Playing with company and watching the winter days hurtle by

And we are four, at least temporarily. And we are having fun. As always... Lisa and Charles zipped on over from Santa Fe for a quick visit. Party on!

First time visit to Kochevars, the oldest bar in Crested Butte (1895 saloon and gaming hall), now redone with great revamped menu courtesy of recent owner Jason. That's Jason of Soupcon fine dining fame who's putting his magic touch on, let's be honest here, what was one of those places people spent all day glued to a barstool until the wee hours of the morn, stumbling out at closing. Great casual menu of which we had wings, fried clams, barbecue brisket, ribs, pulled pork, onion rings, and homemade mac n cheese. And we waddled out...

This was not a first, second, or even third time visit here. Third Bowl -Great ice cream as always. Lisa says bring back the black salt topping!

Interesting way to get to the nordic trails
Cross country skiing again. Mark definitely all cylinders go on winter sports of every kind. He's been snowshoeing, cross country and downhill. I have yet to go up the mountain as it takes me quite a while to gear up for that somewhat scary activity. In the meantime we were a bit shocked to find it
was only 0 degrees when we got to the trail. Our meteorologists have their off days in predictions especially in winter. Dressed for conditions thank goodness.

Definitely light on inches for snowfall in January so looking toward Feb for some bulk. Gotta have it to keep all seasons working well. I would like to order up the dates of the snowfall though, as Mark will be traveling in an out on business. Not so much fun to clear it all myself.
