Snowmageddon - The Aftermath

Sunday morning we woke up to nearly TWENTY inches of fresh snow! 

There's nothing quite as visually spectacular as fresh mountain snow. It's like living in a beautiful snow globe. 

And the sunrises...they're incredible. 

For Glogirly, this all means lots and lots of skiing. 

This is the view from her favorite run, called Muleshoe, at the local ski area. In just a couple of days she's headed to Breckenridge, CO to ski with one of her friends from the Women's Ski Program. 

So what about that DRIVEWAY???

This volume of snow means we have to call in the professionals for our driveway. 

So far so good...not a single Fed Ex, UPS, or tow truck has spent the night stuck on it. But this is Colorado and there's likely to be plenty more snow yet this season! 

The fresh snow often brings out our local deer neighbors. In fact we had a group of seven frolicking up our road. A few of them even laid down in the snow for a rest.
