Storm Watching
The location of our resort offers our guests the unique opportunity to enjoy our magnificent winter storms during January - February, combined with lots of rain. Our lodge property is located in a "funnel" where the North/East wind hits in full force, squeezed through the narrow mountains opening up in view of our lodge. During those 2 months of the year, the wind sometimes changes directions with the rainy West Wind which carries horizontal rain falls into our valley. Nowhere in our area does the winter storm hit as intense as within the 1 mile radius of our resort.
Storm watching doesn't really require anything of the observer but stillness and wonder. Storm watching is best advantaged from our waterfront resort where a good book, a fireplace and maybe a down duvet across your lap are really all you need to experience the fury and the force of nature on the other side of your rattling, double paned window. Or for the more adventurous, head out into the storm to experience the power of the wind and to hear the symphony of nature. Waders of any size are waiting in our drying room to be used for your storm watching adventure.
This is also the time of they year when our herd of wild bison enjoy themselves immensely, as the low temperatures makes them feel cozy. Enjoy them from every room of the lodge.
