So as we approach the middle of August its time to recap on the winter so far. Its been fun for sure with some great days up the hill and good, busy times down at the lodge. We have had our friend Kate helping us out for the last 6 weeks taking some of the load of the cleaning schedule and keeping our moral up with her funniness and banter. We bought a new car. Subaru Forester which is awesome and fast and flys up the hill on rails. Almost lost it in the snow this day though.

Rime on Erica at Cardies on a cold and damp day.
Going up or down?

A much better day with some freshies still off piste. Kate and Erica.
One of our guests caught some trout and we had trout benedict fot breakfast.

Louie sleeps like a baby in Kate's lap.
He's a local now cus he's got a Chop tee.
Avalanche rescue doggy. D-fa.com if you want a jacket for your pooch.

But spring is in the air with some mild days down here and rain on the skifields.
