What do the holidays mean to you? Are there any traditions that you celebrate?


"Getting together with family and friends—and tradition would be chasing my [friends] around the Christmas tree."

Mark Brown

"Holidays are about reconnecting with good friends, spending time with family—and the tradition would be deep powder skiing complete with smiles and laughter."

Zach Crist

"Good food, good company and good skiing. My tradition is drinking mimosas on Christmas morning."

Katie Vermillion

Ketchum sweetheart

"My dad is a ski instructor, so my mom and I watch the torchlight parade every year, and the holidays are for reconnecting and rebonding with people you never see anymore."

Morgan Jones

"On Christmas Eve we get together with family and friends and we used to take a sleigh ride out Warm Springs golf course. This year we are going for a gondola ride complete with dinner."

Pat Higgens

Ketchum resident

"This is the first year that I haven't spent the holidays with family, but I'll continue getting [full] on Tom and Jerry's like I've been doing since I was 10."

Ryan Kolquist

Ketchum newbie

"It's time to get together with friends and reflect upon the last year and give thanks for all we have. But the added workload sucks."
