Well… we can easily say it has been YEARS since we’ve seen this much snow. Took the picture that is with this note around 7am this morning, after shoveling a path to the front door. Great way to work up an appetite for a Roadhouse Standard!
And the snow has come just in time for our biggest event of the winter: Oosik Classic Ski Race. Downtown will look like a Swiss Alps ski town this weekend as hundreds of folks gather to take to the trails. Great events, music, food… and the weather is forcast to be beautiful! Yeah…. #skitalkeetna !

We always recommend double checking with the particular venue/host organization to verify all events and happenings are still a ‘go.’ Things change fast…sometimes faster that we can update! Good places to find event information for Talkeetna – besides right here! – are the Talkeetna Chamber of Commerce Calendar of Events page and KTNA’s website under Today’s Announcements.
Take care!
