After an adventurous drive last night through the last powerful hours of the more than 5 days of constant snowfall, 1 fallen tree across the highway, and a good night sleep; this is what we woke up to find this morning…. more than five glorious feet of fluffy clean magnificent snow and bright crisp blue skies. There are few places on that planet I love more than Hume Lake, not just because I grew up here and have some of my fondest memories here, but because of the incredible beauty of these mountains. Storms like this one only visit these mountains once every ten years so I couldn’t pass up a 7am wake-up for photos like this… enjoy!

Here are some photos of one of the most beautiful places on earth! I took these last weekend while we were in Oregon visiting family for my Grandfather’s celebration ceremony.
