I don't mind snow in March because it usually melts quick as the temps warm up after the snow. We only got a couple inches in our yard and yesterday i was ready to get in the jeep and head up the hwy towards higher mountain towns.
In Skyforest there is a place called SkyPark which use to be the old Santa 's Village years ago. The people that bought it took a few years to renovate it and then it opened up in December 2016. They are still adding more and more attractions and the newest thing they have been doing is working on additional parking on the other side of the hwy.
Besides the shops and attractions in the park they have miles and miles of groomed trails through the forest for mountain bike riding which is really popular up here. They've done a great job in making this feel like a winter wonderland no matter what season you visit. My favorite season to drive by is when the roofs are covered with snow. There is also rock climbing walls, ice skating in winter and roller skating in summer.
We passed the area yesterday and I was able to catch some photos out of the window. It was hard to keep my lens clean from snow melting off trees as we passed by so that explains the fuzzy parts of the photo.
i'm beginning to see a few buds/blooms starting on some of our trees - i'm definitely ready for more color up here after months of greens and browns. We were down in Redlands again the other day and i realize how much I'm craving spring colors. What about your area - has spring arrived?
...i thought i would add a few photos from our first trip when it opened. The last two photos are part of this beautiful scene ..quite big really ....of a whole village at Christmas. i spent quite a bit of time at this display and took way too many photos. here are just 2 of them.
Winter display on a big table - it was beautiful.
