November 3, 2025. sweet November.
It seems like yesterday was the first of October, time is ripping by. We finished the 6th summer season at Ruby 360 Lodge yesterday. A wonderful summer of dinners, guest lodging, package activities and putting on the show each week with an incredible crew. We started the summer season mid-May and operated each week through […]
October 7, 2025. headed south.
The unmistakeable call of the Sandhill Cranes, who summer in the Lamoille Valley, has been heard each of the last several days. The birds, who travel in pairs, begin circling the valley making their call for others to join. They circle for hours, gaining elevation and numbers. Yesterday there was a group of more than […]
September 7, 2025. the cut.
Five days, deep in the Rubies. We returned from the annual Ruby chainsaw cutting mission a few days ago. One of my favorite weeks of the year. We fly in via helicopter from the lodge with the crew, gear, food (Prepped and packaged by Francy) and cooked on the mountain by JR, and base on […]
August 22, 2025. cotton candy sky.
The Ruby Summer rolls on. Nighttime temperatures are beginning to drop into the 40’s and the days are getting noticeably shorter.

The Ruby summer is flying by. It is hard to believe it is already the end of June. It seems like yesterday the guide crew was here and we had just finished year 48 of Ruby. Ruby 360 Lodge is looking good this summer season. After 6-7 years of growth, the trees around the lodge […]
April 6, 2025. If you can hear us, we made it.
A lot of emotions. This place is impossible to describe. You have to live it. We finished our 48th season today skiing 5 runs of extra vertical of peel away corn on the south facing giants on the East Side. One of the best three day tours I remember with great weather, incredible snow and […]
April 5, 2025. back 2 back.
Two of the best back to back days of the season. After 10 runs yesterday, we went into the high alpine magic for 9 runs today. We skied several peaks for the first time of the season, landing on the 11,387 foot Ruby Dome, the highest peak in the Rubies and the 11,200+ foot Triangle […]
April 4, 2025. let it all work out.
Today was a day that you would tell your friends about. And they would never believe you. Cold April temperatures, clear skies, incredible snow, no wind. Ten runs in four different canyons on day one of the final tour of the 2025 season. We have Matt Bansak, a professional photographer from Tahoe who joins us […]
April 3, 2025. always remember.

Six runs with a stable snowpack, good flying and exceptional skiing. The final tour of the season arrives tonight for the three-day weekend trip. The […]
