118 Things To Do This Winter

Revel in Montana's shortest, coldest and loudest parade, the 2006 Lunar New Year Parade in Butte, which starts at 3 p.m. at the courthouse on Feb. 4, chases away evil spirits with a massive dragon and ends with the lighting of 10,000 fireworks.

Erect a nativity scene on the courthouse lawn in the middle of the night. The next morning, sue to have it removed.
Cut down-ahem, thin-your own Christmas tree.

Go Christmas caroling, bring a tank of helium, sing only songs from the Christmas with the Chipmunks albums.

Wear your Chacos to a tanning salon; amaze your friends with a golden December glow.

Make a snow devil.

Round up the neighborhood kids and reenact classic Atari games like Space Invaders, Centipede and Missile Command with snowballs.

Try an eHike through Glacier National Park, available at www.nps.gov/glac/eHikes.htm. Beware of evalanches.

Stick your tongue to a flagpole. Alternately, double-dog-dare the person next to you to stick his tongue to a flagpole.

Take a full-moon hike.

Join an ice-fishing derby.

Catch a snowflake on your tongue.

Turn yourself into a snowball by rolling down a long, snowy hill. If you can't handle the intensity, ensconce yourself in a garbage can.

Build a snow shelter, and don't be afraid to venture beyond the traditional dome design. How about a three-room igloo? How about a Tudor mansion?

Snowmobile in Yellowstone.

Protest snowmobiling in Yellowstone.
