X-country skiing 2026


Conditions alternated between powdery in the sun (good) and icy in the shade (bad). I only occasionally lost control. From the point of view of cardio exercise however it was great.

chains


Now those are some heavy duty chains!

lodge coffee


I was struck by how very, very good the coffee was in Tamarack Lodge - fresh, strong, flavorful and blessed with the power to a heal any headache, altitude sickness or other malady. I was also struck by how well Mrs' outfit went with the wintery, lodgey atmosphere.

evening in the lodge


Choose your cozy. The lobby was cozy but quite warm and dry, due to stove and fireplace. The room was cooler and cozy. They both worked for me at different times.

The Lakefront 2026


The soup du jour was cucumber and as a green soup enthusiast I approved. Gotta love this restaurant with dining so fine that it's almost too fine, but the convenience of the location within Tamarack Lodge is unsurpassed after a couple days of driving.

mulled wine

 

We don't often have mulled wine, but when we do, it's at Tamarack Lodge 😁
