Happy Anniversary!
February 1st we celebrated 5 years of the Woodland. I remember the first 6 months and all the motel stories…
To kick off January a winter storm brought nearly 3 feet of snow to Monarch Ski area! What a treat to ski beautiful powder for days as this storm moved in and hung around for several days. A visitor who had just returned from skiing in blizzard like conditions on the mountain as he looked around the motel parking lot surrounded by blue skies and sunshine expressed “It’s like a whole different world down here!” While a lot of people in Salida love skiing Monarch powder, we are all a bit spoiled by the fair weather in town. It seems like a prize to wake up with hardly a dusting of snow and no need to shovel before taking off to ski 18 inches of fresh snow at Monarch Mountain. (Did we mention that it’s less then a half hour from Salida?)
