Wisconsin Oriented Websites.

Alert: Some self promotion going on here.

Anyway. I want to alert the Wisconsin web surfer to two Wisconsin oriented sites that have popped up in the recent past. The first one mentioned I brought online about a week ago (or so) and the second has been online for sometime but radically updated a couple of months ago.

The first one is: The Wisconsin Skier.

Why have I created this website?

Simple, to serve those of you who love to ski but can not afford frequent trips to the ski havens. Yes, we all want to ski in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, California, Vermont, New York, Europe, Canada, South America etc; but not all can afford frequent trips to those areas (even annual or less frequent trips may be out of line for many of us). For many of us, skiing means heading to one of the hills in Wisconsin or in this Upper Midwest.

No doubt, those of you who ski frequently in Aspen, Whistler, Mad River, etc; look down on our puny hills. Yes, I understand our hills are small and our runs short, but it is all we have and for those who have not been to a ski haven it is just fine.

The main vision I have is for those of who spend most of our ski dollars here in the Upper Midwest have a place where everyone understands our situation. We want to hang with those who understand that a person's first run down Big Bear is an accomplishment and not saying "Oh Big Bear is just a green run at the XYZ Mountain in Colorado".

The second one involves a choir some friends and I hosted last fall. The University of Santo Tomas Singers in Wisconsin Website. The concert was wonderful and the UST-Singers did themselves, the Philippines, the Fox Valley, and Wisconsin proud.

Back to our originally scheduled programming.
