What December feels like

December is when the valley earns its reputation: the cold settles in and simply stays, and the sun barely clears the ridge before it starts back down. The holiday weeks are fully booked and priced to match, and the sleigh rides on the elk refuge start up again.

Winter is doing its thing: 16.4 in of snow in a typical December, with fresh snow on about 11 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
