On Friday 8/14, Mad-City hosted a learn to ski day for members of the UCP of Dane County. For the team, it was a chance to share our enthusiasm for the sport with others, for the people learning to ski, it is an experience of a lifetime.

Channel 15, the local NBC affiliate, came by and produced a nice news story about the clinic which you can read about here. There is a video with the story as well… click on the link just below the headline.

The Capital Times has a great article about the us currently posted on their website. Shawn Doherty, one of the papers reporters, came down this past Sunday and watched our show, interviewed some of the skiers and members of the crowd.

Here’s a short excerpt of the article:

The Mad-City Ski Team’s weekly shows at Law Park near Monona Terrace are a beloved family tradition, and Sunday brought crowd of close to 150 people sitting on bleachers, blankets, lawn chairs and the muddy rocks along Lake Monona.

Stephanie Engelhart-Olson has been coming to shows as long as she can remember, and now the Madison resident’s children and grandchildren come as well for picnics and fun. “This is our Madison,” she said. “It’s where we’re from, and it’s what we know!”

Dave Hesthaven was bringing his two boys to the show for the first time. “Hey, it’s Sunday at Madison,” he said. “It’s summer and it’s a low-stress thing to do with the kids — as long as there’s a Porta Potty.” (There were six.)

Recently, WISC Channel 3 TV here in Madison interviewed our Show Director, Chris Coupland, on their “Live at Five” program on July 24, 2007.

Even though he was called “Steve” it was great for our team to get some publicity, especially on such a popular show!!
