The family cabin in Frisco, Colorado was intended to be a summer place and therefore was not constructed with the frigid high country winters in mind. However, this changed with the development of the ski resorts of Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone and Copper Mountain in the mid-1960s to early 1970s, and their central location to Frisco. The cabin was "winterized" by adding one inch of insulation on top of the existing board and shingle roof and then covering the insulation simply with another of layer shingles! So long as we kept a fire in the fireplace, it was a delightfully cozy cabin tucked away within the winter solitude of the surrounding lodgepole forest.
