Winter at Kit Carson Lodge

 

November 14, 2008 – May 25, 2009

During the winter season, the Lodge closes its facilities except for Polar Bear Cottage. The Cottage sits on the edge of frozen Silver Lake, isolated from the highway, peaceful and very comfortable. Polar Bear is available for rent mid-November through Memorial Day. Surrounded by spectacular peaks rising from the 7300 foot lake elevation, Polar Bear Cottage is situated at the west end of the resort, closest to Highway 88. Winter guests park near the highway and proceed on foot, snowshoes or skis for the 400 yards to Polar Bear Cottage’s front door. The caretaker is usually available to help you bring in your supplies.

Polar Bear is a 6-person cottage with 2 bedrooms (one with a queen size bed and the other with two twin beds); there are also 2 studio couches in the living room. The cottage has a bathroom with shower only and a fully equipped kitchen, stocked with cookware, dishes and the basic cooking/kitchen condiments and staples. Bed linens, bath and kitchen towels and paper products are provided. And for your evening pleasure there are books, board games and TV with VCR and DVD. Firewood is provided and the cottage also has a propane furnace.

The beauty of Polar Bear is in its surrounding area that is incredibly majestic and quiet when the entire landscape is laid to rest under a mantel of snow. When you snowshoe or ski right out your front door along the forested edge of Silver Lake and you are the only ones out there you will discover that winter is the unforgettable time at Silver Lake.
