The Story of Garnet Hill Lodge : President's Week at GHL after Champagne and Chocolate Valentine's Day

And so we're gearing up for President's week now. We have a variety of events planned for the week. Our trails continue to hold up for skiing and we're optimistic that we'll get some additional snow coming in by the weekend.

Tuesday, February 21st: Milda Burns – 4 – 5 p.m. She'll talk and entertain us with her colorful recollections about the history of the area, going back at least a few years but we can't say exactly how many.

And we had a wonderful evening at the Lodge on Valentine's day. More than 80 great people celebrated with us for dinner and a number stayed for the night. Here are a few pics taken by Mary Irene Lee with her group of friends from Minerva, NY.
