The Lodge Report: News From The Slopes

Mountain Waffle Hut Aromas Expected To Lift Around 12 PM

The line outside the Belgian Waffle Cabin has reached record highs as a south-westerly wind whipped through the peak, wafting the smell of syrup and crisp waffles across trails, ravines, and lift lines.

“Skiers should expect to smell the irresistible Belgian delight until around noon as winds with gusts of up to 60 mph whip around the cabin,” said lead forecaster Wanda Clouds as hordes of riders descended upon the unsuspecting establishment, like bumble bees to a hive.

Skiers from as far as Wisconsin flocked to the waffle hut, but were disappointed to find the place ransacked and the waffle chef being carried off by grizzlies.

“They could have let us know that the place had been overrun before we made the trek over here,” said the Wisconsinite as the chef waved a waffle from a tree for rescue, “I guess we’ll have to go to IHOP.”

Skier's Fur Hat Actually Just A Mink Sitting On Head

In a fashion faux pas, a skier’s poofy fur hat was actually revealed to be a winter mink. Tata Prince was sitting at a table outside the Snowflake Cafe when her hat reportedly uncurled and scampered into a snow bank.

When asked how it got on her head, Tata responded, “How did what? What hat?” as the mink scurried across the cafe and perched atop an unsuspecting skier, making him the most fashionable après skier in the lodge.

“Put me in Vogue,” said the skier before paparazzi swirled around him to admire his sense of style.

Rider Terrifies Skiers After He Whips Through A Snow Gun Cloud, Emerging Like Mountain Yeti

A skier blazed through a snow gun cloud, like he was going through a car wash, and emerged covered in snow and ice, resembling the legendary and elusive mountain yeti.

“Yeti! Yeti!” shouted kids everywhere as they popped off their skis and ran for their lives.

“Yeti! Take shelter!” alerted ski patrollers as they let go of their toboggans, sending staff running into warming huts, and lodges shuttering their doors, fearing the mountain yeti was here to enact revenge, according to mountain lore.

“I’ve been skeptical of its existence but have been waiting my whole life for this day,” said ski patroller Lance Pulley as he climbed down into his yeti shelter, where he expects to be underground for weeks until the yeti passes.

Conditions Remain The "Best They’ve Ever Been" For The 20th Year In A Row, According To Highly Paid Snowologists

Conditions remain the best they’ve ever been at the mountain for the 20th consecutive year, which has even puzzled highly paid snowologists, such as Dr. Flake.

“In a spectacular winter miracle, the conditions have been at their peak for over a decade and have shown no signs of slowing down,” said Dr. Flake as he was paid $100K to make a statement about snow conditions mountain-wide. “I have no idea how it’s possible, but the conditions are 100% perfect…again!”

"We’ve just had the luck of the draw, I suppose,” said local rider Hutchins Jackman as he boarded over a couple rocks and twigs covered by a dusting of snow. “I take Dr. Flake’s word for it, and am happy to say I’ve skied the best conditions every day for 20 years straight.”
