The Smithsonian Magazine Names Ketchum Top 20 Small Town in US!

In the words of Smithsonian Magazine, small towns "beckon from nearly every corner of the country, from grand rivers and awesome mountains, from the Great Plains and a misty farm valley and a venerable whaling harbor, and what never fails to charm us is that each one follows its own, unhurried clock, saving up stories to tell and making time to talk. They are America's Best Small Towns to visit, and for this, our third annual search-and-enjoy mission, we've singled out communities for particular strengths in history, music, visual arts, learning, food, theater and science. It's not solitude we're seeking—the fruits of human creativity are best shared—but, rather, enrichments unbothered by the growl of our increasingly urban lives…" And with this they went on to name Ketchum, Idaho one of their favorite Top 20 Towns in the US.  For more read the story here: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/20-best-small-towns-to-visit-in-2014-180950173/?utm_source=facebook.com&no-ist

The Best Day of Hockey. Ever. The Idaho Pond Hockey Classic

It may just be the single most indelible moment in all of Ketchum, Idaho’s sports history,” it was said of Team USA’s improbable silver shovel run at the 2014 Idaho Pond Hockey Classic . “One that sent an entire town into a frenzy.” American Pond Hockey came of age on January 18th 2014 on a pond in Ketchum, Idaho when an unlikely mishmash of hometown heroes and heroines, after a brutal first round loss, ran nearly 10 hours and six rounds straight into night and into the finals – and ultimately into our hearts.  Why are we talking about the silver shovel winners and not the gold?  Well, that is the spirit of pond hockey.

A Rodeo on Snow – Baldy Banked Slalom

As snowboarders we live for events like the Baldy Banked Slalom that remind each and every one of us where the soul of snowboarding lives and where it always has. This event is an ode to the roots of snowboarding, reaffirmation of its disregard for the mainstream, but most of all one of the best days of the entire season getting together and shredding an awesome, wild course with our best friends.
