3 / Floor Compass

Inside the front entrance, the helpful floor compass by Pete Ferrarin, is a marble mosaic of brass and tile in cement. His son, Mario, restored it in 1979 after thousands of ski boots over time had damaged it beyond repair. During a 1983 remodel, rust tiles were added to highlight the lodge’s natural earth setting. Our lodge has curved lobby layouts that feature hand-adzed beams and columns of timber harvested from this site. Masoned stone, hand-forged iron and enormous wood planks secure a wonderful visual pace for your visit.
