This picture is for you Karen. We have this much snow and we still have school. We are definitely having a nice winter wonderland kind of winter this year! I love it! I am sure Logan has a lot more and this is how much there is in Ephraim. It is going to snow again! Tonight after midnight(Saturday) and snow all day Sunday and Monday. The mountains are supposed to get another 1-3 feet and down here possibly 6 more inches. I don't know. Hopefully a lot.
I went snowshoeing again today and it was sure a bright sunny day, I should of wore sunglasses. It was very warm, about 45 degrees and warmer in the mountains(inversion). This picture is the telemark ski/snowshoe trail Cory Gordon and I walk on. He skis on it every Tuesday or Thursday and I hike on every Saturday. He made up a new trail for us to hike on from Taylor's Flat up to the start of the Backbone Trail and up along the steep Backbone Trail which ends up at Virgil Ash's mongolian tent at the top(by the A-frame house on Bald Mountain) so we don't have to hike on the Willow Creek Trail at all because it is usually packed down by snowmobilers.
The Backbone Trail. It is very steep but I am getting better and faster on it every trip I go up there. That brown thing in the middle of the trail is Duke. He loves to play in the snow. Duke and Sadie had soooo much fun today and it is what every dog dreams about everyday. I think I spoil them too much, but hey, they are happy and their attitude is good.
Every week I see more and more snow on Virgil Ash's tent. There's almost 3.5 feet on the ground and that is pretty good for someplace that low(7,224 feet). This trail Cory Gordon made is a perfect trail to go on. It's only in my backyard, good snow, good climb, I can take the dogs, no one there, and beautiful. I start at 6,155 ft and finish the hike at 7,224 ft, so it's a great climb. I think I will hike this trail every Saturday all through February and then get on the bike again in March. Maybe some Saturdays I will go up to Fairview Skyline and snowshoe too. Even in the springtime when there is still snow up there in March and April.

You are right about it being warm yesterday! Brayden was playing outside in his t-shirt. It felt so good!
The pictures are beautiful when you are looking at them from inside of your 70 degree house!!!! I love the look of snow but I really do hate the cold. I do know from skiing that it is nice to ski (or I assume snowshoe) in the cold weather because you get warm bu moving so much but it sure does look cold to me. Duke looks like he was having fun! I am glad you take them out to get some exercise and have some fun outdoors!
Actually Karen, it was smoking hot! I was sweating like a pig and I went up the mountain only in my t-shirt(I took my fleece jacket off) I was sooooo hot that I thought I was going to die! I felt a lot better walking down. The inversion in the mountains really make a difference. I bet it was 60 degrees plus you sweating and also the sun shining at you toasting you up. If you live in Utah, after you're used to all that cold, then when it gets 20 degrees warmer, it feels like summer. Next time, I am wearing shorts and taking my shirt off.
Just like in those pictures of skiers skiing in their swimsuits!
We haven't had much of an inversion here this year. I didn't think Ephraim got them too bad either. It's usually just the Salt Lake valley and Logan area that are the bad places for the inversions. I guess I haven't lived there for a while though. It was nice and warm here again today too. It gave us a good chance to work in our trailer.
Hey Dan,
We just cut off again on the phone?! I guess this is a better way to commuicate! I am glad you are doing well and you have such a great job. We are excited about Rob's office and yes, all the cabinets are pre-fab, I guess because you order all of them as part as the dental office operating room package (in a way) It is all ordered from the same company. I hope to talk to you soon.

Man, I will not miss the snow!!
I just got back from a ride up Farmington Canyon and I went all the way up, but the gate was still closed at the top!!
