Lynne, Do you know if Julia is going to work up there this year? Maybe she has more info. I tried looking at TPRs website, but all of the info is old, plus on webpages like trip advisor, the most recent posts state that no one answers their emails. Seems kind of strange. I know you liked working there, but there are a lot of complaints about how reservations are handled. Don't the owners or managers give you any idea on when they will open?

Moosie, I've only worked there for part of a season and loved it. I don't know if Julia will be there. I know they have web and internet issues. Having no phone or internet at the lodge and then being closed for months is a challenge. Hope people don't give up on going to an incredibly awesome place. Peace, Lynne

yesterday they were shoveling the roof of the lodge. The building is totally buried, at least6-10 feet of snow on the roof. The road is open to Tioga lake and the skiing is delicious!!

You can park at the entrance to Saddlebag road, or at Tioga Lake, but that is it. I can't imagine the Saddlebag road opening for at least another month.

Now that the road is plowed through we have entered the 2-4 weeks where we hear absolutely nothing from the NPS about when the road will open. The real waiting game has begun.

I hope not.. but I know what you mean. Maybe someone will get motivated to go up there on a bike and take pics for us.
I really appreciate all the pics shared so far.
