For the second year in a row the Ice Caves of the Apostle Islands are set to open on Saturday. The National Park Service is warning that conditions will be slippery and windy. We recommend that you pack water, a camera and wear YakTrax or IceTrekkers for added traction and use lightweight trekking poles. We love the Tubbs two and three piece snowshoe poles. Stop in the shop and pick up your supplies.
Despite our best efforts to run the Book It Free Fun Race and the new Book IT Sprints; mother nature won. The morning was sub zero, blowing snow and frigid even by northern Wisconsin standards. There's always next year! Check out the video Alan shot the morning of Book Across the Bay.
Until next year....happy skiing!
Reviewer: Alan We all have a few pieces of clothing in our wardrobes that we could not imagine living without. Some are practical, some are sentimental, and some are both. Some, like my Patagonia Better Sweater, could tell some pretty good stories.
Part of the reason for that is that it gets worn all the time. Hardly a day goes by that I don't slip it on for something. I wear it when I split a little firewood or take out the recycling. I wear it when I walk the dog. It has been a pillow on airplanes and kept me warm on early trout stream mornings in Wisconsin, Montana, and beyond.
If I'm outside and my Better Sweater isn't on, you can bet it's in my rucksack. In the place that I live, and most of the places I visit, the old timers say that if you don't like the weather just wait a few minutes. Your clothing needs to be adaptable! I love my Better Sweater because it is simple and versatile. It is warm enough for fall sailing and stylish enough for the Pub.
