Yes, the sun is shining today and the thermometer is creeping into the 70's.  Even so, there's one more day of skiing and snowboarding that you won't want to miss.

Tomorrow, Silver Mountain is hosting its 9th annual Leadman triathlon, which involves skiing, a 7.4 mile muddy, downhill bike ride, and a 4.7 mile run. 

If that sounds like too much work, you can pick up a "Silver Saturday" lift ticket ($39 for adults, $29 for kids) and enjoy the 14 inches of untouched snow that fell earlier this week.  This is the last day of skiing in the Inland Northwest - don't miss it!

Race for the Cure runners will be greeted by something new at the finish line this year. A bright pink tractor. Northwest Farm Credit Services have been working with volunteers and donors from across the North Idaho and Eastern Washington region to get the tractor ready in time for its race day debut.

Northwest FCS is the finish line sponsor at this year's Race for the Cure and they wanted something big to greet finishers. Jennifer Rohrer, the Public Relations Communications Coordinator, saw a picture of a pink tractor online and thought it would be a great way to represent the communities that they serve.

I came. I sat. I conquered. That's the motto of the USA Sitting Volleyball Association. This weekend the Evergreen Region Volleyball Association is hosting an exhibition and clinic to spark the area's interest in the fast paced sport.

Lindsay Walter, of the Evergreen Region, says the idea was born at a board meeting last month. They were discussing the possibility of the ADA passing a law that would require schools to offer sports for disabled students. Volleyball is relatively easy to modify to sitting, so they contacted Elliot Blake, the sitting volleyball coordinator for USA Volleyball and set things in motion.

The event will feature an exhibition game between Seattle's sitting volleyball team and local volleyball coaches. The teams will include both disabled and able body players. The game will be followed by a clinic put on by Elliot Blake. Paralympic sitting volleyball player Heather Erickson will also be on hand teaching skills during the clinic.
