The sunset may look warm, but it has been cold, cold, cold at Shaver. There is a lot of snow at Sierra Summit and I am told it is the best ever.
For information on the planned activities for Shaver Lake 2008, visit my web site at www.ValerieMortensen.com.
Come ski or play...it is worth the trip just to see the beautiful snow!

The amount of snow sitting on the deck railing was so odd. It was such light and fluffy snow so was able to stay on the railing for some time. This snow was from last Friday and Sunday. We received another five inches today. It has been wild!

Nah...just kidding. This photo was taken from my deck on Pine Ridge. Looks just like the ocean. Those mountains are actually the coast range. The big orange ball...well, I think you recognize that.
Shaver has been very cold lately. We received a short drift of what we call dandruff snow yesterday and for a very short time.
The Special Olympics are this weekend at Sierra Summit. The Sandstroms (they run Sierra Marina) work very hard to put this on for some very deserving folks. If you are up at the Marina this summer make sure to thank them for all their hard work on this event.
Just in case you would like to buy some property at Shaver or anywhere else...interest rates are pretty good right now...and prices on property are the lowest they have been in three years. You can look at current properties for sale at Shaver at www.ValerieMortensen.com.
Have a great day!

Sunny and lovely here the last few days. Expecting some kind of weather on Monday. 30% chance to date. So I think a "rain dance" is in order and maybe we will get snow here at Shaver.
Over the next week, I will be entering the new events for Shaver Lake 2008. Visit www.ValerieMortensen.com to see what the year holds for Shaver.

We have had fantastic weather these last two days. Sun hitting the glistening snow...just can't beat it.
Since the buckets of dear food are buried under the snow, we do not have visiting deer. But, we do have a single coyote, and then two others that come together and scamper around our lot almost daily. They come at different times so we know they are not together.
Life in the mountains....gotta love it!

Lakes, mountains, boating, snow skiing, water skiing, hiking--Shaver Lake has it all! We have Fourth of July fireworks on the lake, wine tasting, The Black Pot Cook-off, fabulous weather, bountiful wildlife, and so much more. Let me update you each day with all the fun, excitement, adventure, and happenings here in Shaver Lake. If you don't read the Shaver Lake Blog, you're out of the loop. Get with it!
I grew up in Fresno (my husband in Sanger)and now live in Shaver Lake and have for the past eight years. We only wanted a mountain retreat...but we were spending so much time here that before long I was teaching at Pine Ridge Elementary and we moved here full time. My husband still commutes to Fresno and claims it is "no problem." I have two sons, one lives in New York, and the other in Fresno. I am currently selling Real Estate(www.ValerieMortensen.com)in these mountains and loving what I do. There are many Real Estate Associates so the competition can be tough, but I would not want to sell Real Estate anywhere else. Helping clients find that special mountain getaway is very special to me.
