sport of seeing who can climb the highest to first assess the situation before climbing.

The season is rapidly coming to a close for us we roughly only have 2 weeks left of our winter season and apologize if we are closing to early for some of you to see us.

The President's Day weekend was a hit for the lodge and for the local area. We had great numbers for lunch guest visitor's. In house wise we ran about 50% occupancy. The snow was a little light for the weekend traffic but did not here to many complaints because we are one of the few areas who has snow. Well on that note the snow has started and is coming down well as of now. We have received between 12 inches and 14 inches of fresh snow since last night and more is on the way. NOAA is calling for 3 - 4 ft of snow above 9000 ft in the next few days and from what I can see it just might happen and maybe even a little more. The guides where out this afternoon and where riding just around the lodge new Sublette Meadow and they where having face shots of snow over the hoods of the snowmobiles. It has only been a month since the last true snow storm and it truelly has felt longer. This new snow will help the backcountry riding conditions tremedously, we will then have to watch to see how the avalanche danger goes after this all clears. Lets hope the wind does not blow everything that is falling into the trees but at this time it is not and sure looks like the next 5 days will be some of the best riding since the end of January. Wish everyone could enjoy this fresh snow and if your around please stop in and at least tell us how it is.

The snow has set up the past few days, but we are receive some fresh as we speak.
We would like to thank all of our new guests and return guests for their support and business thus far this winter season.
