or many, the new year is an opportunity to do more of the things you love or are good for you: spending time with family, exercising, building community, eating better, etc. The holidays, however, can leave you feeling spent. So while it won’t increase your intake of healthy greens, going to Silver Mountain for their 50th anniversary party is a festive way to meet your resolutions and maximize your recreational dollars. On Jan. 5, 2018, the original Kellogg, Idaho, ski spot known as Jackass Ski Bowl celebrates its 50th (aka golden) anniversary with a rolled-back lift ticket price. You don’t have to ski or board to appreciate the retro outfit contest, live music, rail jam, fireworks and general mountainside merriment. For just twelve bucks — less than you’d
spend on drive-through coffees and Danish — try any of 73 trails across 1,600 acres of terrain. Refuel at the Mountain House Grill or at Moguls, where the poutine pairs perfectly with local craft beers on tap. Properly rested, head out again for night tubing (5-7 pm) or night skiing (until 9 pm), then back to Mountain House for the best view of the fireworks. Or check out the Jam 4 Cans Rail Jam, which anyone can enter; participants “pay” with 15 donated cans of food to benefit community food banks or watch (for free). Then wind down your goodfor-you day with live music at Moguls by Yesterday’s Cake. Want to make a weekend of it? Check out lodging package deals, including ski-and-stay from $86 and feel good about your day on the mountain.
