Skate Skiing to Trinity

Rob & John started out to Trinity around 6am from the Fish Lake Sno-park skate skiing to Trinity and arrived 2 hours and 22 min later, a very quick trip for 23 miles on skis. I got an email from Rob earlier this week about them making the run out here since the trail was getting groomed one last time for the season. It was raining at the time and we got over 1" of rain that day, yesterday morning I emailed him to let him know how wet the snow was after our morning hike. He said they were coming as long as it got groomed wo we both wanted colder temps than 33, we got it 23 overnight due to clear skies. This morning couldn't have been better for them the road was groomed and freezing temps set it up nicely making for a fast trip. I had coffee on for them and the dogs let me know they were here. We had coffee and visited for a little while while they warmed up some, but since the sun was getting higher and higher fast they headed out after their snack and coffee to have good snow on the way back instead of soft snow, it really slows them down. This is the 2nd year for this trek and they couldn't have had a more beautiful day for it, who wants to join them next time. It's an adventure with a cozy resting place with a hot cup of coffee and happiness in the middle of the mountains.

We found our Paradise, hope you find your's too.

Playing in my Backyard

Since yesterday we've had over 18" of snow fall here and today several friends came out for skiing, snowmobiling & brunch. It was a great day it puked snow and for the first time since mid Jan this is the most snow at one time we have gotten here. Sometimes it was snowing over 2"+/hr of beautiful POW. Everyone had a great time and the dogs really loved it, at time all you could see of Bear was the top of his head but they just love the deep POW to play in, but then again don't we all. We are now over 6' on our gauge and that is a good thing.
Even though we have held what snow we have had here never getting lower than 3.5' it just wasn't adding up do to warming and settling before it got to 4' and then today we finally went over 6'. I've always liked the snow and seeing everything white in the trees because it is so clean and beautiful but until it stopped snowing I never realized what kind of impact it caused. Most people that know me know I'm very laid back and never let things bother me, take everything in stride but when things started turning white again I realized I was feeling depressed due to the lack of snow especially during the middle of winter, now that it's snowing I feel revived and much happier now. I love the snow and the mountains and getting to live here is the Bomb, just can't see living anywhere else.


I feel great now and have enjoyed sharing this wonderful place with my friends, if you love snow and wintersports of any kind you can find it here, most only visit but my dogs and I live here always, what could make life better... that is another story...
Get out and enjoy these beautiful surroundings and the POWPOW, it does a body great.

We found our Paradise, hope you find your's too. Namaste'
