The Winter Spirit
Everyone has their favourite season. There is magic found in each one. That’s why it’s so hard to choose just one favourite. At the Lodge at Panther River, we love every season too. But we’re particularly fond of Winter…when the wonderland blanket of white snow covers the gorgeous Canadian rockies. When the air gets cold so we can dress cozy, warm & all wrapped up.
When the seasons change, that chill in the air brings you back to childhood. There is always a memory that stands out in your mind when the seasons change. In the Fall for me, it’s the smell of the earth changing to get ready for winter. The landscapes of magical colors and walking through crisp leaves on the ground. I can hear those leaves even now, that memory never fades. The feeling of Winter approaching, time begins slowing down. It’s a beautiful thing that each year we get to ease our pace as our hair is blown back in the cool breeze…feeling wild and free. It is so peaceful, and quiet. Everyone needs a little bit more of that ease from nature.
As December rolls around new memories also come to mind. The excitement the snow brings, the feeling of family, friends, and community coming together, the playfulness in the snow you may have had as a child shines through even as an adult. It’s the winter spirit – the Christmas/Holiday Spirit coming to life.
At The Lodge at Panther River, we stay open in these cold months to bring that Holiday spirit to our lodge. This Christmas we are thrilled to be fully booked with families coming to enjoy the winter wonderland in the Panther Valley. What is better way than having Christmas breakfast served to you in your private cabin as you spend precious time with your loved ones. Followed by an afternoon lacing up the skates for a tour around our skating rink. Your family can also roasts marshmallows nearby on a roaring fire. Hear the sleigh bells ringing through the mountain air as the horses trot through the snow for an epic sleigh ride just for your family. The experiences that fill our Winters here at the Lodge at Panther River are something made of dreams.
