PARTIES: PRAY FOR SNOW
As opening days approach and the air gets colder, winter sports enthusiasts pray that snow starts falling at their favorite mountain resorts so they can start hitting the slopes. Join some like-minded snow-lovers at one of two "Pray for Snow" parties happening in the Spokane area. Perry Street Brewing is hosting their annual Pray for Snow party featuring a "Dance for Snow" contest, a photo booth and the release of PSB's Haute Laps Hazy Pale. Earlier in the month, Millwood Brewing Company hopes for snow with raffles, lift ticket giveaways and ski movie showings in Spokane Valley.
