Holy crap! The first snow storm was a doozy. 9 inches of snow with 40 mph winds were pretty nasty. And in typical North Dakota fashion it rained a few days later to make the snow that was possibly golf course ridable is now bulletproof. Yeah I said golf course ridable. Our not so sweet hill to ride makes man made over any fresh snow we get. Meaning, I’d rather hike a golf course than pay $25 to go ride a chair so I can ski ice. I’d rather spend the money on beer. So, I guess my skis get a few more days to rest…
