We have lots of dates open yet this month and into spring. The woods surrounding the house is so beautiful in the snow. There's lots to do here in the winter - Terry Peak Ski Area is just a few minutes away https://terrypeak.com/the-mountain/live-web-cams/

Black Elk Peak is the highest point in South Dakota. It is a great hike with beautiful views and a calming place to recharge.

It is our final winter for a while as winter is on its way out and spring will be welcomed in. The Mountain Crew is at work on the Mountain Carving through all seasons. Currently, rock removal and finish work continues on the back side of the Sculpture. In this photo you can see a Crew Member torching on Crazy Horse’s Pinkie finger. With even the smallest finger towering over the Carver, this is a great shot to help put the Carving into size perspective!

It is a good to share a photo of the Mountain that reminds us of its massive scale, yet at the same time, displays meticulous artistic detail. Today, as you take on your own “big projects,” we encourage you to take time to appreciate all that has been accomplished – it will surely help energize you to dive into the work yet to be done!

It has been some time since we have shared the view looking down on Crazy Horse’s Hand with readers. There is an amazing amount of detail work that has been happening here. Take note of the creases at the joints and, where the snow is not hiding it, you can see the top of Crazy Horse’s Hand also has become more life-like in appearance.

Today's fun fact: Did you know that Historic Deadwood was once the home to countless wild west legends like James Butler Hickok, Calamity Jane, Seth Bullock, and others?! You can even visit their graves up on Mount Moriah!
