Need I say more?

We just received over 20 inches of fresh powder!

The skiing, snowshoeing and food are fantastic. Come on up.

March goes out like a lion!

Well the winter storm we have been waiting for has finally arrived and Galena Lodge has received 6 inches of snow today and it is still snowing. It feels like winter again even if it is just for a short while. The trails are in great shape though they will most likely have some new snow on them today. Come on up and enjoy a great day of skiing or snowshoeing then head back to the lodge for a warm cocktail or beer by the fire while we make your lunch.

Galena will close for the winter season at the end of the day on Sunday April 5

Living the Dream in Idaho!

All of us who are lucky enough to either live or visit Idaho know what makes this place so special. A combination of great people, gorgeous mountains, alpine lakes, great food, perfectly groomed trails, miles and miles of trails, sunshine, and great skiing (I know there is a lot more reasons but these are just some). I often find myself skiing in the morning before everyone gets up to the lodge and it is so peaceful and beautiful out there on the trails, it just doesn't get much better. Every time I walk out my door and look across the valley at Galena Peak I know why I live here. So now that spring is here it is time to get out and enjoy the sun whether it be skiing, biking, snowshoeing or enjoying lunch on the deck; just make sure you get out there!

Galena Lodge will be open for 3 more weeks and the skiing is great. When the temps warm up you need to get up and out early to enjoy the cold snow and as the day warms head back to the lodge for a great lunch and beer on the deck while the kids and dogs play in they snow!

We hope to see you up here soon! Happy skiing!
