Hello Winter!
Snowy trees in the San Juan Mountains in November.

Miriam skis a lovely glade.
Miriam and Jason are all smiles after an early season powder day.
The relentless rainstorms of October led to historic flooding in Durango and Pagosa Springs, but on the bright side, up high in the mountains it dumped several feet of powder! Yesterday was the first bluebird day after the storm, and I joined Miriam and Jason for my first day on the splitboard of the season. Oh how I love winter!!! It felt great to be out in the snow and carving turns again. If these El Niño fueled storms keep rolling through the southwest this winter, it could be a stellar season.
