What December feels like
December light never really climbs; the range glows pink for hours instead of the sun properly rising. There is nothing commercial happening at all, which is precisely why the handful of people who come now keep coming back.
Winter is doing its thing: 12.4 in of snow in a typical December, with fresh snow on about 11 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
