Chicago Part 3: Wilmot Mountain
February 9, 2007
Been busy getting ready for the new year, with the cleaning and tidying and whatnot. I’m SO behind on my trip posts. BLEH
Since it didn’t snow in Chicago while I was there, Rob drove a couple hours to Wilmot Mountain where there’s a ski and snowboarding area. We went on new year’s eve so the place was kinda busy. I enjoyed the roadtrip though, because I got to see a lot of the countryside e.g. farms, lakes, parks etc.

This is Lake Marie, one of my favorite pictures from the roadtrip.

As you can see, the snow is melting off because it just wasn’t cold enough to snow.
I didn’t try skiing or snowboarding as I did not have the proper clothes and they require first-timers to take lessons and it wasn’t cheap. Even walking on the snow was “hazardous” with my boots. Kept feeling like I would slip and fall on my ass, like I did on the ice skating rink during the Winter WonderFest. HEH
And so….
The camwhoring starts…
I made a snowball!
See, it’s just crushed ice
Snow on my bare hands, I’m actually gritting my teeth cos it was SO cold

Berlagak! (Showing off)
I like this picture. Rob looks like a kid. Isn’t he cute?!
RRRAARRRRRRR or something like that
Yes, I’m attempting to pee like a dog.
We stayed and played for about 2.5 hours before leaving. I must say I was reluctant to leave because it was a lot of fun just playing in the snow. We had a little snow fight too. I tried to make a snowman but failed miserably because I didn’t know how!!!! We only had a pair of waterproof gloves anyway.
Saying byebye to Wilmot
