Hello all you WildSnowers! The Dawsons are having a nice family Christmas at our mountain cabin, high in Colorado. A monster storm kicked in last night, windy, probably at least 16 inches of new fluff up high and a good 12 on our storm board. We’re cooking up some bacon and eggs, getting amped for trail breaking and perhaps a few powder blasts to the face, skiing the safe zones.
The three of us (Lou, Lisa, Louie) wish you all a wonderful holiday, and a safe New Year filled with success in all turns of life — everything from the physical to the spiritual.
