This is our year-end highlight clip that was put together for our banquet.  Its long!  But, very enjoyable, thanks to Eric Wedige for putting this great video together.  Enjoy our journey from early spring all the way through the end of the summer.

From our Photo Gallery Pages, via Jim’s Photo’s, we have a couple new gallery’s posted.

The first gallery is pictures from our annual Ski Team Banquet, our annual celebration of our ski season. This year we had an awful lot to celebrate! Check out the pictures!

Mad-City Ski Team 2007 Banquet

Our second new gallery is of us finally getting our jump out of the water! The high waters made removing our jump from Lake Monona a difficult process and we were finally able to get to it Saturday morning. As the pictures can attest, our jump had a couple issues as a result of the high water, enjoy!!

Stay tuned to our Multi-Media page as our 35-minute season re-cap highlight video is coming soon!!

All the rain in Madison and the surrounding areas ended Mad-City’s ski season rather abruptly. Following our performance at the National Ski Tournament just over three weeks ago, we returned to Madison excited and looking forward to performing back on Lake Monona.

However, Mother Nature had other ideas as high winds and rainy conditions canceled our first show, post-championship.

Those of you that live in the area know what came next, days and days of rain, which subsequently caused the lake levels in the area to rise up to near-record heights and cause thousands of dollars in damage to the surrounding area.

For us, the Mad-City Ski Team, it also caused the abrupt end to our ski season. One of our most successful and enjoyable years ever!!

While it is incredibly disappointing to have our season end on this wet and dreary note, we also understand the circumstances surrounding the decision to keep our lakes Slow-No-Wake, to prevent any further damage to the shoreline and peoples property.

We will certainly be rearing and ready to go in 2008!!

The Mad-City Ski Team thanks everyone who came out to see our ski show and supported our team this year!!

After the jump is our pictorial of our ski site and the effects the high water has had. We have added two more photo gallery’s on the Mad-City Picasa Site

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!!
