"The Lodge at Spruce Peak makes intelligent use of high-quality local materials, with stone from local quarries and timber from local forests. It’s a year-round resort with golf, a spa, and fly-fishing excursions in addition to the main ski season event. Even outside of ski season, the events calendar is packed, with farmers' markets, film screenings, concerts, fitness classes, farm-to-table dinners, arts and crafts sessions, and guided hikes, along with robust family programming. The (very well-heated) pool is open throughout the year to work off some of the delectable dishes featured at the resort restaurant." - Sophie Friedman
