Those seeking seclusion will find a remote haven, ideal for quiet reflection by a warm fire, or a contemplative walk in the icy wilderness with the wind as your only companion. Snow is common in our valley in most winters, quieting the babbling of the streams to a murmer, and brightening the landscape. The Alps offer bountiful opportunities for cross country skiers and snowshoers from December until the spring thaw hits the high country. In fact, enthusiasts can often find excellent skiing beginning right on Eagle Creek Ranch property!       The following shots were taken in the middle of a heavy storm just before Christmas ('02). We were the recipients of several feet of snow during the winter of '02/'03, getting unusual winter storms as late as early April.   The Best of Winter at the Ranch Cross-country Skiing Every year, Telemark skiers delight in the miles of backcountry trails accessible within a short drive of the ranch. Snowshoeing Snowshoers will find almost unlimited opportunities for quiet exploration in snow-blanketed alps. Solitude Nearby Coffee Creek and Trinity Center host poulations of a couple hundred each in the summer time. In the winter, these populations shrink to almost half that size as seasonal residents leave for warmer climates. Visitors who come at this time of year enjoy a winter wilderness as remote as exists in California.
