First Snow

02 October 2008 | Taos, NM
by the Fire Side Writter
This afternoon the thick cloud cover lifted revealing snow capped mountain tops! This will be our first Winter in 5 or so years but we are ready for it. Any temperature that doesn't involve heat rash, moldy EVERYTHING, and a gazillion mosquito bites is fine by us. Granted Winter in Taos isn't the same as in Crested Butte but then again here we won't have to shovel 6ft snow drifts, have my nose hairs freeze on my walk to work or Scott telling me how cold it is out as he retreats to the warmth of his cozy office with a hot steamy cup of coffee while dressed in his fleece bathrobe. Just the good ole car warm up in the morning and wind. When we want that much snow we can go to the ski valley!

Westsails have an interesting history. They were designed after pilot boats, boats that were made very sturdy so they could spend hours in rough seas. They were over built with fiberglass so they are thicker than most fiberglass boats and are wider (beamier) than most other boats for their length [...]
