Wisconsin Skiing - December 2014



We arrived!  We're here!  And boy howdy is it cold.  We arrived in Wausau, WI this afternoon (after a short 5 hour drive) to a balmy 3F ... now friend, that is cold no matter where you are or where you're from.  Brrrr

We're staying in the Stoney Creek Lodge which has a pool, hot tub & sauna ~ I'm sure the older Duffy's will be utilizing the hot tub & sauna each night in hopes of easing the aches & pains after a day filled with skiing.  We decided to use today as a travel day & organization day.  We familiarized ourselves with the area (eating options, local grocery store & as a just in case, the local hospital).  We drove to the slopes to pick up all our gear & to review the ski options.  We each have a map of the slopes & our 'meet-up' point if we get separated.  I think Kevin said there is over 70 slopes; the girls & I will let you know after tomorrow.


We enjoyed a meal tonight at Wausau Mine Company.  It wasn't the best meal we've ever had, but the scenery was pretty cool, the people were nice, and there wasn't a long wait.



Kevin enjoyed a local Ale & we split some Cheese Curds (the girls wouldn't touch the cheese)
Currently, Brittney & Kevin are enjoying the pool area, while Sophie & I are planning on an early night!  I'll post pictures & updates as the week progresses.  We are so excited - yeah!
