winter

Here are just a few pictures from Winterfest 2017 at Lolo Hot Springs today. I skijored for my first time and also pulled a rider!

Friday. It is really cool that people can use that and also that people that do use it take care of it.

I love to fly fish all year round and in the winter there is more then one worry and woe to think about while winter fly fishing. You have ice and cold water, changing conditions and bad weather, but there is one woe that stands out to me as the hardest one to deal with.

Last night I did my very first practice for snowmobile skijoring that I will be doing this Sunday.

A Spokane family has built what just may be the largest Olaf snowman ever created.

To quote Ralphie's mom in A Christmas Story, "those icicles have been known to KILL people!"

Winter Break at the Ranch Club was held over the weekend and I managed to grab some great Facebook live of the day. From Animal Wonders, the snake and skunk to the horse drawn carriage rides.

Weather.com recently released some maps and info on the snowfall broken down by region. They have the most snowfall for each state as well. Where do you think gets the most snowfall for us?

I can not wait for the video but yesterday we went out and did some sledding! I forget how much work it is and how in the world did I do it for hours as a kid.

If you have never heard of skijoring it is an interesting spectator event to be had. I need some help, it looks like for the first year I will be skijoring, which is being strapped behind something and being pulled through an obstacle course.

A lot of folks are hitting the slopes and we are getting a bit of snow so the time isn't bad to get in some turns. Plus we do have families and visitors taking in ski destinations for Christmas.

There is no denying that winter can be really stressful but there are some really great things about winter.
