Well. That was fun. Thanks for the two days off. Yes, I enjoyed my epic skiing, thank you very much. Hopefully you enjoyed yours.
In Gorge events news, tomorrow night is the only local showing of the kayaking movie Congo. This is not a bro-brah flick. This is the story of Steve Fisher and friends’ first descent of the mighty Congo river. I haven’t seen it yet, but all sources say it’s an amazing film. Friday. Columbia Center for the arts. $12. In other news, there are free Burton demos at Meadows Friday and Saturday.
In Gorge weather, we’ll see more snow tonight, starting after midnight and continuing through 10am, for a few inches of new down to river level.
