Things are starting to get back to normal finally. Getting two months of snow in about two weeks just buried everyone. Our county services and business services were short-staffed anyway and often tempers ran short. But locals mainly stayed home and got down to...
Wow, the storms have not disappointed! We got two months of snow in less than two weeks and it’s still coming. The words of the day are PATIENCE and KINDNESS. Grand County is short of workers anyway and whoever is out there is trying their best to get a job done. ...

Whee! I was gliding almost effortlessly across the top of the snow down a gentle hill in the meadow below our house with the dog chasing at my heels! Who needs trails? I love this time of year – Crust skiing is here… March was one of the snowiest on record, leading...
