Superficially, Basecamp Lodge at Golden checks all the boxes: helpful staff, cosy log cabin atmosphere in the common area, fireplace well stoked, excellent mattresses. However, corners seem to have been cut in the Lodge's construction. Walls are very thin. I could hear everything from the room next door, and plumbing activated from above instigated a veritable hurricane of sloshing sounds. Luckily, skiers are an early-to-bed bunch, so I did eventually get enough rest.
