New snow on Mount Elbert this morning and beautiful sunshine here at 9700' I just love our mountains in the spring. Hope you'll visit soon.

Spring?

Yesterday was a bit cloudy in the morning with the clouds hanging low on the mountains. It may look wintry but this pussy willow is confident the warm weather is just around the next week. The ice out on Twin Lakes is nearly complete usually signaling great fishing for those big Lake Trout.
Here at the lodge we are busy working on the cabins, fixing those inevitable things that break, painting and sprucing up for the summer so all will be beautiful when you visit next.
Two of our guests were up on South Elbert skiing some bowls yesterday, they said they had a fabulous ski day. We won't have many of those(fabulous ski days) left and soon it will be fabulous hiking days.

Back again.

April is nearly here already and it has been months since I have written; gallivanting around does tend to inhibit getting things done on the home front.

We have enjoyed a nice winter this year with an average amount of snow and cold. Of course after last year this feel like a balmy winter. March is typically our snowiest month but this year we haven't had any to speak of. I noticed that our running average for water year to date has dropped below average while our snow pack is still above. An interesting anomaly. I assume that's telling us that the snow we received this winter was drier than normal, the light fluffy powder that skiers are so fond of. If you would like to see how our snow levels are progressing the address below will take you to the Brumley sontel site data. Click on daily graph under current water year and you can see how our snow has come in this year. The Brumley monitoring site is just up the pass from us.

Ringing out the old.

Wishing everyone a prosperous and peaceful new year on this sunny beautiful last day of 2008.
