Where snow machines go to die

It's a little hard to see, but there are about 20 snow making machines
in this field. I guess you stop making snow when the temperature hits
50. It was a great day for skiing or for running. I chose the latter.
The nice woman at the desk Showed me a route on the resort map that
she said was about 8 miles. When I asked her if the route was flat she
said yes. Wrong on both counts! The route was 5.8 with a 300 foot
climb - twice! I know, that's not too bad, unless you run in Chicago
where the only change in elevation is when you go under lake shore
drive. I'll stop complaining, though, because it was beautiful. And I
saw these snow machines, too.
