🐕 PET POLICY
Historical pet-policy guidance.
Pets are not permitted in the lodge, on slopes, or in base area common spaces. Service animals are accommodated with documentation. The resort is compact and heavily trafficked, making it unsuitable for bringing pets.
Confirm rooms, fees and access rules with the property or resort before you travel. A pet-friendly area does not mean pets can use ski slopes or lifts.
