"Tiny Cabin, Giant View"

I'm fortunate that both my parents continue to clip out and send me interesting articles from the various publications they read. I particularly enjoyed a recent Wall Street Journal article about a tiny, idyllic cabin in the Sierra Nevada mountains outside Tahoe. Snowboarder Mike Basich built his home from granite stones and wood he collected from his property and milled himself. The off-grid cabin, which is several miles from the road, also boasts a fire-heated hot tub and his own personal ski lift. Impressive and inspiring!

Tiny Snapshot

While skiing Canyons Resort this past Monday I enjoyed seeing the collection of tiny buildings scattered around the mid-mountain area. They help make the area feel like a friendly little Alpine village.
