Winter Wonderland
Ski the slopes or enjoy a relaxing retreat fireside
As colder weather overtakes the mountains, the views change from the softness of leaves and ferns to the architectural wonder that is winter time. Call me crazy, but I love the winter in these hills. You can see the backbone of the mountains. The bare branches of the trees dusted in an early morning frost are starkly beautiful against a winter sky. I love the way the leaves crunch underfoot with a brittleness unique to winter, and the way your breath hangs in the air for an eternal moment. I love the little icicles that form along the edge of the stream. And nothing can keep me inside during the first snow of the season. Look up: the sky is dancing! And the late season snows - you know, the ones with the great big fat lazy flakes - create such a hush around you, that time stands still and the whole world is yours and yours alone...
