Feeling itchy to get out and get active? Do your kids have cabin fever? Get inspired by the Telluride Film Festival, coming on Jan. 23rd and 25th at 7 p.m.

Take note that at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 23, there will be a ski swap at Homer High School. And here’s a bonu: free introductory snowboarding lessons for youth, up at the rope tow. The instructor will be Homer High School volunteer Jake Worsfold. The lessons will be one-hour long, and there will be two separate sessions of four lessons each, Feb. 2, 9, 16 and 23 and March 2, 9, 16 and 23.  The only requirement is a daily lift ticket, which is $5 for students. Advance registration is recommended. Please contact George at 399-6255 to register, and call 235-7669 (-SNOW) anytime for updates. Thank you and we hope to see you and your kids up on the hill soon.
