Fall Oreo

We are into winter now but I ran into this picture of Oreo while looking through my pics and thought you might enjoy it as much as I do. While not real obvious the larch have turned color on the background peaks Liberty Bell. Definitely a great time of the year to be out.

Game On!

What starts a ski season sooner than 6 inches of fresh snow? Oreo wearing his Goretex suit for the fresh wet snow.

3rd Ski Season

Started the 3rd ski season today. First one is in the fall before the locals start grooming, the second one is when the locals start grooming and the 3rd one is after they stop grooming. Nice warm day on corn snow, started out sunny then started raining after we got back in the rig.

A Beautiful Day in the Hood

We like to take a cross country ski trip every year someplace we've never been before. This year Oreo and I went to Mount Hood right after a big snow storm that lasted several days while we were there. Fresh powder snow every day. Can you beat that? Here is Oreo on the one sunny day of the week we spent in the Hood.

March! Calendar Picture

Here are the boys in the SE Oregon Desert country on a March week long car camping and hiking trip. Its pretty unusual to catch them both together with their faces up and smiling.

Mr. February 2023

Kimchi (Tommy) on a ridge above the Methow Valley backdropped by North Gardner Peak. This area is teaming with rattlesnakes in the summer so we have to go early in the year so we don't encounter them. Some years with high snow levels we might not be able to make it to this ridge.

Hard Snow

Lots of dry powder, then it warmed up, rained and now lots of hard snow. The dogs love it, us skiers not so much. But who cares about us when the dogs are having so much fun, eh?
