If you can believe it, it is actually the 5th of December and the year of 2007 is almost over.  The mountain is finally open and it was actually some really good skiing last weekend.  9 runs is clearly not enough to support an entire town but it was good nonetheless. It’s really good if you can get on the slopes before 11 which is when the majortiy of the ski bums wake up around here, definitely a better chance to catch the fresh powder.

Christmas is on its way and the hoildays are upon us. I finally got a head start on the decorations in the house early this year so we’ll be able to enjoy them for the next couple weeks!! No tree yet but we’re working on it. We did a little snow shoeing in Medicine Bow and think we found our perfect tree for this year.  I need to say that I am morally against cutting down a perfectly good living thing for my own selfish enjoyment for 3 weeks and then discard this poor tree but apparenlty (from the park rangers point of view) the forests need to be thnned out around here so that there is room for all of them to grow and so that fires don’t wipe across the face of our forests.  So, I will believe them and agree to cutting one down this year but I will certainly do so with a sad heart.   

Stay tuned for some yummy Holiday recipes coming up during the next few weeks.
