Retired Trail Guy and a friend went to Mineral King in Winter. This week. Yes, winter is really happening this year!
Nice light on this cabin. People ask “How much snow?” The answer is “Depends on where you are.” Snow piles up or doesn’t pile up in different depths in different places. The best way to see how much is to check the Mineral King webcam. In the 2nd photo, taken toward Timber Gap, the striped stick is 10′ tall, and every stripe is 1′.

This is The Trackster. It is more reliable than a snowmobile. This is not Retired Trail Guy. It is Retired Mailman.
Retired Mailman is very tall, and he shoveled off this part of the roof.
Then he photographed Trail Guy, AKA Shoveler-on-the-Roof. Our cabin is over 100 years old, and it has survived many heavy winters. Still, it takes a load off our minds to take a load off its roof.
This is a neighboring cabin. The snow is “bridged”, so the weight isn’t as heavy on the roof.
And a view of Sawtooth on the way back down the road. It is the tiny point on the far right of the whiteness in the distance.

Wow! That’s a lot of snow on a roof! Thanks for sharing the winter photos of Mineral King, Jana. Fun to see it that way!
I’ll try to write you a note sometime soon. Got through my edits (and the editor accepted them all — whew!) and now I’m gearing up to go to Little Rock for a few days the end of next week. Time to see my grandbabies again — plus give K&S a chance to do something fun for Valentine’s Day 🙂
Thanks for checking in, Cheryl and I am so glad you got through the edits quickly. Have a great time with the twins!
… beautiful photos. Thank you for taking such good care of the cabin.
Thank you, Diane. It feels like an important responsibility, and all the credit goes to Michael.
