Amber Autumn Divine Inspiration at the age of 63 months, was awarded by Amanda VandenBosch at the TxOlan Show, the JUDGE'S CHOICE. Congratulations! Alpaca Color Coat: Ee AA When Snowmass Divine Love was born into this world he brought something special with him. A lavender coloured fleece. The history of Snowmass Divine Love is interesting. He was brought to compete in the 2013 Futurity. The owners had the challenge of not knowing what class he was going to be placed as he had this unusual color and the AOBA show system didn't have a color on their chart to classify him. It was decided to put Divine Love in the Bred and Owned class where he ended up taking Champion and from there he moved on to compete in the final line with all the other colours. The final result ended with a Judge's Choice Award! It was exciting for the Snowmass owners to see the astonishment of the judges faces when they opened Divine Love's fleece, and then to listen as they tried to describe the characteristics over the mic. Many people were stunned that he had actually won the overall champion until they came to see his fleece for themselves. “Oh wow!… now I understand” Fiber and Fleece Description from Snowmass Alpacas: Merino vicuna extraordinaire: Density is beyond anything we have ever witnessed. Fineness is revolutionary. Color well we have never seen this color. Gerald and I are very grateful to have had the opportunity to purchase Snowmass Divine Love in 2017 and add him to our breeding program.

Alpaca Coat Colour Test Result: Ee Aa Base Coat Phenotype: W F BB Classic Grey Our precious female, Orlando's Maringo Cloud, surprises us every year with something special. She produces wonderfull offsprings and they come in multiple colours including rose grey with her champion offspring, Ariya Maringo's Xander. This year in 2022 she produced a female out of Majestic Peruvian Leonidas that is almost a copy of Xander. We will see with time if she's a true rose grey. Having a production female like Maringo makes it very motivating to experiment with different males. Her offsprings are strong and boxy with great fibre coverage with fun temperament. Résultat du test de couleur du pelage en alpaga : Ee Aa Phénotype de la couche de base : W F BB Classic Grey Notre précieuse femelle, Orlando's Maringo Cloud, nous surprend chaque année avec quelque chose de spécial. Elle produit des descendants merveilleux et ils sont venus en plusieurs couleurs, y compris le gris rose avec sa progéniture championne, Xander d'Ariya Maringo. Cette année en 2022, elle a produit une femelle de Majestic Peruvian Leonidas qui est presque une copie de Xander. On verra avec le temps si c'est une vraie gris rose. Avoir une femelle de production comme Maringo rend très motivant d'expérimenter avec différents mâles. Ses descendants sont forts et boxy avec une grande couverture en fibres avec un tempérament amusant.

Snowmass Everlasting Highlander XX, a great addition to our herd since summer 2019. With the successful years of having Snowmass Pure Reserve XX and the offsprings he produced, we needed to find a herdsire that would continue the art of breeding and advance us into another level of quality in alpacas. In our 2020 crop of crias from Snowmass Everlasting Highlander XX, we found just that, a consistent quality of strong, dense, fine, organised and uniform fleeces in these crias. Everlasting Highlander XX participated in 2 fleeces shows at 4 & 5 years of age where he showed elite results in all categories with comments "Crazy fine & uniform, especially for age" and " Quite impressive fineness of secondaries for age!!" Everlasting Highlander XX is a result of 30 years of committed passion in the improvement of alpaca genetics at Snowmass Alpacas. He is compact, dense, uniform with longevity of fineness showing at the age of 6 a histogram of 18.6/4.1/1.2>30 SF 18.3 with a curvature of 66!!! January 31, 2022. It's with great sadness that we announce that Snowmass Everlasting Highlander XX passed away this morning. A necropsy will be done to try and understand his death.
