This adult apres party will transport you back in time with period ski clothing (including shoulder pads), vintage music courtesy of Mix 104.1, and you could even order a Tequilla Sunrise but bring the recipe because the bartender might not have mixed one since the 90's!

It's so boring to sit in front of a computer looking for a date!

Dig out a retro 80's skiing one piece jobbie and hit the slopes in search of love on February 11th at Black Mountain in Jackson, NH!

Black Mountain is the place to be if you're interested in a new twist on speed dating!  This is a really popular annual event too!

From the get go, you will know that the person your riding the chair with is a skiier or rider, so that puts compatability right at your ski tips!  

Here's the deal:  You get matched up for an 8 minute ride up our double chair (I'd hate to tell you what I saw two people do on a 10 minute chair lift a few years ago - but that's another story), the beautiful views and skiing should give you a great jumping off point with your conversation.

If it's not a good match, ski down and try it out again!

Ben Cook will be crooning in the Lostbo pub, and the folks from Sam Adams will be there giving out swag as well.  

If you get a great match, be sure to book the Last Tracks event for that night as well!

White Birch Books presents Lisa Gardner’s International Launch Party

Monday, January 30 at 7pm

Horsefeathers Restaurant in North Conway Village

It’s that time of year again, when we look forward to a new thriller by award-winning author, and Valley resident, Lisa Gardner.

RIGHT BEHIND YOU is the new book and it comes out on Tuesday, January 31. The first place to see Lisa and get your signed copy is the night before at the White Birch Books International Book Launch Party, hosted by Horsefeathers Restaurant, right in the center of North Conway Village.

The book launch party is a truly collaborative event. Horsefeathers, a North Conway village landmark, will be offering their regular menu for those who want to make a night of it. The bookstore will be there with all of Gardner’s books.

“We have always enjoyed teaming up with Horsefeathers for this event,” said Laura Cummings, owner of White Birch Books. “They are great hosts and this has become quite the regular annual outing!”

RIGHT BEHIND YOU. Eight years ago, Sharlah May Nash’s older brother beat their drunken father to death with a baseball bat in order to save both of their lives. Now thirteen years old, Sharlah has finally moved on. About to be adopted by retired FBI profiler Pierce Quincy and his partner, Rainie Conner, Sharlah loves one thing best about her new family: They are all experts on monsters.

Lisa Gardner is the Valley’s own New York Times bestselling author and has written 17 previous thrillers. She lives with her family in Jackson where she is always at work on the next book, or involved with various community projects.
