Friendly staff at the ski rentals. What I disliked: Nothing to report Comments: A great bargain -- for $99 per person per night for a double, you get a trail pass (worth $15 per day); great dinner ($30-35), and a great country breakfast ($10-$15). Don't pass-up the homemade pie at dinner -- it's world class. Submitted by: JPN from: PA Date submitted: March 11, 2005

Name of XC Area: Garnet Hill Lodge Times that I have skied there: Once I last skied there in: Jan, 2005 Trails that I skied: the intermediates My favorite trails: Trail marking: Very good Trail grooming: Very good Rating: 5 stars What I liked: One long trail is mostly downhill for about 45 minutes, then you can cheat with a van ride back to the top. I did ski back one time and it was quite a bit of work. Very scenic. Trails go right up to the cabins. Good variety for both easy and intermediate. More elevation changes than most other places. What I disliked: Comments: They had snow when Lake George had under an inch. Submitted by: from: Date submitted: March 4, 2005
