The views from all windows are spectacular during every season. Winters here are akin to being in a wonderland and snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, sledding and ice skating can be accessed by simply walking out of the yard. Forest trails and small hills exist throughout the immediate forest. The home is located only 40 miles North of Big Mountain Ski Resort so day trips to downhill skiing is readily accessible.
