Spring has Sprung

It is gorgeous in the High Country! The temperatures this last week have been a little cool (40s and 50s), but today the sun is shining, like most of the days this month. Unless something ridiculous happens next week, this will be the first time in 10 years it hasn't snowed in April!! Maybe it was that harsh winter and Mother Nature said these poor people have had enough. Thank you Mother Nature!

We are starting our Spring maintenance season, so you should see things going on little-by-little. There's going to be a lot to do on Beech this year, so come on up and enjoy yourselves!

Let It Snow . . . Again!!!

Hello HBVers,

Well, here we are at the end of January and we're expecting another 10" - 14" of snow! So far we've probably totaled 50 inches, and we're only half way there!!! We'll be going down into single digits again, too. So, we've left the heat a little higher in all the units until next week so that we can be sure that we have it warm enough.

We did have a frozen pipe over Christmas due to heat not working in one of our 2 bedroom units. Unfortunately, the people who were renting it neglected to tell the company they rented from that it was not working for at least a day. We had single digits then with wind chills as much as -35!! So, of course when it was fixed, and the heat was cranked up, broken pipe! Hopefully this freeze will not cause any problems!

Other than that we seem to be doing pretty well this winter. We still have the sliding glass doors to do, but the weather just isn't allowing for it. But, we'll get to it . . . when the weather cooperates.

If you're coming to the mountains . . . make sure you have 4-wheel drive or chains! You're not getting around without it!!
