Oct 04, 2009 6" of snow the 1st week of October!!
Wow! Hope this is a glimpse of things to come!! We are 15 minutes away from the ski lift at Heavenly Valley and an early ski season would be great....of course, I have to pick it up ALOT to ski with my granddaughter, Maddi. She started skiing black diamond runs at 5 years old...even moguls...I don't do moguls...maybe a very easy black, if I get in better shape!!
But snow does have its issues. We came home after our horses showed at CDS championship...but, our trainer had a horse to ride today! The roads between here and there should be clear this afternoon...but that last couple of miles?? Not sure what she's going to do..It should definitely clear before we go to the keuring and show on Wednesday... Mommas and babies are in because they don't have their winter coats yet...they are just starting to come in. decisions, decisions. It's just too wet out there to put them out during the day...We do keep the barn wide open during the day and open some at night so they can adjust gradually. We went from highs of 94 to lows of 24 in 3 days, so big transition.
Of course we need to make a snowman!!
