to clear some things up, not only did the Cuyahoga river here in Cleveland catch on fire in 1969, so did a river in Philly and Chicago lol

I ski on Griggs Resevoir in Columbus so I am immune to most diseases. Maybe up north for a party weekend and good sking down south.

The point of life is not to arrive in the grave in a well preserved body, but to slide in totally worn out shouting "holy sh#@ what a ride"

Paul;
Don't let those comments scare you off on the Northwest Suburb skiing. We have the best of both worlds up here. The Fox River is a GREAT place to ski and board early AM and weekdays. It is a 17 mile stretch of water that can't be beat for a good public waterway in the Chicago area, plus it does have some destinations on it. The Broken Oar in Cary is a good bar/restaurant/marina, and I will guarantee you the waitresses do not have skin rashes, at least not that I have observed 
Plus, I belong to a private ski club to get my slalom course fix on a private lake when things get a little busy on the river. Beautiful water. 2006 Nautique. Pretty driver/owner. slalom course. What more does a guy need???? Fox Lake aka "The Chain of Lakes" is fine during the week. However, the weekends are absolutely nuts on Saturday's and Sunday's. A good kind of nuts though. Lots of fun to get a group of people together and head to Blarneys. Anyway, try lots of different areas and see what works best for you when you get settled in. I would be happy to take you as a guest (as well as any other CCF'r) to the ski club so you can try it out. Dave |
