Thanks, I know Barb really enjoys the bunk bed talk. I am glad we are making this a day of kindness!!!

@saltyant in a pinch sometimes there’s a pullout couch…I turned the heat on in the hotel house and now it’s hot like your sister.  I wish I had an extra buddy pass for her.

The grilled steeze does not share lodging!  You can book a 8 bed 5 bath mansion and the Steeze will still stay alone.

At the house my family rented at big boulder lake, I didn’t even have my own bedroom..and had to use bathroom next to my parents bedroom and after three 9% beers and a margarita, had one of those long pees and woke the dogs up and they were barking.  I like being by myself unless a booty call…

I feel like we will get shafted in January either way... But if it is less pronounced, I'll take that I guess...

I like your optimism.

It's too bad, but of course you're saving your pass for @Ski2Live Live2Ski

Alta is delayed on opening a week or two so shouldn't feel too bad as we may open the same time they do

Solitude is open.  Go there.

We have been trying since May to get a permit for a detached garage here. The powers that be just kept working against us. We finally got a permit last Thursday and my excavator was here Friday to begin work. 
 

Still have to finish excavating then pour some involved concrete as nothing here is flat terrain. As much as I want snow (and it is forecasted this weekend), this Braveheart clip sums up how I feel about snow holding off just a tad longer so we can get this done.

How large of a garage are you building?  

[Barb]

I think this was discussed. 25 x 30, all for my husband. He needs his man space

Need a space to keep all our toys. Kayaks, paddles, fishing gear, archery, bikes, skis, Jeep tow and recovery gear, hiking packs and boots. Any plans for a whole house generator? That was a purchase we never regretted.

So is that two cars plus a workshop?  Actually the garage part of my shop is about that size.  That’s prob almost as big as your house.

So this changed for the better for sure.  

right now it doesnt look like a huge window this weekend, but at least things are moving in the right direction.

Low temps look pretty good, but unfortunately humidity levels look to be too high...

For this coming weekend, sure it would be neat to see them make some snow, but yeah, humidity looks high, and it doesnt look like it stays at like 27-28 degrees for very long each night.  lets at least hope that cold around thanksgiving sticks around.

got about 4” of very wet heavy snow so far. It was dumping earlier. My power has gone off and on about 6 times so far today. My well pump didn’t reset and I had to dig out the manual and reset it. First time I have had to do that. But I do have 15 gallons of emergency “prepper” water in the closet just in case.

Ugh!  Power outage and well pump aren't a good mix.
Do you have a generator big enough to run the well pump? 
If no, might consider one.  However, the other problem is fueling it.   Do you have propane?

What a beautiful morning…crisp, cold, sunny. Feels like skiing. I love it.

We looked into a whole house generator and they are insanely expensive. Something about high altitude makes them more expensive. We have a gas generator and we always keep 5-8 gallons of gas handy. And yes, propane. Power outages are a very regular occurrence here. But yesterday was unusual. It’s a learning curve living here for sure….

I had to wear a fleece to work today and had frost on my car.  I almost used the ice scrapper you gave me but just let the heat do it’s thing.  It feels like it’s almost thanksgiving.

Maybe next season it will be Spring mountain with their giant snow cone machine. 

Looks like the Spring Mt snow cone machine was busy as well:
