sexkitten Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Snowboarding in June in Wisconsin town 1 hour, 1 minute ago Here's the catch: The snow is leftover from March. The operators of Badlands Sno-Park outside Hudson saved about 10 acres of snow that fell in March in a ravine east of Hudson and covered it with tarps. It will be hauled out in about seven semi-truck loads and spread out Friday for two or three days of snowboarding at the St. Croix County park, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "It's going to be fun. This is the first time we've tried it," said Maggie Hall, who owns and operates the park with her brother, Pat Kinney. "We are going to start summer out on a snow bank ? in swimsuits." The park is on the siblings' 120-year-old family farm. About 35 years ago, their parents turned part of the farm into a sledding hill to help support their 11 kids. In the mid-1990s Hall and her brother added snowboarding, Hall said. She expects about 30 snow boarders Friday and about 150 Saturday. Hudson is about a half-hour drive across state lines from Minneapolis. ___ Quote
