Spring... winter... spring ... winter

The Foothills are living up to their reputation of teasing us with very nice weather alternated with heavy snow! Yesterday, we played outside in the sunshine and even had a day of 21 degrees last week. Today, the temperature will drop to -8 and the snow will start, and continue for a week or so. Perhaps an indicator that we need to get out in the mountains one more time to enjoy the powder. We spent a weekend down at Iris and Neil's cabin in the Porcupine Hills and skiied the last weekend at Castle - a variety of snow - everything from light powder up top to heavy mashed spuds in the middle, to slushy slurpee at the bottom. James mastered 'Tumbleweed', a run which defeated him at the beginning of the season.

We'll post some photos of the snow, when it arrives...
