Sunday Afternoon January Ski

Mountain Meadows XC is such a gift to us by our local countryman.

New Year Winter Storm

January 1st was a gorgeous day of snow and the mountain view against a blue sky followed by the moving in of a heavy winter storm. By Monday morning, the snow was burying the valley and cutting power for many hours of the day. Peaking through my kitchen window panes!

Winter Snow for the New Year 2022

The day after Christmas, the valley was cloaked in the most marvelous white. There is nothing whiter than snow.
Local dairyman groomed his mountain meadows for a first ski of the season. The week between Christmas and New Year, we closed our clinic hours, breakfasted, skiied, and spent a bit of extra time with family.
