What up mid-west!
I'm going to Augie for College next year, and wondered if anyone over there skis? I'm from CO and don't know if I can stand a year without shredding at all...

HELP!

chesnut is good, cascade is usually really good too, they hold the midwest open up there so they have a nice park as well and the big nut is at chesnut so they maintain their shit tight too

thts ironic. people dream bout goin to college where you live. guess the tables have turned. however, like stated above chestnut will be ur be the best option. but dont be afraid to come shred around the southern wi areas. small mts but big hearts and great vibes.
