Northern Illinois ... where to ski?
Never had to ask this before, but where are the hot spots around Zion, Antioch,
etc to ski? We may get enough here in Milwaukee, but it's going to be a stretch. I'll take a reconaissance drive in a few hours, check out Racine and Kenosha counties. jw milwaukee |

Northern Illinois ... where to ski?
Just got back from local Whitnal Park, 3 miles from home. About 4 inches right
now and snowing hard. Only saw one set of tracks on the golf course, but the sledding hill was jammed including some joker with a motorized snowboard. Was interesting for about 5 minutes, then it was just anoying. :^] I took the Waxless Visu's but didn't bother spraying them with silicone ... got rewarded with lots of icing on the humid snow (28F). Oh well. Since the wind had a pretty good bite, I headed for the friendly woods where the nature trails provided for a nice tour with a steady falling of floating flakes. Still have two more days of vacation so I'll look for grooming tomorrow. I was suprised to see that the club house still had golf equipment out rather than the ski rentals that they've had since I was a kid (looooong time ago). End of an era? I wouldn't be suprised if there wasn't any grooming on the golf course since the county layed off a bunch of workers in the fall. Oh well, will just have to ski a track in! John Wilke Milwaukee |
