Chicago/Quad-Cities meetup

December 29, 2006 5:34 PM

Chicago/Quad-Cities meetup - How about we Chicagoans celebrate winter by doing a ski meetup at one of the near(ish) ski hills? How about Chestnut in Galena? That would make it easy for quad cities folks too.

Also, don't worry if you've never ski'd, you undoubtledly won't be the only one.

There's also Wilmot Mountain, which is only an hour and a half outside Chicago.

When is good?

Eamon, have you been there? What's it like?

If people wanna make a mefi sleepover of it, some of these deals are good. Has there ever been a mefi sleepover?

I am cool with it but I am a beginner skiier so you have to be tolerant.

I will go if I can, although I'll be sticking to the bunny slopes.
