Sailboat came out of Flathead Lake today for the winter. The lake gets drawn down in preparation for next Spring's snow melt, so the 30' boat is lifted out and put on blocks for the winter. Always a little sad to see another sailing season pass, but looking forward to skiing!!

Yes, it is a Sunday, but it was also a work day with an open house and checking out 2 renters in our townhomes. A sunny, hot day until the thunder storms rolled in this afternoon. We need rain on our hay fields. They are behind schedule so for once will … (0 comments)

     A happy and sad day. Hit the sunny slopes for the final day of skiing on Whitefish Mountain. Awesome! The 2 feet in the last 1.5 weeks made closing day great, better than 2 weeks ago. By this afternoon I am sure it was mushy. Put the season pass to … (0 comments)

     Stimulus $ to MT. The Dept. of Transportation is getting a chunk of money from this program. State Legislature is in session and figuring out how it will be spent exactly. One thing for sure, the Kalispell by-pass is not "shovel ready" so it cannot benefit from the funds. 57% … (0 comments)

   Okay, I am thinking about skiing a lot lately. Went up Tuesday and kept saying "1 more run" each time. It was awesome! No one there, sun peeked out, groomed powder (my favorite). Had a great lunch at Hellroaring Saloon. Made ski runs on the backside, chair 2, and Hellroaring … (0 comments)
