It was the exact date on which the Nevada Legislature first created the Nevada State Park system in 1935.

It's time for the skinny skier, skiers, snowshoers and fit bodies race up the mountain in the Annual Billy Dutton Uphill, in honor of late local luminary, Billy Dutton. The original “run what ya brung” race is an uphill answer to the famous ‘Chinese Downhill’ of the 70s. Starting from the bottom of KT-22, the course climbs 2,000 vertical feet over 3.2 miles to the finish at High Camp, at 8,200 feet.
It's enough to take your breath away just thinking about it.
The Billy Dutton Uphill race is open to Nordic skiers, snowshoers, runners and outdoor enthusiasts of all ages.

A plan hatched between city parks and Silver State High School appears to be building momentum. The plan seeks to have the city give to the school what it needs (free land) in exchange for the school giving access to the Parks and Recreation what it needs (big new gymnasium and more soccer fields).

The city Parks and Recreation Commission is asking the Board of Supervisors to give Silver State High School ten acres of city land near the southwest corner of Centennial Park and in return the school will build a big new gym and soccer fields that the public will have full access to after hours and on weekends. No money changes hands and both get what they want.

ow, Idaho State University sophomore Mike Arnold has two Big Sky Conference pole vault championships to his credit. And the Carson City product continues to soar higher.
