                    The Best Snow in Idaho              Uncrowded....Unspoiled....Unbelievable
  Greetings!

 powder boarderHappy New Year! Here at Brundage Mountain we waved goodbye to 2009 and said hello to 2010 in our very favorite way...with fresh snow!

We got ANOTHER 5" of fresh snow yesterday, for a total of TWO FEET of fresh snow over the last 8 days.

In case you weren't able to join us over the holidays, we want to make sure you're still able to share the excitement. Check out our "Don't Miss a Thing" entry below to catch up on the good times.

January is national "Learn a Snowsport Month" which makes it the perfect time to introduce our exciting new program, the "Learn to Ski Guarantee". (You'll definitely want to tell your non-skiing friends about this one!).

We're also hosting a clinic and race for first-time ski and snowboard racers (if you're a pass holder, it's FREE), some cool freestyle events, and some fun contests and activities everyone can enjoy. Read on for the exciting details, AND to find out how you can get a ski & stay package for less than $43 per person. (No, that's not a typo!). It's our way of wishing you a Happy New Year - and encouraging you to spend time with us in 2010!

TOP FIVE REASONS TO GIVE SKI RACING A TRY

Sunday, January 10th
 
The Race Clinic and Rookie Race You don't want to miss!

Have you ever been tempted to jump on a race course and see if YOU could fly through the gates like an Olympic racer? Now's your chance to see if you compare to Bode or Lindsey.

Brundage Mountain's Snowsports experts are offering a race clinic and rookie race for both skiers and snowboarders. It's FREE for 2009-10 Brundage and Bogus Pass Holders, and just $5 for everyone else.

Top Five Reasons YOU Should Try It:

1.  Improve your skiing - whether you fall in love with racing or this is a one-time experience, learning more about the race technique will help you improve your skiing overall.

2. Get a Real Thrill - the first couple times you rip down a slope with gates whipping by next to your face, your adrenaline will get pumping!

3. Make New Friends - learning something new is always a great bonding experience, and can make for some good laughs!

4. Be a Better Fan - our coaches will teach you the basics and the 'lingo', so when you're watching the Olympic racers in February, you'll really know your stuff.

5. Your Personal Medal Count - give it a try in January, and you'll be ready to rock for The 20th Annual Brundage Mountain Winter Games in February. Why? Because Bode and Lindsey don't need to be the only athletes taking home a gold!

This is part of our "Second Sunday" program.
