  With Thanksgiving break coming quickly, it is time to start thinking of things to do with so much free time. Luckily for Idaho Falls, in the winter months, snow comes unexpectedly and rapidly, which means it is time for skiing and snowboarding! One of the most popular ski resorts in Idaho is Kelly Canyon Ski Resort. Kelly Canyon is an entertaining, memorable place that brings joy to many people during the winter months; it is a friendly place for friends and families . Skiing and snowboarding can only be enjoyed during a limited time, which makes many people love this time of year and value these sports more. In order to make it more enjoyable, Kellys has decided to add a three-seater chair-lift. This new lift, according to East Idaho News, is said to be well-known for night rides, with a beautiful view and scenery following the whole ride down. It is unknown where the lift will be placed, but it has been confirmed that the resort is adding the lift to eliminate extensive wait times, which has been a problem for two or three years.  
  This is the first new improvement that Kelly Canyon has made in decades. Skytrac, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, has been involved with ski lifts and resorts when it comes to improvements that need to be made, they are rich in ski lift history, and they are preparing for one of the most difficult construction years ever. To add to this exciting addition Kelly Canyon will be holding a social media contest on what to name the new lift. This will involve the community in this exciting new season. 
  Kelly Canyon has brought the Idaho Falls community together in regards to the energy that has been put into the resort, as well as the love and spirit when it comes to winter and these two sports. Improvement and change has been much needed for several years, this will give Kellys a whole new audience.
