Flathead Valley Weekly Update: December 30, 2011

Weather: for some reason this is the first thing that comes to mind this week. After many sunny and warm (for winter) days, it is snowing this morning. Still warm and may end up raining in the valley but the ski hills should benefit. It has been a slow start to skiing this year. Big Mtn received 7" the other night which led to avalanche control measures. This weekend should see the start to more stable snow fall and better conditions. Blacktail faces north and has had a better base thus far. Big winds and rain off and on the last couple of days in the valley. The ground has been thawing. Hope the trees and horses don't start thinking it is spring!

Whitefish Mountain Resort has some New Year's Eve options. Snow boarding on the rails under lights at 5pm followed by the torchlight parade. Music at the base lodge free of charge from 5-8:30pm.

First Night Flathead in Kalispell is an annual event. Buy a button and roam around town to various venues to enjoy a wide variety of music from local musicians.

Fresh Life Church had 3 amazing Christmas Eve services on Saturday. We attended the one at 2pm in Kalispell. There are 2 former movie theaters where worship takes place and they were at capacity with overflow in an additional building. This is a very high tech church so the other venues had hd equipped screens showing the live music and preaching from the Liberty theater. There was a 4pm in Whitefish at the cinema there. Amazing music and preaching!

Hockey is showing up around the valley. On any frozen body of water, at the Woodland Park rink in Kalispell and the Stumptown Ice Den in Whitefish. 

My winter activities are curtailed due to knee replacement surgery a few weeks ago, but you can still find me in the cheering section for snow!
