Mission Ridge

March is typically a great month for snow here in the PNW and this year seems to be living up to that tradition. Thad and I took a hike out to Bowl 4 yesterday to find some left-overs from the Thursday powder hounds and ended up scored big.

G'night Wenatchee

The high pressure system sitting over Wenatchee had created some beautiful sunsets lately.

Sea of fog

I woke up last week and found clear skies around the house but Wenatchee proper was hidden under the fog. I liked how the lights of town illuminated the fog, giving it a mystic feeling.

Happy New Year!

Maybe my first resolution should be to update this page more often? After surviving the holiday period coupled with a move into a new home I feel like I'm ready to focus again. We were treated with a gorgeous winter morning the other day and I took a few photos around the area as well as a real estate shoot for a Realtor of Kahler Glen at Lake Wenatchee.

I just received a copy of the North Central Home Builders Association 'Home Tour' booklet yesterday and I gotta say, I'm really happy with how the cover is looking! This is my second year as their photographer and it looks like another solid line-up of homes for the tour this weekend. A big thank you to Lindsey Shultz and the NCHBA for their continued support!

Signs of spring

After several dark, grey months of winter spring has emerged and brought a plethora of color to NCW. As I've been out shooting real estate photos I couldn't help but notice some beautiful scenics; enjoy!

Spring

I was out on the White River Road just beyond Lake Wenatchee on Monday and it finally feels like spring is going to make a run at it. By noon it was 58* and the sun felt great. This cool meadow was across from a home I was shooting; maybe a trip back in the summer and fall is in order.

Wenatchee winter

Following the snow that visited us here in the Wenatchee Valley, I took a quick splitboard tour up to Dry Gulch to check conditions and snap a few photos on January 23rd. Good thing too as the freezing rain came the next day!

La Nina must have slept in because she's late to the party. Skiing in the PNW has been better than many areas around the country but still unseasonable dry, especially give the early predictions. It looks like we may finally be on track to kick winter into gear and pow hounds everywhere are waxing up and getting ready. Mission Ridge has been a lot of fun lately as more of the mountain has finally opened up; Windy ridge, Microwave and Bowl 4 have been tasty. But some of the best elements of Mission are the lack of crowds and amazing views.

Solstice sunrise

Happy winter solstice! From my house the sun didn't break the horizon until a couple of minutes before 8 this morning. And now that it's officially winter can someone tell La Nina she's running late for her appointment in the PNW??
