It's been a classic Christmas

Kicked off by the Nor'easter December 19th, this holiday season has been blessed with Canaan's full winter conditions. A big lake-effect snow before Christmas, an insane ice storm with 26-mile an hour average winds and 45mpg gusts, a couple of warm days that let the snow become mist...and now the mother of all lake effects is burying us in 2ft of powder while the temps hold in the high single digits...Yes it's the real deal in Canaan this holiday.

Skiing today is limited to those who are either immune to the temps or are out of days to choose from. Wind chill is 5 degrees on the valley floor here, so it is of course out of control up on top.

Since listing Rock'n'Laurel (in Timberline) for vacation rental, we already have our first guest scheduled. Two more pioneers of mountain luxe will be getting the 20% promo discount.
