Happy New Year.

We get some of the last best sunsets out our windows.  Come visit and see for yourself!

One new addition last year is our loyal guard Moose (thank you very much Mary G.!)

Winter in West Glacier means I don't need a gym membership to get a workout.  I go shovel snow instead. The deck is easy to clear.  Just push it off over the stairs, and then ....

... use the snowblower to dispose of the pile.

Also clear off the cars and hand shovel around them.  This all starts before it is light out; a great way to watch the sun rise (except there is no sun on snowy mornings)

The fully cleared driveway, before heading over to clear our neighbor's.

Winter in West Glacier means Snow Shoe.  Sandy out in her new Mukluk boots and new snow shoes.  (The vacuum cleaner was not the only Christmas present I gave her!)

Out the door on to the golf course for either snow shoeing or skiing.  Amazing views surround us.

The cold air provides very clear views of Glacier in the winter. Mt. Vaught and Mt. Stanton on the right, and Longfellow with Paul Bunyan's cabin towards the left.

With the chimney gone, this is our first winter with no roofs leaks.  The snow slides off as designed.  It is actually a mild winter so far, not a lot of snow.

We discovered, much to our surprise, on our first Christmas up here in 2013 that the winters are better than the summers -- and summers here are incredibly amazing.

Come see for yourself.
