Antelope Butte wraps up season 

Blanketed in fresh snow, the Big Horn Mountains welcomed outdoor enthusiasts to celebrate the closing weekend of the 23/24 winter season at the Antelope Butte Mountain Recreation Area.
Two days of events and live music entertained those who journeyed up the mountain. The lodge and hill was a flurry of activity — one thought they walked into the 1980s with the panorama of clothing sported by guests and employees. Hulk Hogan made an appearance. Dangling neon earrings, wigs, vintage T-shirts, and big big hair. Complete with a costume contest. 
A highlight of the weekend was Saturday’s pond skim. Contenders were challenged to ski or snowboard down the hill and successfully make it across a man-made pond, carved out of the snow and filled with the water from Granite Creek. A thrilling event to watch and even more to compete.
