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.
