Come create conversation, generate ideas, hack projects, create workshops, ski, snowshoe, snowmobile and experience small-town living. The dates are Feb 23 - 27, 2015. Many people like to arrive earlier and stay a bit later; activities start with the Sunday evening barbecue and go through Saturday morning breakfast.
