The summers are warm and dry resulting from Pacific air masses that lose much of their moisture going through a number of mountain ranges. The winters are frigid from exposure to the Arctic air masses, however, the Village experiences heavy winds year round. Because it experiences long daylight hours in summer and short daylight hours in winter, the Village uses Pacific Standard Time during the months March – October and Mountain Standard Time during the months November – March.
