ISU graduate and former Pebble Creek ski instructor publishes children’s book

SU graduate and former Pebble Creek ski instructor publishes children’s book POCATELLO — A former Pebble Creek ski instructor and Idaho State University graduate has published a book to inspire young children to have the confidence to learn to ski. Josh Kent, the author of the book titled “Send It Sally Goes Skiing,” said in emails to the Idaho State Journal that he graduated from ISU back in 2005. He worked as a ski instructor for Pebble Creek during his years in college. “Those days at The Rock inspired me to write ‘Send It Sally Goes Skiing,’” Kent said in the emails. “Send It Sally Goes Skiing” is a rhyming book for children ages 2 to 10. It follows its title character, Sally, and her friends as they have fun skiing on the mountain. “It’s all about courage, confidence and having fun on snow,” Kent said in the emails. “I wrote it to inspire my niece to rip after teaching her three older brothers to charge.” Since the book has been published, it has made its way to the shelves of many ski lodges, including Pebble Creek, where it is on display for parents who want to sign their children

Lace Up For Holiday-Season Skating At The Joe Marmo/Wayne Lehto Ice Arena In Idaho

The ice sheet here measures 85 feet by 190 feet. That’s a lot of room to wobble, glide, and pretend you meant to do that spin. Skates are waiting at the rental counter, so nobody needs to own a pair. A snack bar sits nearby for warm-up breaks between laps.

Fourteen years later, Rebecca would help lead a movement that made Idaho the fourth state in the nation to grant women the right to vote. The 48-year-old Illinois woman had come out West in hopes of being a missionary. Her husband had died 26 years earlier, leaving her a widow at age 22 with t...
