I know there are 82 days left until we're back skiing (or snowboarding), and 27 days until season pass prices go up again. Maybe you already rewarded yourself for paying your property taxes on time with an early bird pass, or maybe you're still deciding if downhill is worth the hit to your wallet this winter. Either way, you should also check out the Nordic Club and all the different programs they offer. Skip the chairlift, get a better workout, and keep some money in your wallet.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to rush fall. It just started, and I love it - especially with the larches starting to change colour. But these things are important to think about when living in a mountain town. Winter activities can get expensive, and we need to plan for how our wallets will handle it.
Before we get into the list, here's a word from the SUYFA Collective...
Local Poetry and Prose Anthology
A collaborative poem from SUYFA Morning Sessions Writing Circle exploring the concept of "Integration" (January 2024).
a cosmic collection of dust bunnies
colliding into star-dusted longings in the shape of human beings
a melting pot of broken pieces
embodied fractals
inhales becoming exhales
exhales inevitably becoming emptiness
and in the centre, we will undoubtedly find spiritmeet me in the middle
as splintered parts seek their humble destiny
to become something resembling wholeness
where curiosity births a love child
conceived by the slow death of winter
and the holy ache of a belly full of laughter
meet me in the moment
where the light of day
surrenders into the darkness of night
where the sun has no choice
but to listen to the moon's whispering pull on waterremind me why i am here
because peace is demanding more hands than i have to offer
and despite our efforts to control the outcome
the spaces between us
never fail to know each and every one of our secrets
so look at me
through the kaleidoscopic lens of your subjective perception
hold me as i weep
through the heartbreaking bliss of finally being seen
maybe then we will remember
that the broken pieces within you
are the same broken pieces within me.
Submission deadline is approaching & we want to hear what you have to share!
Let’s create art together!
