SKIING AT RENDEZVOUS TODAY!
As you all know, we have been blessed with snow in town. This means we are now skiing at the Rendezvous Ski Trails. Passes, as always, are required. It also means our On-Snow Demo is back on! Try out all of the latest gear by heading to the demo tents by the Trailhead building Friday and Saturday from 10:00 - 3:00. From 3:00 - 5:00 today check out Aprés Ski (in the same area). Buffalo Bar in West Yellowstone has donated beer and Willie's Distillery will be there with Whiskey Samples. Souvenir beer cups are for sale for $5.
Although the snow is great for us, it isn't great for some who were planning to travel to Yellowstone Ski Festival. Unfortunately, Liz Stephen is unable to make the trip because of the weather. FORTUNATELY, Christie Aschwanden has agreed to speak in her place. She will be at the Holiday Inn speaking at 7:00 PM Friday.
We have new trails! Check out this map of Rendezvous Ski Trails showing the new trails.
