Looks like you had a great day. Perfect day for pictures. I bet you guys were burning some calories trekking through the snow without snowshoes! Thanks for sharing.

I'm way over due to get out in the snow. My Bronco hasn't even been out of the garage for this snow event, not to mention it's full to the roof of crap from my other house. Maybe the pieces will fall into place for next weekend. Looks like we should be getting snow in the mountains all week.
