I grew up in Wisconsin where we have Friday night fish fry’s, the nations largest music festival (Summerfest), Harley Davidson, we are America’s Dairyland, the nations largest water park (Noah’s Ark), Laura… Ingalls Wilder and the Ringling Brothers, House on the Rock, and 14,000 Lakes. And then lets not forget the Great Beer, The Green Bay Packers and Cheese. I grew up in Wisconsin where you can Fish, Hunt, water ski, and snowmobile sometimes all in one week! We have big trucks and big dreams, a bubbler is something you drink from and a water fountain is something you throw a penny in and make a wish. Gotta love a summer night tailgating at the Brewer game, or driving up to camp randall to watch the bagers whoop some ass. Wisconsin! > Any other state

I found this quote while pondering through the Facebook newsfeed, where everyone basically puts their bullshit. I found this very particular though, and to think of what Wisconsin, the state I grew up in, really truly is. Looking at the big picture its awesome to think of what your State makes up of you and the people around you. Yeah, for sure people go hunting, water ski, and snowmobile. Thats just what we do, and thats why we call it Wisconsin!

Happy Thanksgiving Wisconsin!

Crazy to think that the season is pretty much two weeks away for most mountains here in Wisconsin, including: Nordic Mountain, Sunburst, Cascade, Tyrol Basin. I swear it seemed like a few weeks ago we were back in september with the immense warmth we had. Its great to have my favorite season soon approaching. 

Now that its cold, I refer to this as hoodie weather. Rocking a hoodie on a daily basis is only a regular of mine, along with a beanie or other winter hat(s). Taking to the cold is something I don’t totally admire but it brings something that I love and enjoy which is SNOW. Skiing is where it all goes down during the frozen season. 

Pretty mellow plans for they year as far as I know. Hopefully if I can find my flip camera in one of the numerous houses I’ve lived in this past summer I’ll be doing weekly video updates, as well as posts like this. I plan to take a trip up to Rib Mountain and shred Granite Peak with some friends which should probably be the highlight of the season. I’ll most likely be hitting the features on the weekends due to work every night (M-F). I had high expectations for attending the annual UWM Ski and Snowboard Club trip. but I couldn’t pull the money out this year, well and didn’t meet the deadline. Would of been a fun time, but something I won’t regret.

Upon the coming season I’ve got close to all my gear in check. I’m looking towards a successful season meeting new people, learning new tricks, and hopefully filming! Have it be as spontaneous as any other season in the past. One thing for sure is having fun and being adventurous won’t leave the picture.
