If April showers bring May flowers, then what does a month of October rain bring? Hopefully, amazing treehouses! In spite of it raining for 27 of the last 30 days, it’s been a very busy month of construction at Snow Bear Chalets.

Ponderosa Chalet, our slope side chalet, will be the first one completed, as we’re trying to beat the snow which will be created soon from Whitefish Mountain Resort. The glulam beams with their whimsical swoops have been installed, creating the storybook feel that we designed for Snow Bear.

At the beginning of this month there were no beams, just steel. Today, October 20th, the roof beams are on, the wall framing has begun and the chalet is taking shape. Tomorrow the interior wood roof will be installed, preparing the way for the cedar shake roof to be installed soon. We need a bit of sunshine to complete everything properly!

We’re excited to see it come together and so grateful for the dedicated team of craftsmen who are diligently working (in the rain!) to create our dream.
