Hello! I wanted to post these pictures of me hiking with the “polar poodle” Claude. He loves the snow, sun and mountain living. It’s funny that your pets are unaware of what is happening in the world but are so aware of their immediate environment.
It’s been an interesting winter this year to say the least. We have had sub zero temperatures in November and December and in January the temps have reached 40 degrees on some days. It tries to snow every day and we may get a couple of inches at a time. We call this a ‘dusting.’ Regardless of mother natures whims, the ski resorts have made a ton of snow and people are skiing and riding everyday and having a blast.
Tourism is up from last year, real estate is up from last year, and interest rates are near historical lows. Financing is available for primary and second home properties.
