Entry 3: Winter Meetings & Gatherings

Field notes from the forest

Exhale – Reconnect.

Winter changes the pace at Elk Ridge. The fairways go quiet under the snow, the spruce hold the cold light, and the Lodge becomes the warm centre of everything. It’s the season when a team finally has room to slow down and talk, and when a year’s worth of work gets the celebration it deserves. Just fifty minutes from Prince Albert, the resort is close enough for a day of meetings and far enough away to feel like you’ve truly stepped out of the office.

Here is what a winter gathering at Elk Ridge can look like.


Room to Think

Pick the room that fits the agenda.

Our meeting spaces adapt to the day you have planned, from a focused boardroom session to a full-day workshop, with audio-visual support and catering to keep things running smoothly.

For the whole company, the Wapiti Ballroom welcomes up to 200 people across 3,000 square feet. The Whitetail, our smaller ballroom, holds up to 40, which makes it the right size for a leadership retreat or a department planning day. And when the conversation calls for something more intimate, the Wine Room at Fredrich seats up to 24 for a board dinner or a small team that does its best thinking over a good meal.

All three are indoors and open all season, so the snow outside only adds to the view.

Between Sessions

The best ideas tend to show up away from the table. Once the snow settles in, the forest becomes your breakout room: snowshoe the quiet trails, glide through the spruce on cross-country skis, or lace up for a game on the skating pond. Tobogganing and curling are easy wins for a team that likes a little friendly competition.

For a slower afternoon, book the Private Cedar Sauna or a treatment at Drift Spa & Wellness. The saltwater pool and hot tub are included in your stay, waiting at the end of a long day.

Winter activities depend on the weather, so check the activities page or ask our Events Team as your dates get closer.

Around the Table

Mornings

Start the day at Fredrich Café in the Lodge, where a coffee by the window has a way of turning into the first good conversation of the day.

Evenings

When the last session wraps, Fredrich Inspired Kitchen + Cocktails is right there in the Lodge. Settle in with the cocktail menu while the light turns blue over the snow, and let dinner stretch as long as the conversation does.

For the whole group

Our catering options are built around your event, from working lunches to a sit-down dinner for the whole room, and the team will work with you to keep service seamless. Have a look through our catering package to start.

Current hours and menus are on the dining pages.


A Christmas Party in the Forest

The season of gathering deserves a setting to match. A year-end celebration at Elk Ridge comes with festive dining, cozy spaces, and the quiet beauty of the boreal forest just outside the window.

Bring the whole company together in the Wapiti Ballroom for dinner and a night of celebrating, or gather a smaller team in the Wine Room at Fredrich for a long, unhurried meal. Book rooms for the night, and nobody has to think about the drive home. The morning after, there’s breakfast in the Lodge, a walk in the snow, and one more coffee before everyone heads out.

Our Events Team takes care of the details, so all you have to do is enjoy the evening.
