“Beat that if you can,” Jeff Halligan said. ”Come stretch your ski legs and prepare for the upcoming season,” Jeff Halligan said. “It’s gonna be a wacky show for a wicked snow season.” Halligan also promoted the Central Idaho Recreation Coalition, adding that the organization has a new mission statement. The organization will advocate conservation of public lands in central Idaho by facilitating collaboration, engaging volunteers, and promoting human powered recreational opportunities, he said. CIRC also intends to protect lands for wildlife, solitude, conservation, wildness, and the productivity of land.
