Happy New Year's Eve!
Some promising snow yesterday afternoon, but alas it stopped overnight. No super amounts of snow in the immediate forecast, but it will remain properly cold, so at least we won't have any of those pesky melts anymore.
New Year's festivities kicking off tonight around 10 PM at the New Prince Hotel. Ride a snowcat, sign up to ski in the color torch parade, win something from the free raffle, and see an awesome fireworks show at the stroke of midnight. Trust me, you've never been closer to exploding fireworks. It's pretty fun.
Think snow.
