In the afternoon we took a walk to the main building of the resort, just to check out what was available - took a picture of yet another fountain, enhanced by some visiting beauty (if we can't find rocks, beauty and fountains is good).
After lunch another walk - this time to the "Ski Lodge". Yes indeed there is a 'downhill' ski area attached to the property. Of course this being in somewhat flat Wisconsin it is not exactly on a par with some of the more well known ski areas in the country.
You are looking at the 'black diamond' run. We estimate it is about 75 meters high and maybe 100 meters long. We opted not to climb to the top as that area of the resort was closed and supposedly 'off limits'.
Day ends as always. Drinks on the deck and dinner. Lots of rest required as tomorrow will be a long day.

Well black run or not, you'd be amazed at how well some people can learn to ski at places like this! When I coached, the kids all learned to ski and race on a mountain only a bit bigger than this in, a little less flat Michigan, and they were amazing!
Looks like a cute little town, nice fountains and presumably good little shops!
Looking forward to reading more...

See, I probably could have learned to ski if that's what our slopes looked like. Doesn't seem to intimidating! I bet even Mom could handle this one :)
