3+1 bedrooms, 3 full baths easily accommodated 7 of us. Beds were comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. 2 full size ski storage lockers. Gas bbq grill on patio porch. Lodge was clean and tidy. Indoor parking was available to us.
The Trappeurs Crossing amenity center — the Lair — across the street from Emerald includes a front desk staffed all day by friendly staff, provides all day coffee, a weekly happy hour, and ice cream social. The Trappeurs Crossing complex includes multiple heated hot tubs (indoor and out) and pools.
The included Vacasa ski area shuttle service was top notch. Lots of nice shuttles, good drivers, very short wait times, and by-request transport to/from locations downtown (restaurants, food stores, etc).
The ski area is well within walking distance if preferred.
Be sure to ID yourself as a Vacasa guest to obtain a 20% discount for advance lift tickets and gear rentals.
Would be nice to have smart TVs for steaming/mirroring ski videos and photos.
It was a bit clunky getting checked-in and finding our entry key fobs as they were in another building in the complex. To be fair, we were there after >310” of accumulated snow and many signs were buried, making it a challenge to find building names and addresses.
We had a great ski vacation and this lodge was a huge part of a wonderful experience.
