Weather and skiing: Winter definitely arrived in the past week. Valley snow, wind, cold and awesome Rocky Mountain Views on the clear sunny days. Whitefish Mountain Resort received copious amounts of snow. Skiing was great this week with views for forever. See Video below taken from chair 2 of the Flathead Valley and Whitefish Lake - which is pretty much frozen across at this point. Free night skiing this Saturday night thanks to the Kalispell Ski Club. We are going up with the family.
Kalispell swore in the new mayor this week. She is a young attorney. I'll be watching to see how that works with the city manager and council.
Night life starting to pick up around the valley now that the new year is here. Many Canadians and other tourists in town for all the winter fun we have to enjoy. Cross country skiing at the Whitefish Golf Course is one of my favorites. Groomed runs and you can rent equipment right there.
Community Education catalog from Flathead Valley Community College arrived in the mail yesterday. An overwhelming array of choices from learning Korean to cooking to back country camping with horses!
Central School Museum in Kalispell is starting up the winter lecture series. Check out their web site for more information.
Tickets are on sale for Alpine Theater Project's collaboration with the Glacier Symphony in an abbreviated version of South Pacific the end of January. 3 performances, 2 in Whitefish and 1 in Kalispell.
