Clubhouse Chalet where your ski trips have started since 1962. Desite the six

see at a world class resort, with 32 foot high cathedral ceilings, tongue and
groove cedar decking, massive wooden beams, 2 story stone chimney with
fireplaces on both floors and a great lodge feel on the extrior with natural
stone and cedar.
