Snow on the mountains

… but not yet on the ranch - still very green

Under Idaho Peak, the snow was halfway down the mountain - it had been falling as we drove Douglas, Molly, and Ellen to the plane the afternoon before:

New Denver - main street

Diana and I walked the Mori Trail, along below the New Denver main street and around Bigelow Bay: 

view west, across the Lake - tons of snow

view north, up the Lake - no snow

view south, down the Lake - half snow

One more day and much snow had melted.  Just the top of Idaho Peak was still white:

Even with no snow on the ranch, it is nippy.  The heat stove has been getting good use in the old ranch house, and Doco and I are snug.
