At Snowpine Lodge, sustainability is at the heart of our operations, reflecting our deep commitment to preserving the natural beauty of the mountains we call home. We actively engage in cardboard recycling, reducing waste and promoting eco-friendly practices. One of our proudest initiatives is the installation of water bottle refilling stations, which have helped eliminate over 10,500 single-use plastic bottles (as of March 2025). We also encourage guests to reduce linen and towel changes during their stayover services, helping to conserve water and minimize waste. These efforts not only reduce our environmental footprint but also foster sustainable habits among our visitors. We care deeply about the environment because we live in these mountains and want to protect them for future generations. Snowpine Lodge is dedicated to being a responsible steward of the land, ensuring the pristine beauty of our surroundings endures for years to come.

Cleaning and Sanitation
Our team has implemented enhanced sanitization protocols across the hotel, developed with guidance provided by local health authorities, the CDC, AHLA Safe Stay guidelines and other governmental agencies. The frequency of cleaning and disinfecting the hotel, with additional focus on high-touch surfaces such as the front desk, elevators, door handles and public restrooms, has been increased to ensure a clean and safe environment for our guests and team members. This elevated approach extends to the cleaning and sanitation processes within our guest rooms, restaurants and team member service areas.
Physical Distancing
Guests are advised to practice physical distancing and maintain a space of six feet apart from others, our team members will be doing the same with reception and service areas reconfigured to assure a safe space between team members. The tables in our restaurant have been configured to allow proper spacing for diners and team members.
Guest Rooms
We have enhanced cleaning and sanitization protocols for our guest rooms to include the use of cleaning products and standards which meet recommended guidelines and are approved for use against viruses, bacteria and other airborne and blood borne pathogens and with particular attention to high-touch items and surfaces within the room.
