From the Ghost Town Guest House …
Greetings on a cool and snowy April morning. Warmer days have melted the snowpack on CR 162 while unmaintained back-roads remain closed until late May. Snowmobiling was terrific this winter. A heavy and wet three feet of snow in January provided a good base for winter sports, including snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and skiing. Chuck spent six days shoveling and blowing the unexpectedly wet January snow off our driveway while I shoveled and swept all three decks. We’ve had a total of 12 feet of snow in town this winter and double that amount on the passes.
We stayed warm and cozy and delighted in welcoming winter adventurers to the Guest House. After a day playing in the snow, guests often drove down valley to soak in the geothermal hot springs at Mt. Princeton Resort. Or they filled their claw-foot tub with hot water and relaxed in the comfort of their private bathroom.
Lively supper conversations kept guests lingering around the table. An extensive collection of DVDs enticed guests to settle comfortably on the Continental room’s couch for a movie night complete with popcorn. All in all, it’s been a great winter for us and for many of you.
