Wisconsin’s Perpetual Silly Season

By: In: The Sharp Edge

As many of you are well aware, Wisconsin has been a hot front in the ongoing political war. In fact, it has been one perpetual political campaign, and that is not going to let up until at least next fall, and even then who knows?

As I have made perfectly clear I am firmly on one side of these fights but I keep that stuff off-limits here at The Wisconsin Skier, the only parties I want to talk about here are Après-ski or at worst the Snowboarders vs. the Skiers. That said be aware you are likely to see the advertising from the combatants sooner or later. In addition, you may see political advertisements here from a former Florida representative who is apparently going to try to reclaim his old seat.

I really don’t care and do not plan to take any steps to encourage or discourage the advertisements from my side or not-my side. Whatever you do, don’t think I as the Wisconsin Skier am taking sides, I am hoping to take money.

The Politics of Skiing

By: In: The Sharp Edge

I am politically opinionated and active. I bet by reading this site you could not tell, huh?

Quite simply put, every time I have read the disclaimers, terms, conditions, warnings, and other fine print I come across while skiing — I have yet to see anything binding me to a particular political platform. I bet you have yet to see that too.

Mind you, I am talking about the politics of governance of society, that is, the whole Republican vs. Democrat thing. I am not talking about members of the local ski club bickering about where to have the big trip.
