By late June, the mountains were receiving consistent snowfall above 1,500 meters every few days. In lower elevations like near our house, it was cool at night, but sunny and in the 60's by day and snow-free.
In the first week of July, we received our first snowfall in town.
We hadn't seen snow in a year and a half, so it was pretty exciting.
Happy Fourth of July!! On this big day, when back home we're often dressed in shorts and T-shirts, enjoying summer in Montana, here we had our first day on skis! The roads in town were slippery enough so that the schools were closed, so the kids had a special day off.
This ski center has just 4 kilometers of trails, but the setting is beautiful.
And the warming hut has great food and an inviting fireplace!
