The roof trusses are now parked on Lake Louise, on the ice out front of the Wolverine Lodge. The first of March, Scott Eckert, a Web Manager from Oregon, will be up to help out.We will be mixing*"snowtinis" and hauling the trusses into the cabin.
* Snowtini. This drink can only be called a Snowtini if it is mixed on or near Lake Louise.It is just a martini made with snow elsewhere. This delightful libation was invented by Scott Eckert and me at Uncle Bud Young's cabin on Young's Cove on the east side of the lake. You can make one if you have good dry snow and the temperature is about 15 degrees above or colder. Scrape off the top of the snow crust (hint: make sure it is white snow)! Scoop your shaker into the snow and pack it firmly but not solid. Add 2 ounces of Plymouth gin. Only Plymouth will work. This is a mandatory requirement. Add Willy Prat to your taste. Shake the Plymouth, Willy, and snow until the shaker gets a little icy on the outside. Pour into a crystal martini glass. Hold it up to the light and you will see ice crystals floating and sparkling in your snowtini, walk outside to see if you can look at the northern lights through your glass.
