Changing of the Leaves

It's one of those great times of year when the scenery up here is just breathtaking. The photos don't do it justice, but surrounded by mountains which are covered in trees, even a trip out for lunch has an amazing backdrop. With the colours changing daily it is a great time of year to be here.

And knowing the snow isn't far away is another reason to get excited.

First Snow

So it's been a long, hot summer but thankfully we've had the river there when we need to cool off, and it's been a life-saver. The cooler weather recently has been a pleasant relief though the jackets and beanies have started coming out in the last few days. This morning we woke to the first dusting of the season.



The long range forecast is looking reasonably promising with December slightly colder than average with plenty of precipitation. So here's hoping that means an early start to the 2010-11 season. Fingers crossed.
