SUMMER IS ON IT'S
WAY!
How Much Snow?
Well although we are enjoying peak ski
conditions
in Eldorado Basin where you will find a five foot base with
16
inches of fresh powder for all your skiing enjoyment, here
around
the main ranch the snow is melting. We are enjoying
some
beautifully warm days. We have been out on a few trail
rides
on the still wooly horses. However, even they are
starting to
shed their warm winter coats in hopes that spring is now on
it's
way!
We are in the catalog! Here is
your chance
to bid on either our Two Week Beginner Guide Training
Program or a
Five Day (fully catered) Pack Horse Tour. If you have
the
winning bid you could enjoy either of these packages for
half
price! Log on to find out more details. Auction is
from March
5th to 14th, 2003.
