Admit it, you're not coming to Snowpine Lodge to stay in your room. So it shouldn't matter that the room doesn't have much space for friends to crash on the floor (if they do, then somebody's probably going to get stepped on!). There are balconies and living room type spaces in which to spread out on each floor--go explore other floors to find the porch swings or couches by a double-sided fireplace.
There is room for everyone to stay plugged-in, however. Both nightstands have USB ports in addition to a duplex outlet on the side. Plus, the wall outlet the lamps are plugged into are above the top of the nightstands so you don't have to move furniture to reach them. Then there's also outlets all along the wall, including one set higher above the bench so you can reach it over your pile of luggage. There's an outlet on the balcony, of course by the sink, and even one in the water closet with the toilet!
The dresser is built-in with a countertop, and also has an outlet, which is a good height for standing at a laptop. There is a desk with a computer in the open seating area on Level 2, and a spare chair with extra desk space if you need to sit to get some work done (open guest WiFi, bring your own VPN).
It is a bummer that no mini fridge is included at this price (I guess they bought electrical outlets!). During the low occupancy of the summer when we were here, the game room arcade was in free play mode! They also have board games and a pool table which were available for free use.
We bought the cheapest king room (nonrefundable advance purchase through the property's website), and even though we're only on the second floor, we have a fantastic view of the ski hill. Even the outdoor pool and hot tubs (there are two -- separated by outdoor couches around a fireplace), which are on the bottom level, seem 3 stories up since the place is built on the side of a hill.
Though we got lucky and our room has a balcony, there is no screen on the slider. So even though the "lawn" by the pool is artificial turf, there are mosquitoes which force a choice between letting the mountain air in and keeping the pests out.
As for noise, the neighboring room may be unoccupied the night we stayed, but our other wall is to the common seating area next to the elevator lobby and we didn't notice any noise from that; other than doors closing like you would hear through the corridor from any room.
The staff is fantastic, the decor is a well matched balance of modern and rustic; the bed is firm, the sheets are smooth, and the pillows are big. All told, we would be happy to stay here again.
