winter wonderland


Most people think about Lake Chelan as a summer destination. It turns out that there are plenty of reasons to plan a winter trip to the lake. Our first winter trip we took the entire family over Christmas and New Year's.

We spent several days skiing and intertubing at the local Echo Valley ski hill.
