Local Concerts

Harry Manx is coming to town in January.  This is a great concert.  Don't buy up all the tickets - I still have to get some Christmas presents!  I've never been to the Geomatic Attic, but have heard good things about the venue.

No Teton Pass this year

Ironically, I thought this was the year that I would make it down to Teton Pass to give the hill a try.  My telemark skills will up from last year and I thought I could give the terrain a go.  Turns out, they had insurance issues this season and will not open at all.
