| City considers Triple Crown extension
I do not know about the grocery stores, but have you ever stopped into Subway, McDonalds, Wendy's, or any other fast food place during Triple Crown Time? The line is huge most of the time.

Alpine kids cherish ‘high speed' challenge
The kids from the BSSEF Alpine race team jumped out of the cars, swimsuits in hand. Tomorrow they race, but tonight it's swimming at the White Sulphur Hot Springs pool, chowing down on a burger and fries, and enjoying the fun that traveling to a new ski area brings. The Super G competition at Showdown is famous among Montana kids for its long sloping run, its funky hometown ambiance and of course, the fun of the high speed! They look forward to it all year and can't wait to go again once it's over. This year was no exception and BSSEF's mighty team of 10 kids represented our town with top honors, lots of smiles and great sportsmanship. Young J6 Alexa Coyle set the bar by placing first in her division. Her teammate Valerie Hetherington kept a firm hold on second place and together they topped the podium all three days.
