We had a great group of 36 that enjoyed Sangria and a variety of beverages prior to the game. It was Harry Potter night and everyone got in line to get their striped socks, hats or other giveaways commemorating the night. Mingling among us were costume clad characters from Harry Potter. It was fun but we felt a little sorry for the guy dressed as Hagris, all the hair & heavy suit. Guess he had a cool outfi t under the hot suit. Everyone had plenty to eat at the buffet and a group retired to the Leinie Lodge totake a break from the heat & watched TRats along with the Brewers. The TRats had a big rally but unfortunately lost by one but the Brewers were the big winners. The night ended with a spectacular fireworks display. Thanks to all who attended; we had a great time.

9 Winter Activities Around Jackson Hole Jackson Hole Mountain Resort: Although known for its expert terrain, Jackson Hole has 1250 acres of nonadvanced terrain [of 2500 total], which includes 40% intermediate and 10% beginner trails. Base elevation is at about 6300 ft, and peak elevations range from just over 9000 ft, accessible by gondola, to 10,450 ft, accessible by a tram. There are also several high-speed detachable quad chair lifts. Grand Targhee Resort: This is a less-crowded resort than Jackson Hole, with slightly more acres of skiing [2600 vs at Jackson Hole], slightly higher base elevation at 7850 ft, but similar peak elevations. It is known for its somewhat easier ski runs and light-powder snow. There is daily bus service from Jackson to Grand Targhee. We will investigate the possibility of a group rate for skiing and transportation as a side trip from Jackson and get the information to you well before the trip sign-up date. Snowshoe/Cross-Country Ski: Cross-country skiers and snow-shoers can enjoy groomed Nordic tracks or nature trails at Grand Teton National Park, Grand Targhee Resort [15 km of trails], Shooting Star Nordic Track [15 km of groomed trails; on Teton Village Road], and Teton Pines Cross Country Ski Center [16 km of groomed trails with rentals; 4 miles south of Teton Village]. Guided cross-country ski trips are also available. Heated Snow-Coach Tours: Tour National Elk Refuge, Grand Teton National Park or Yellowstone National Park and enjoy the pristine Wyoming winter landscape. These tours offer unparalleled vistas, options to see geological wonders like Old Faithful, and encounters with elk, moose, bald eagles and more. Snowmobile Tours: Tour Yellowstone National Park, the Gros Ventre Range, Togwotee Pass, or Greys River and visit landmarks like Old Faithful or the Granite Hot Springs, where you can enjoy a relaxing soak. Dog Sled Tours: A musher guide and a team of Alaskan sled dogs will pull you through the wilderness where you ll learn about local wildlife and spot deer, elk, moose, bighorn sheep, and bald eagles. The full-day tours even stop at Granite Hot Springs for a relaxing soak in the natural spa-like waters. Sleigh Rides: Daytime rides through the National Elk Refuge will get you within 30 feet of majestic elk and you may also see eagles, bison, foxes, and wolves. Or take an afternoon sleigh ride and top off your evening with a delicious fireside meal at Mill Iron Ranch or Spring Creek Ranch. Tubing: Get out and enjoy the snow at the tubing parks at Snow King Ski Area or nearby Grand Targhee Ski Resort. Rope tows and conveyor lifts make it quick and easy to get back up to the top of the hill. Remember that snow-tube riders must be 42 inches or taller. The brand new Cowboy Coaster at Snow King takes riders up 456 feet and then back down on a thrill-ride of twists and hairpin turns. Shopping and Dining: Spend a day in downtown Jackson exploring historic Town Square, with its iconic antler arches and the nearby stores and restaurants. Don t miss the famous Million Dollar Cowboy bar, where the seats are saddles or pop into the Silver Dollar Bar at the historic Wort Hotel where there is live music most evenings. Walk the boardwalks where you ll find local boutiques, western apparel and gifts, art galleries, outlets, and major retailers. Spa/Yoga/Pilates: Offer a range of services and experiences from traditional facials and bodywork, to more comprehensive wellness programs such as guided yoga instruction. Many of Jackson s spas harness the ingredients and natural beauty of the surrounding area to give you a truly unique treatment. Visitors interested in wellness can also enjoy daily classes at one of Jackson s yoga or Pilates studios. Art & Culture: The National Museum of Wildlife Art is a must-see for new and returning visitors to Jackson. This collection details the history of wildlife in art with a focus on European and American painting and sculpture. Art lovers will also enjoy touring Jackson s more than 25 galleries featuring painting and photography by local and world-renowned artists. Check the schedule of ongoing events at the Jackson Hole Center for The Arts for nighttime fun.
