Several members possessed needed building skills that guided and taught other less skilled members, enabling the Lodge to be first opened for use for the 1960-1961 ski season.

Sleeping accommodations are in four dorm style rooms, two for men and two for women.  There is a balcony area for studying or homework, complete with a phone line allowing use of personal computers. 

Downstairs offers an area for children to watch videos, play video or other games, including ping-pong. 

The Lodge also has two shower rooms, one men's and one women's, complete with sinks and mirrors. 

Upon arrival, members can select any available bed in one of the dorms, and sign up for a cleaning task (to be performed at the time of departure, readying the Lodge for its next visitors).

Work Weekends are still a very important part of the Marin Ski Club.
