Thanks! The trees are covered not only by snow but also by ice, which has accumulated on branches. The trees are shallow to avoid braking of the branches.
That explains a lot. I was very struck by the narrowness of the evergreens in Colorado but this gives me the “why.” What kind of trees are these? White Fir?

Siberian Spruce (Picea obovata), I think not exactly but very close.
I’m afraid I’m one of those people who think that ‘fir trees’ (generic description!) are pretty dull – until it snows when they really come into their own. Perfect white snow, blue sky and a touch of green – wonderful 🙂

Beautiful. We drove through Colorado this winter and I had the same thought gazing on similar snow-covered trees. Lovely!
