Ski Season is Here

It's a new year and time for some New Year's resolutions. One of mine is to blog more often about what's going on at the Inn and in Greenwood Lake. So here goes.

The local ski resorts are in full swing. With a decent amount of natural snowfall last week and freezing temperatures that allow for round-the-clock snowmaking, so far 2013 is shaping up to be a good season. Once again the Waterstone Inn is an official hotel partner of Tuxedo Ridge. Which means if you're a guest of the Inn you'll receive a 25% discount off the list price of lift tickets and rentals. We're just 4.5 miles from the base of the mountain and if the freezing temps continue, we should be able to get some ice skating going on our lakefront.

Free BBQ Every Friday Night!

Just in case you need another excuse to make it to the mountain, here's a great one. Every Friday night in January and February 6 p.m.-8 p.m. Tuxedo Ridge ski resort will treat its customers to a free BBQ complete with hotdogs, hamburgers, side dishes and more. All you need is a paid lift ticket for that day or a season pass. Couple this deal with the Waterstone Inn's Ski for Free Friday promotion and you've got an afforable little ski trip. Forecast is for snow tonight. Finally!

Ski for Free Fridays is Back!

Just in time for the 2012 ski/snowboard season the Waterstone Inn is again offering Ski for Free Fridays. Simply stay Friday and Saturday night and we'll pick up the tab for 2 full day Friday lift tickets at Tuxedo Ridge. Check out http://www.waterstoneinn.com/ for ski and stay rates.

Halloween Snow!

The trick was on us this year. Greenwood Lake got dumped with about 17 inches of snow this weekend. Couple that with fall leaves still on the trees and the end result was a lot of damage, road closures and power outages. Thankfully the Inn fared well. We're hoping to have electric service restored today.

Innkeeping is always an adventure. Saturday night we hosted the cast and crew of The Weather Channel. They were broadcasting from our area since apparently we were at the top for snow accumulations. Guess it's time to start thinking about ski season.
