LODGE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Updated: November 13, 2024

To preserve and enhance the exceptional facilities entrusted to us for future generations, we have planned construction projects that might impact your stay. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Old Faithful Snow Lodge

Snow Lodge roofing and fire system project – The Old Faithful Snow Lodge is undergoing a major renovation project through the 2024/25 winter season that will include reroofing, a fire system upgrade, and an enclosure of the second-floor observation deck. This project will require a diversion of foot traffic in and around the building, temporary walls and hallways, use of construction barriers, equipment staged and in use, and ongoing work is estimated to cause noise between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm.

We are working hard to minimize any inconvenience and retain the Snow Lodge’s comfortable and festive winter atmosphere. We recommend all guests regularly refer to this page for updates on this project. While we intend to keep this information current, circumstances may arise and conditions and services could change without notice.

Our elves are working hard decorating Old Faithful Snow Lodge for the winter season.
