Random shots around the lodge

Here are some random shots that Jen has taken recently around the lodge.

Here's a photo of the lodge after cleaning up a snowfall. You

may have seen it before, but I think it's a great shot!

I have been trying to melt snow around the sides of the shop

to allow the roof to shed. The lows overnight turned out to be

below the forecast, so we ended up with a lot of ice instead of

clearing snow.

Icicles formed from overspray while trying to melt snow.

Checking out the hydro intake. This is about a 30-minute

showshoe from the lodge and we have to climb some pretty

steep, icy slopes to get here. Sometimes an avalanche will

cover the intake and we have to climb up to clear it with an

ice axe. It's a beautiful hike--following snow covered Sadie Creek.

These are some of the crew cabins used by the guides and

other staff who work at the lodge in the summer.

Jen liked the geometrical patterns of the ice as it broke up

during a recent cold spell. Our neighbor John has a very

colorful skiff!

Here is Jen shooting through the house from the front deck

while I am snowblowing behind the lodge. Then there is

the reflection of the bay and mountains behind her in the

window just to give the photo another dimension.
