Do not pass go
Feel like you want to take a risk or stir up a little trouble on the big stage in front of thousands of your possibly inebriated neighbors? Then don’t forget to checker out the 2025 Snowdown Follies auditions.
Skit auditions take place 6 p.m., Wed., Dec. 4, at the Doubletree Hotel. Folks are asked to arrive half an hour early to fill out paperwork. Chorus line auditions will be held from 12 noon – 4 p.m. Sat., Dec. 7, at The Dance Studio at the Smiley Building.
Since 1984, Snowdown Follies have enjoyed a virtual monopoly on the annual five-day, cabin-fever bacchanal. This year’s event, a board game theme (in case you didn’t get the clue), takes place Jan. 24 – Feb. 1, 2025.
Follies skits don’t necessarily have to be theme-related, with many acts a trivial pursuit of local personalities or news events. All are welcome to try out, but organizers say if you’re not organized you could be sorry.
Music must be submitted in advance and can be emailed to doug@eaglesoundstudio .com with “Follies” and the group leader’s name in the subject line.

There’s about to be another reason to pull off 1-70 in Idaho Springs other than Beau Jo’s pizza. Work began last week on a $58 million gondola that will haul people 1,300 feet up the mountain from the historic Argo Mill in town.
