Big brother.

Blake is feeding his younger brother. Its has been cold here in chicago. We finally have a few inches of snow. I have the itch to go downhill skiing back at my upstate ny haunt- Snow ridge. Back when I was skiing, snowridge boasted on no snow making equipment. This week, I am sure they have six plus feet. I need to check their site.
I just don't know how I would get to ny, or where in this flat midwest can I take the family skiing?
