Here are the top ten reasons we ski in the Upper Midwest. Some may call them rationalizations, you be the judge!
#10
We can ski 40 runs or so a day, in Colorado you can only ski 20 or so (tops). Twice the runs here!
#9
After a hard day of skiing you can sit out on a lake and relax by ice fishing. I don’t recall too much ice fishing happening in Vail.
#8
Where else can you ski on so much man-made snow?
#7
The lift rides are not so long.
#6
One word: Oxygen
#5
Duh! We live here!
#4
In the early season can one watch the Packer game in a Colorado lodge? Unless they play the Donkey’s I don’t think so.
#3
One can only afford one expensive vacation every other year and this year it is to a warm and sunny place.
#2
No secret service agents ever get in our way (I never fall it was their fault)!
#1
Rahvles, Miller, et al. Do they ski on powder? Nope, they ski on hard snow, just like we have here in the Upper Midwest!
