UPDATE 5 FEBRUARY 2012

 Did a little skiing on Thursday and the out of bounds was pretty wind blown.  They had some pretty strong winds the first part of the week and exposed areas were blown clear of new snow with some of the old snow also blown away.  There was some good powder in the trees, but not the 9 inches they said they had received since last Sunday.  We are again in a drought as far as snow goes around here and none forecast.  Connie and I are rather bummed right now.  Sounds like Colorado got some snow though.

Things are going pretty well other than that though.  Gary and Margee got back from Arizona last night.  Thought they were going to stay a little longer this year, but I guess they got homesick! 

We had to be pretty careful on top as there is a lot of hazards blown clean of snow now.

Connie starting down some of the wind blown powder.

We have squirrels living in our hay stack and they have really stored up the pine cones in there.

First sun hitting the peaks on the west side the other morning.
