A snorkel wood-fired hot tub

Someday we're going to have one of these off of our own back porch. A dark snowy night, steaming hot water and the sound of a crackling fire makes for the most amazing combination.

A Gift

Perfect from top to bottom

  

From the knobby recycled glass vase to the understated snowy-white blossoms. I've so enjoyed watching these grow!

Castle Peak

Castle Peak is becoming our favorite choice for an icy but sunny backcountry ski day. The south facing slopes and gullies warm up just perfectly in the mid afternoon sun. Softening the ice and making for a fantastic ski descent.

 

In other news, these three and some of my favorite cousins came to visit over the weekend. It was good. As in, we woke up to our houseguests making us breakfast kind of good.

Dawn Patrol

Turned out to be far more enjoyable then we ever suspected. Best tracks on the mountain!

'tis the Season

In between ill-fated adventures and watching the rain, Denver's been working all sorts of magic in his shop. I love when this happens.
