Things to do on Thursday: tunes and trails, but no snowmen

The mountains are finally wearing a beautiful winter coat, with even a little more to fall before tomorrow, but Carson City just got a dusting. That means the roads are slick, so give yourself some extra travel time until the sun gets a chance to melt it off. The Roska Collective wants to help you kick off your weekend early with Techno and Tequila at Battle Born Social downtown. The Bella Vita Bistro in the Carson Mall adds Thirsty Thursday Karaoke to the mix. Muscle Powered offers an afternoon hike, but I'd recommend checking their Facebook page HERE in case today's trek has been cancelled.
