Patrick and I just moved back to the land of 100000000 lakes. Spending the last 7 plus years of our lives skiing and experiencing the "ski bum" lifestyle, Minnesota brings a new perspective about a sport we are truly passionate about. Patrick and I currently work at Buck Hill Ski Area located in Burnsville, Minnesota, the same mound of glacial remains that we were both raised two planking at the tender age of two. Being back in the Midwest has left Pat and I in awe of the passion the folks around this area have for skiing, wether paying for your lift ticket with dimes and nickels, or spending 8 hours of your Sunday lapping Americas longest magic carpet... Passionate, incredible, remarkable, Minnesota...

This blog was built for Patrick and I to share our perspective of a sport we soo, sooo much love... And also a quick reminder to those living/working at some of Americas top resorts to appreciate what they have, some folks out there rock jeans and starter jackets on a daily basis and have a bigger shit grin on their face than pros nuking lines in Greenland off of Redbull choppers that they didn't have to pay squat for. So keep that in mind next time you pass up a day because its too cold or the 6 inches of freshies last night don't meet your standards, there is someone out there who is having fun sliding down a hill that has less vertical than your lodge. Either way, stay stoked, keep smiling, and remember, we all love this sport from super beginner to Ninja Assassin Switch Uber Green Beret Seal Skier dude...

Cheers!
