Sitka Log Homes won the bid to build the 45,000 square foot day lodge (Earl’s Lodge) at Snowbasin Resort, located near the finish line for the men’s downhill and other 2002 Winter Olympic alpine ski races. Sitka Log Homes also built two smaller log lodges further up the mountain. Much of the log work you see in these lodges is built around steel framing. This is another example of log accent/log detail work or of a hybrid log lodge. Spruce log columns of 40 inches in diameter support 50 foot wide log trusses built with 24 inch diameter spruce logs, while a grid work of large diameter logs are featured in reflective ceilings throughout the structure. The oversize spruce logs were harvested locally in our northern BC forests and were dead standing timber so no live trees had to be harvested. The owners of Snowbasin Resort were very impressed with the quality of workmanship and materials used in Earl's Lodge, so they also selected Sitka Log Homes to provide the log work and installation for two other lodges -Needles Lodge and John Paul Lodge.
