9" of POWDER

This morning we woke up to 9" of very dry Powder, it was nice to see finally, maybe this will be the beginning of the SNOW season for the year, it started yesterday afternoon. Today though we only got a 1/4" of new snow and tonight we have clear skies, so we will see what happens.
Peace & Bear just ran around like crazy several times Bear just disappeared in the new snow, there are many trails where they ran and several places that have been laid down by them wrestling with each other. Peace is quite the marathon runner, she runs to the dam when I take the Ranger up there, it's a little over 3 miles one way and almost 800' higher she seem to love running which she constantly does, when we go for walks she can be right next to us or 500 yds away chasing smells or tracks of the critters running in the snow.


Peace and Bear are quite the pair they have become true mountain dogs, they would rather be playing in the snow or on the hunt for something than being inside where it is warm, but then so would I, it is so very beautiful with the snow in the trees, changing the landscape, the snow & ice dams in the creek from the very cold temps. The other day while Peace & Bear were out playing around the river around here they came home with an old beaver skull, totally clean with a litle dirt but very big front teeth, I was surprised it was in such good shape, not sure where they found it but my guess is that the old beaver we have had problems with finally died and they found it. Maybe tomorrow we'll have to go look for the rest of it or maybe just have to go move my truck further out due to the recent snows we've had, which I will gladly do to have it a sno-park from Fish Lake. It's time to get those snowmobiles tuned up and ready to play, get those skis and snowboards waxed and ready to tackle the slopes, especially the backcountry lovers and whatever you do Think SNOW, Live LIFE to the Max, and enjoy every minute.
We found our Paradise, hope you find your too.
