Wakaranai

We get asked all the time: what are you?

A ski lodge, a creative residency, a tech retreat. Or just a good place to spend some time.

It changes with the seasons, and with who walks through the door.

We built the place we felt we needed. Something that isn't just one thing all the time, somewhere you can come for skiing, to work through something, or to step away for a bit.

If you're here, you probably have a sense of what that means. There are three main ways people come:

Wakaranai Labs

For founders, builders, and creatives working in and around technology. A few days outside your usual flow to get perspective on what you're building.

Guests sitting together on the floor, making and painting.

Wakaranai Escapes

For people who want to slow down, reset, or spend time differently. Resets, Analog Weeks, and longer creative residencies, a few days, a week, or more, at a different pace.

Ski Lodge

During the winter we welcome skiers, snowboarders and snow lovers in our lodge. We offer a warm place to sleep, a ski repair shop with Riley as a technician and a community to ski with.

We're not trying to design a perfect experience. Just a place where you can get what you need from it.
