Finally! Snow has fallen on the Whitefish Mountain Resort with more promised this week. 2 runs are open on the backside of the mountain. Got a dusting in the valley last night that looks very Christmas like.

    City of Kalispell is working on a possible parking garage downtown. That would surely help with shopper and business parking issues. My office is downtown so I have the privilege of walking everywhere from my office without the worry of parking, but I know how annoying it is for everyone else.

    Flathead County is actively having residents such as myself, name our private roads that extend from main roads. This will help 911 service providers locate residences more rapidly and accurately. It has always been that you can live a mile or more from a main road but that main road is still your address. Makes it easier to tell friends how to find your house as well, no more "my address is such and such but I actually live .25 of a mile from that road".

    Here's to happy shopping, skiing, decorating, or whatever else may keep you busy as we get closer to Christmas!
