Eldora will open a new 12,000-square-foot lodge on Wednesday in its lower mountain area to provide a new gathering space for visitors and a home for two programs. The new Caribou Lodge will house the Eldora children’s ski school and Ignite Adaptive Sports. It’s an energy-efficient building in accordance with green building codes that will include a café, modern restrooms, a retail shop, a second-floor deck and spaces for lessons and gear rentals. “This really is a lodge in our lower mountain and I think what it’s adding is a new place for people to gather and to share this winter experience and share this common love of being outside and sliding on snow,” said Hunter Wright, director of sustainability and project development at Eldora. Design and planning for the Caribou Lodge began in 2019 and construction started in 2023.
