9 inches of fresh snow!

A beautiful sunrise this morning and 9 inches of fresh snow on the ground. The skies are clear, the trails are groomed, the cookies are baked and the home made eggnog is ready. Come on up and enjoy Galena today!

As the holidays approach...

A pale moon, lingering in the trees, illuminates newly fallen snow while Galena Lodge’s hearth releases a comforting plume of smoke into the crisp night air.

 Whether striding through glades, gliding through meadows or ripping psychotic downhills, Galena Lodge offers something for every winter enthusiast. With the Lodge’s unrivaled six-foot snow base, all 55 kilometers of Nordic and snowshoe trails await. The only question is: what are you waiting for?

Here are some pictures from the last few days:

What a week it was!

Sometimes pictures say it all.
