It was one of those moments when you really regret that you don't own a video recorder.
New snow fell during the night, coating everything in that beautiful blanket of white. It wasn't really a good consistency for cross country skiing, but my late husband, Shannon, and I were too eager to try out my new skis to wait for better conditions. We loaded up the gear and the dogs, Iger and Freida, and headed out to the mountains.
