5-6 inches of Fresh Powder

On the way up to the TOP of Timberlee

From the base of Timberlee to the top is a 500 ft. vert.

but not sure how far it is the way we went!
My buddy and I

View from the bottom... let me tell you

climbing that gives a whole new meaning

to stair master

View from the top

So worth it

Our hike today was up the face of Timberlee...

Whew

did I mention that snowshoeing, sunshine

are my therapy!

I don't remember a winter in years

where we have had snow on the ground

for so long and so much sun...

Very Cold but so bright...

I gotta wear shades

and thats okay!

Almost Home

Even after all that running he is not tired!!

Another Sunny but Artic Day

Today was another COLD one here in the North

but ventured out for a shoe anyways...

We were very entertained by three "doos" for

about a half hour

They put on quite a show for us

One even managed to bury his sled
Bruce enjoyed the shoe too

Some say cold is a relative thing

I would say its relatively COLD out there!!!

But Blaze and I went snow shoeing anyhow....

the sun was beautiful on the snow

the cold was bitter on my face!

Mount Hillside got quite a work out today

Dude

Gnarly

Leap Frog?
Zach Dorvenon and Dan Mills

The hill out front made for some awesome boarding this afternoon

Some of our neighbors friends came over... there is no lack for things

Thought envoking...

The reason a dog has so many friends is because

he wags his tail instead of his tongue

SNOW MUCH FUN!!

We are getting the most out of our winter days

With record breaking snow fall

our winter is like the

GOOD OLD DAYS"

Our tubing hills are getting well packed down and fast

The snowmobile trails lead right to here from there

and right from there to here...

The snowshoeing is terrific

The views are fantastic

and the trails seem endless

So if you are craving fun in the snow...

"pack up the babies and grab the old ladies"

and come on up ;-)

Weekend - SNOWFUN

We stopped at Timberlee for Pizza -

Even Blaze got in on the action

Before every ride is a great discussion

So much snow and blowing and drifting

a snow snake...

Thankgoodness for the FORD
