What's New
Mid Winter 2012
As the US continues to struggle with a poor snow pack, Mountain Home Lodge has been fortunate with its current snow cover. Our sledding conditions are fast and all trails have snow coverage for snow shoeing and trekking. X/C skiing has struggled some with stiff conditions.
"A heavy winter" is still the NOAA long range forecast and certainly this winter is showing many of the same parrallels as last winter. At this time last year we had 48" of total snowfall and within a month and half (end of March 2011) we reached our normal snow fall of 150 inches. This funny twist made for the best snow condiitons from mid February through March. Hopefully NOAA's predictions will be correct for 2012. as you may have heard Alaska is seeing record snow fall and a change in the jet stream is expected to lower into our region soon.
In the meantime Chef O'bregon has posted his mid winter recipe on our web site at: http://www.mthome.com/recipe.html.
Spring wildflower reservations have started early again this year with the expected late snow pack hopefully generating another year of outstanding wildflowers throughout our meadow and trail system. This picture of our balsam root was taken mid May 2011.
