Planning the trip together, figuring out how to deal with the frigid cold, getting all our provisions a mile up the mountain through snow to the cabin (and back down again), sharing a very small space for three days, meeting to talk about our goals for the year—personal and collective—and our hopes for the remaining months, figuring out together how to meet everyone's needs throughout the experience, spending lots of time in the snow under the clearest of blue skies in fiercely cold air, watching the full moon rise over Camel's Hump just across the valley from the cabin and watching the lunar eclipse from the windows and porch of the cabin, listening to night owls, skiing and snowshoeing by the light of the sun and the moon > all brought us closer together with each other and the woods of Sleepy Hollow.
