The cold temps in western Montana finally moved out and heavy snowfall moved in. We’ve been getting out skiing quite a bit, but off trail traversing is definitely some work. 
Callie and Sam love to tag along in the deep snow
Beautiful sunshine prompted an outing in Glacier Park along the Flathead river. Tough breaking trail through all the deep snow, but still enjoyable to get out.
This trail takes off from the horse barn at Apgar and branches off from the lookout trail. It parallels the Middle Fork of Flathead river back to Blankenship bridge, then turns up the North Fork. 
McDonald creek joins the Middle Fork.

The horses did have their blankets on through the cold temps, and were glad to get them off. 
Sam and Callie were lots of help
Beautiful days for sure, but everyone’s looking forward to spring!
