The December tourists at Red Mountain seem to be here with skiing being only a bonus activity to the time they are spending visiting friends and family. January brings the more focused destination skiers.
The weather and light in December are also consistently unique compared to January-March. December brings brilliant shades of gray. The sky, snow, trees, and distant mountains all blend together, they seem to be more connected to each other in the December light. There is much less color contrast between different elements of the environment except for about the 17 minutes before the sun sets. Then there is more contrast than at any other time of the year. The mountains near and distant become clearly defined. Each day ends with a brief moment of sunlight enhanced glory.
