Better Late Than Never?

So, it has definitely been a while since we've updated, so here are a few words on what's going on. The weather has been practically tropical with highs near or around 0ÂșC for a couple of weeks now. There is a good base of snow on the ground which was actually sticky enough to build a snowman by rolling it in the time-honoured way. How unusual is that for the Yukon you ask? Unusual enough that a neighbourhood kid asked "how did you do that?". He had never made a snowman before.

We finally test drove our new cross-country skis along the nearby trails and had a great time. We could not have ask for better conditions, even if the terrain is a bit hilly for those of us who are a bit out of practice.

Another nice bonus was the live Dungeness crab for sale on 4th Ave. Fresh caught crab is a great winter treat no matter where you live so we feasted and froze our fill.

That's all for now. Enjoy the pictures!
