The first weekend of Winter Carnival in McCall, Idaho kicked off with beautiful weather and huge crowds. The local businesses really put on a nice display of snow sculptures with over 30 amazing projects throughout the downtown area. Live music, speciality foods, fireworks and lots of fun events were a great start to the first weekend. One more weekend is planned that includes the popular music extravaganza at the Pancake House, with local artists and performers both Saturday and Sunday. Other events can be found at the McCall Area Chamber of Commerce web site.

Although we haven't had new snow for a couple weeks, the snow conditions remain good for both skiing and snowmobiling. For those cross country ski enthusiasts, the early snow created a great base and all the venues are keeping their trails in fantastic condition. Local nordic grooming report can be found at
