David’s photos from the balcony of their time-share\/rental studio. They were in West Sedona, with a view back toward Coffee Pot Rock and the formation above it. By the time we saw this several days later, a lot of the snow had melted:

We woke up on fairly early for Christmas day, and because the snow was fresh and the weather was clearing, we decided to go to the Airport Vortex for some views (I remember 2 years ago at the same place<\/a>, looking for a dusting of snow on the far peaks). They did not disappoint:

We then hopped in the cars and drove a short ways to see the late afternoon light on the rocks nearby:

Back at the time-share again for games (Settlers of Catan), traditional Raclette dinner (yum), and more games:
