“The skiings not good here. These people have been out west, they know that, but they just don’t give a shit.”

Got to love the thriving ski race culture in the middle of the country. Say what you will about the terrain, but the folks in Minnesota know how to make the most out it. Warms my heart to know these hearty midwesterners are out there freezing their heinies off for that 10th of a second to brag about at the bar. THE BEST.

“The perfect day at Buck Hill I picture that crisp clear day, zero degrees, bright sun, perfect corduroy, and not too many people around because it’s zero degrees but its perfect race conditions to get out there and rip some turns.”
