The Only Dry Place in WA

Ed & Julie kindly invited us to Julie's folks place in the North Cascades. The forecast was calling for rain everywhere, even in the mountains. A bit depressed, we hit the road and drove up to their cozy place overlooking the Methow Valley.

Ed Sr. and Kitty were gracious hosts and we had such a great time eating, giggling, socializing, etc.

We skied at Loup Loup on Saturday and it was the only ski area in the whole state where it wasn't raining. So although the snow wasn't powder, we weren't complaining...it wasn't solid ice or slush and we skied several fun runs without a single lift line. I can only imagine we would've been ringing out our gloves back home.
