my nod to winter

Since we are planning on avoiding winter by being in the southern hemisphere for most of it, when Rolfe and Kristen invited us to go backcountry skiing, we figured that we might as well get a little winter in. A little winter - hah! We left Durango under sunny blue skies; as soon as we left pavement in La Plata Canyon it started snowing, and we skied up to the ridge and back down in - okay, not a blizzard, but definitely a snowstorm.

And then we drove back to town and it was sunny and warm and beautiful.

I sort of wish winter could always be nicely self-contained in the canyons and mountains, that we could choose to visit winter if we wanted to, but never would have to shovel the walk or knock icicles off the eaves or scrape the windshield. But then I wake up to the beauty of a winter's day and, you know, I kind of like winter. Which thought is not going to keep me from getting on that plane next week.
