Ski Devil's Head, WI

Different day. Different ski field. Very different ie. excellent ski experience. The slope difficulty ratings were a little overestimated and we made it down ALL the runs including the double black diamond mogul hill.

Lesson learned this weekend: Any ski resort lacking accommodation is, by definition, not worth skiing a second day and therefore probably pretty poor overall.

Great Dane Pub

Apres ski venue: a brew pub in Madison, WI. The bison burgers with fried sweet plantains are highly recommended. The $1.50 sampler glasses are a great way to try the many many brews available. As a warning, approach the "Habanero Hellfire" wings with extreme caution (and an iron stomach).

Ski Cascade Mountain, WI

... or more accurately, wait-in-lift-queue-with-short-downhill-interludes Cascade Mountain.

Snow conditions: Fresh snow on packed ice.
Difficulty rating: Bunny-level
Popularity rating: Overpopulated
