L2R and Diamond,

Have you ever been to either location and if so, what would you rate #1 based on your perceptions and which would align best to such an event.

Diamond,

What is a "vow"? Kidding of course, just making a man joke. Forgive me...

Thanks for the inputs thus far.

Hello Ladies,

I figured I would reach out to the smart ones on Snowest to seek guidance...!

This March my bride and I will celebrate our 30th anniversary. She enjoys sledding as much as I do. We never go unless the other is in trail. I figured I might surprise her by setting up a weekend stay at one of the local snowmobile resorts in Colorado.

We moved to Colorado Springs a few years ago and we have never been to any of the resorts.

I have looked at a few on the internet but would truly appreciate your input. Just so you know, we are not expert sledders, yet, but enjoy a little of everything.

Also, I am currently considering Electric Mountain Lodge, Arrow Head (I think that is the name), and Togwotee Mountain Lodge.

I would prefer to stay in Colorado for obvious reasons but I want her to enjoy the surroundings, the riding and the accommodations. Rustic is not a problem with her.

I appreciate your thoughts and your comments. Maybe a diamond ring instead? Speak freely. As a retired Marine you won’t hurt my feelings...

AKS,

I like you already...! Seriously, always nice to hear a compliment like yours. Sure hope my bride will think the same as you. As I think she almost enjoys the sport more then me I hope this one was a no brainer. I guess we could have gone to Alaska on a cruise or Mexico to some beach, but I think she enjoys sledding more; thank goodness, I hate beaches, most of the time, but especially when there is snow on the ground.

Hoping to hear back from TML soon, wrote a few emails asking for information but nothing yet, must be busy or else my emails are going into some electronic void, or they don't want my business.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words, it is appreciated.

You are very welcome! A good man should hear it and hear it often! You could always plan a trip to Alaska in the winter - we have plenty of great Alaskan SWsters on here that will show you and your wife an awesome snowmachine of a time Otherwise definitely a summer trip up here should be on your list of places to see! Let me know I'd be happy to help you plan on places to see and things to do. I work at the Univ of Alaska Anchorage turning the residence halls into a hotel like operation in the summer so I could help you out on your lodging and quite inexpensive too. We reserve to individuals, groups, couples, you name it we reserve it. Dash, another SWster, gives Alaskan Tours too - she'd be a great one to contact too.

Good luck on hearing back from the lodge there in CO. I would call if you don't hear back from them today. IMO.

Cheers! :beer;

I think it's wonderful what you are setting up! And yes, other guys could learn something from reading this.

I'm sure this is exactly the sort of thing that has built such a strong bond between you and your bride, and in having 30 years of happiness together.

I don't know anything about any of those places, thus my hesitation at posting to this thread. A week-end stay at a resort to relax and enjoy each other......and some great riding........I can't think of anything better.
