We haven't had the chance to snow shoe into the cabin this year. Even with a storm coming in on Saturday we headed out Friday afternoon to stay the night. It was a beautiful afternoon. The sun was out and no wind. It is 1/2 mile from the road where we park the truck. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to snow shoe. We had to get a picture of the deck. The snow is almost up to the door handles. Duchesne has had 213 percent snow pack. That was one of the reason's for heading out to get the snow off the decks.
I'm standing over the fence. All you can see is the top 5 inches. Most of our trees are buried under all the snow. And it's hard to tell where the road is with all the snow.
We arrived at the cabin around 5:00 and happily the temperature inside was a warm 41 degrees. By about 8:00 that night we had the inside temperature up to 55 degrees. Which isn't too bad considering many times it's below 0 up there.
We read, ate, watched movies and played games that night. Very relaxing and thanks to an electric blanket we slept nice and cozy. The next morning a storm was blowning in and it was windy. Here Steve is getting the snow off our deck. I felt bad for him and helped him do the other deck. The wind can really whip off that deck so as we would throw a shovel full of snow half of it would blow back into our face. Luckily with all the lifting and shoveling we stayed warm.
Even with the bad weather we had to go for a walk.
Most of the river was frozen over. I tried to get Steve to go set on that log but he wouldn't go for it. We crossed over a frozen part of it and headed into a blizzard. Okay it wasn't really a blizzard but hard to look up with the snow blowing into your face. Finally we gave up and
headed back. It was much nicer going with the wind on your back instead of your face. I wasn't thrilled about going up this weekend because of the cold but we had a great time and stayed pretty warm. Only a few more months and we will open it back up. I don't think I will ever get tired of going up there.

Wow, that's a lot of snow! It's great you can enjoy your cabin and the beautiful surroundings every season - although summer is the best! We need to see how ours is doing too - one of these days when I can brave the cold!
You are two little teenagers having a good ol time, aren't you. No kids, no homework...no fighting...A full night's sleep. (except for Leisa) Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it.
I love you cabin posts.
