Hello Snowpacalypse 2017! There are two kinds of people when Mother Nature drops the Arctic Circle on your house; those who play and those who hibernate. ThisisBoise.com has activities for both. So whether you’re counting down the days for some weekend slopes, or stockpiling hot cocoa wrapped in a blanket next to your furnace – we have something to entertain you during this icy cold winter we must undergo.  

 

For Everyone:

 

Idaho Laugh Fest

This has got a little something for everyone. Improvs, workshops, standup; some for the family, and some not so much. Creator, and contributing Comedian, Megan Bryant has made something very unique here in Idaho; a Comedy Event that lasts 4 days and contains 60 different people. Truly becoming one of those things that makes Boise, Boise. Check it out!

Do you need a little summery fun to help get you through Snowmagedon? The West Boise YMCA has an indoor pool and is offering this Standup Paddle Board Intro Class (amongst others).
