Oh, my god. Gorgeous! What I wouldn’t give to have my kayak there to explore those lakes (when the weather warmed a bit, of course). Hope you get the chance to do something along these lines.

Fun to read this post on a day when we woke up to a few inches of fresh powder ourselves. The new stove is loaded, but we have yet to actually light it. Might tonight.

I think your plan to stay put for a bit is a wise one (go for depth over breadth), and I love that you all look so happily besotted by the landscape!

WOW – soooo pretty. What a different place than you’ve experienced before! The first thing I thought of when I started reading was, “how did they bring warm enough clothes for this in those little bags?!” But you guys are tough… Glad you are having such a wonderful time – Love you!

Sarah, looks like its time to take up backcountry skiing/snowboarding. Many of my friends – and I – would pay a lot of money to be in Patagonia in spring with fresh snowfall. Take advantage of the powder!
