Winter is holding tight here. Temps between about 20 and 40. Cross country skiing is still excellent on a couple trails after we got 6 inches of snow last week. This weekend is sunny, mostly clear, a little north wind, and keeping things nice – not too cold. Got some snowshoes on Craigslist so I can get to the early season hooters this year. The male blue grouse will start hooting for their females in the coming weeks.
