Galena Ski Resort

hey, my friend and I plan to take a holiday weekend in December and we'd either go skiing or stay in a lodge somewhere. I know there is a ski resort in Dubuque and Galena, but is there really anywhere else in Iowa that is worth going in winter? also, does anyone know of any stations in Iowa winter type that do or do not understand the skiing? Thank you!

1. This farm boy slope-shouldered did more work before breakfast than you do all week at the gym. How do you like to go home and tell your mom you got your butt kicked by a big guy in overalls?

2. This is called a "gravel road. No matter how slow you drive, you will get dust on your BMW. I have a four wheel drive because I need it. drive it or take it out of the track.

3. We all started hunting and fishing when we were nine. Yes, we saw Bambi. We have over her.

4. Any reference to "corn fed" when talking about our women will get your butt kicked ... by our women.

5. Go ahead and make your $ 600 Orvis Fly Rod. Do not cry for us if he stops at a flat handle. We have a name for the 13 inch small trout you fish for bait ....

6. Pull your pants. You look like an idiot.

7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final approach, we will shoot him. You can hope you do not have your ear at the time.

8. That's right. Whiskey is only two dollars. We can buy a fifth of what you paid at the airport.

9. The Hawkeyes and the Cyclones are as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks ... and a dang sight more fun to watch.

10. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Order rare. Or, you can order the Chef Salad and remove the two books of ham and turkey. Yes, we have sweet tea. It comes in a glass with two packets of sugar and a long spoon.

11. You bring Coke into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice.

12. So you have a car sixty thousand dollars. We're real impressed. We have a quarter of a million dollar combines that we use two weeks a year.

13. That the record straight. We have a red light in town. We stop when it is red. We can even stop when it is yellow.

14. Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks because they want to. So you're a feminist. Is not that cute.

15. Yes, we eat catfish, carp, and turtle too. You really want sushi and caviar? It is available in the bait shop.

16. They are pigs. That's what they smell. Get over it. Do not like it?
Interstate 80 goes two ways - 35 going to the other two. Choose one.

17. The opening "refers to the first day of pheasant hunting. This is a
religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November. You can have breakfast at the church.

18. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly.
Understand the concept?

19. Yes, we have golf courses. Do not hit the water hazards. He ghost fish.

20. No, we can not shoot pigeons. They are the songbirds. Okay, even we feel a bit stupid on this one.

Now, enjoy your visit and then go home.

Skiing in Galena is very popular, although I personally think that the lodge is a dump. Stay at a B & B instead.
There is no place to Sundown in Dubuque. You would be staying in a hotel or motel.

Just curious: Why Iowa winter? I mean - I can think of dozens of destinations in winter would be better than Iowa. No offense - I '.
