After a dismal 2014/2015 winter season, Mother Nature may have broken decade-held records with the amount of snow that has fallen this winter. The month of December felt like a never-ending onslaught of snow, providing day after day of fresh tracks, and frame after frame of freshly covered winter landscapes. From the heart of the Bavarian Village to the surrounding ridges of the Cascade Mountains, Leavenworth has truly been a winter wonderland this season. Below is a collection of images shot in and around Leavenworth from December 2015 through Feb 2016.
