Spring in the Rockies


Spring has arrived and there are plenty of snow drops around, although not the flowering kind that are popular in the UK!!! We have been enjoying spring here and are still managing to get out and enjoy spring xc skiing and some snow shoeing. The milder temperatures of spring make it easier for Heather to enjoy and she has been keen to try xc skiing. Dad pulls Heather in the Pulk and I pull Finlay in the chariot, we always take Heather's skis as she often asks for a go while we are half way round.
Spring in the UK is when things start to grow and spring from the earth the start of new life... Here it means longer warmer days to do more fun things in the snow!!! However we have seen new buds on the bushes and the birds are chirping in the trees again. One of my friends did say that she saw a Robin red breast in her trees!!! But the sign of new growth is definatley here.
