The dark is very scary for many of the kids who skateboard. Living in poverty they go to bed hungry at night, which is when the police or CPS come.

“They go to school the next day and they’re tired,” says First Presbyterian Church in Kalispell member, Joan Siderius. “Because they’ve been on watch for danger.”

Siderius volunteers at Serious JuJu, a worshiping community for skateboarders— and those who love them.

JuJu is an indoor skate park and food ministry. A shelter from the storms and crisis kids are having.

Our short experience in Kalispell was amazing, we were able to go for a run, test out our shower in our Airstream Rangeline and go enjoy some sun with our dogs Sprocket and Smalls. We went on a long walk to some abandoned old concrete thing and was able to get some cool shots of that. We continue to Polson Montana to stop at a skatepark and then to Missoula were we will stay the night.

The Montana Pond Hockey Classic is quickly becoming an annual tradition in Kalispell — winter just wouldn’t be the same without it. As one of only four venues in the country to host a Pond Hockey Classic Tournament, Kalispell’s classic hockey is surrounded by Montana’s picturesque landscape of rolling hills and beautiful mountain peaks. The three-day hockey tournament is essentially an all-things hockey festival with teams spread across multiple rinks under the big Montana sky and local vendors serving food and drink along the lake’s banks.

Nothing is better than outdoor hockey in Big Sky country — cold beer, playing on a frozen pond and good old-fashioned Montana hospitality in Kalispell.

So grab your buddies, register a team for the 2016 Montana Pond Hockey Classic and join Kalispell Convention & Visitor Bureau in “Bringing hockey back to the basics!”
