Midwest Friendly Ski Talk
By: The Wisconsin Skier In: Resorts, Skiing2. The Midwest. Most people don’t view the Midwest as skiing country, but cold-weather states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota are built for winter sports. Maybe other events like snowmobiling and icefishing are a little more popular, but there are plenty of opportunities to find good winter skiing in the Midwest. The Midwest is also home to some large population centers, so you don’t have to stray too far from large airports to go on a great skiing trip.
You know, I have had a few things to say about this!

Lots of Ski Resorts Out There
By: The Wisconsin Skier In: Resorts, Skiing, The Last RideI see local ski clubs typically plan trips to resorts to places such as Breckenridge, Snowmass, Alta, Aspen, etc. All big name resort and all destination resorts. I guess that helps with marketing and most people know of those resorts. After all, they feature in the news on a regular basis especially when we see stories of celebrities or other public figures skiing or snowboarding at these resorts.
There is no doubt, the resorts feature world class skiing, but it is more than just skiing that makes many resorts world class and that is why I suggest when planning a getaway ski trip to consider other resorts that may not be as well known but offer skiing just as good as the world class locations.

Wilmot Mountain vs. Lake County IL
By: The Wisconsin Skier In: News, Resorts, SkiingJust picked up on this Chicago Tribune Story:
Generations of local skiers have perched atop the slopes of Wilmot Mountain, waiting their turn among the crowd of novices, children and old pros before swooping down to the lodge.Since 1938, Chicago-area skiers have flocked to the modest resort, happy to find quality runs just across the Wisconsin border.
At least they thought it was across the Wisconsin border.
That’s been called into question by the resort’s next-door neighbor in Illinois, the Lake County Forest Preserve District. Forest preserve officials say a land survey shows that the top of one of Wilmot Mountain’s steepest and most popular hills contains a tiny sliver of property that juts into an Illinois forest preserve and rightly belongs to the taxpayers of Lake County.
Here we go, a property battle. Normally, I would say Wilmot Mountain has the upper hand, but seeing who their opponent is, I am not so optimistic.

Main Street Cafe — Breakfast Review
By: The Wisconsin Skier In: Resorts, SkiingLast weekend I was on a serious search for a new breakfast joint after the demise of the breakfast at The Y-Knot and at The Brule River Tap. Fortunately we found a good place, but unfortunately it was in Iron River and that place in Iron River is The Main Street Cafe and is the subject of this review.
Still the extra drive was well worth it. We wandered around for a while and found the joint and found the parking for the place and went in. We were seated immediately and waited a bit for our coffee service and we got it along with menus. I did not think too much of the coffee one way or another but in the morning I need that coffee and if it tastes good then that is a bonus. The menus required some searching as the menu covered morning, noon, and night. Eventually the breakfast items were located and it was time for business.

Indianhead Suggestion
By: The Wisconsin Skier In: Resorts, Skiing, The Sharp EdgeAs I have made known, I skied at Indianhead recently. I like Indianhead a lot, the lodging is super, the skiing is not too bad, the taverns they run both on the bottom and at the top of the hill are great.
However, they need to replace at least that old quad-chair with maybe a high speed chair, doesn’t have to be a high speed quad or even a high speed triple chair, but we spent a lot of time on that chair even though we did not have lift lines.
