Winter weekends in the Cascades...

We had some friends join us at Poofy's over the MLK long weekend. Perfect opportunity to check out the scenery around Plain.

 Pretty pictures at Fish Lake.

 Ice fishing anyone?

The shack at Fish Lake.

Just off the trail looking over the Chiwawa River, one of our favorites in any season.

We did a little snowshoeing for this lovely view of Lake Wenatchee.

Chilling out before the boys snowboard down.

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

My routine of late is to wake up,  look outside and notice the clean fresh new snow.

Next, I groggily check the Stevens Pass snow report on my phone. Then I stumble into the shower. Feeling more alive, I shake the kiddos awake while broadcasting the new fresh that fell. Today, it was another 14 inches. This number is key to getting the kids to move. After slapping all our gear together, we roll outside and get to work loading the boards, and clearing off the car.

Then we cruise to Stevens Pass, and for the first few runs, we catch some low hanging fruit powder.

As the day passes, and the in bounds gets tracked, we do a little hike, and the fresh tracks start all over again.

Life is good.

Book your stay at Poofy's Paradise on VRBO or AirBnB.
