| Re: Skiing If you don't mind just simply down hill skiing and riding the lift like 5,000,000 times, I think there's skiiing in Bemidji.

| Re: Skiing There is ABSOLUTELY NO SKIING IN THIS AREA. NO SKIING. Unless you want to cross country ski across the lovely prairie. You can do a nice little day trip to CA, UT, CO, WY, or MT for skiing in your dad's private jet, but that's it.

| Re: Skiing Giants Ridge north of Duluth is pretty nice as well. Its not as popular as Spirit Mountain or Lutsen, so the crowds may be less depending on the day. |

| Re: Skiing Also, if you like skiing you may want to try snowkiting... I've been wanting to try for a long time. I better do it before the snow melts...this is the very last time I get to see the flat prairie of North Dakota.

| Re: Skiing Breckenridge is amazing. I went out there two years ago, and really enjoyed it. Have fun out there. By the way, how much snow do you guys have up in Grand Forks? I talked to my mom back in Northern IL, and I guess they have at least a foot of snow right now, and they are calling for 2-3 more inches tonight. All the while, I'm gearing for weather that is going to be in the 50s and 60s next weekend here in Southern IL. I can't wait. |

| Re: Skiing We don't have a damn thing up here compared to the rest of the midwest. I'd say MAYBE 4 inches packed sitting on the ground right now.

We don't get much snow here because it's too cold for it to snow. No...I'm serious...really!
