Seasons Greetings & Happy New Year To All

Hello Readers

Well winter has finally arrived up this way and I am watching Harriet slide down our hill on her new toboggan, Lucy is out at Hidden Valley teaching skiing, I just finished shovelling off a patch of lake for what I hope will be a skating rink and we have guests staying down in cottage #1 who have just finished spending the afternoon outside enjoying the white stuff.

I just want to say Happy New Year to all our friends and wish you all the best for 2012.

Till next time

Winter Update

Well we have a cm or two on the ground and the lake is now frozen over, however we are in for some warmer temps, so who knows if it will stick around. We can only hope so! I am dying for a ski, snowshoe, skate ......

The Valley opened up today with 1 chair and one run, a valiant effort when you consider mother nature's contribution of near zero.

Till next time

Snow, Snow and more Snow

Well it finally appears winter has arrived. It snowed most of yesterday and is snowing today. Our property is once again blanketed in white from head to toe and lets hope it stays that way for the next few months! I love winter, although by the time mid March comes around I am ready for some green grass and open water.

Had planned on skiing this weekend, however Mother Nature is not cooperating and so Hidden Valley Highlands has delayed their opening weekend until Dec 17/18. Fingers crossed we will be sliding in just over 7 days!

Till next time

John
