still hate me for that.
Oh yeah...I actually used to work at Marquette Mountain as a ski school director. Even in the winter I rode my MTB most days. Yeah, it was a little nutzo, but it was only 3 miles one way, and once you're bundled even da UP cold isn't that cold.
I sure miss that place. Marquette is now a freeride mountain biker's heaven! Huge manmade jumps like you see in videos of BC. Crazy, crazy stuff all through da woods there. Good times!
