A bit of unwelcome excitement here this week -- a fire broke out on Sunday afternoon, just above the Village. They got a perimeter line around it pretty quickly, but are still up there on the slope working it. Schools were closed for a couple of days, but the air is clearing now, and we're about back to normal. We were so very grateful that it wasn't windy -- this was burning about 3/4 of a mile west of us, at the ski resort. About 100 acres of forest lost, and it could have been so very much worse! :(
