We've had two good sized snows since I last posted last. Last Thursday night we got about six inches and then on Monday night about ten inches. Yesterday dawned bright and crisp, such a difference from Monday's dark gloom and perfect for a pup who loves the snow. Turbo and I hiked up to the park where we found a few other hikers, some sledders, and several dogs who played with Turbo, running back and forth like crazy dogs.
Ben had gone rock climbing in the gym --yes, the fellows are back to their regular indoor rock climbing sessions! -- and missed the morning romp in the park. So later in the afternoon he suggested we ride up Flagstaff Mountain and do the beginning of the West Ridge Trail which leads up to Green Mountain. We enjoyed the scenic ride up the mountain and managed to park our car on the snowy shoulder. The trail runs along the edge of a hillside and provides fantastic views towards the northwest. Good thing it was so pretty as it was slow going walking in the uneven and deep snow and Turbo had to stay on leash, which is never easy on a narrow trail. We ran into a few people on snow shoes and thanked them for breaking the trail.
It's snowing again today but it's not sticking, and our nine inches melted down to about four or five in yesterday's sunshine. We're keeping the snow shovels handy; many a Mother's Day has seen a late snowfall!
