down from the mountains

"This is how you cross country ski," said Jim & Rita.


 "Here is where we will live."


"This is what we will do."


"Look around."

  1. I am so much more of a beach bum than a snow bunny, but I think that's got more to do with a certain wimpiness in the face of the cold and not a respect for the loveliness of winter. Winter camping or yurting is so fierce I think. Looks like a beautiful adventure and lovely way to start your year. Have a happy one.

  2. Looks like a wonderful time! Especially coming home from all the crosscountry skiing to that warm stove and a beverage...

  3. You and Michael look right at home on skis. You should have seen Dad and me at the Balsams 20 years ago, struggling.

    The scene looks idyllic, but it did remind me to go turn up the heat and admire you from afar. Lots of Love, Mum

  4. A kind of paradise! So glad the knee healed in time for this idyll. The light looks intoxicating, but I'm sure that was the only such feature ... right. Were there cocktails with snow and icicles? Wonder if skiing will become a new passion for you two.
