Hard to believe it was Hope Lodge time again so soon, but it was. It rained most every day with a couple inches of snowfall thrown in, but it was still a great time. The ski area snow was pretty soft most days (though very heavy and hard to turn in places). Each day offered very different conditions from the next keeping things interesting.

Our usual “hope lodge friends” joined us again this year as well as many more folks from as far as Lake Tahoe for the second half of the week. It’s really neat to watch the kids grow up together and have so much fun too. The sledding run was pretty slick, but that didn’t stop many from using it.
