As Mt. La Crosse celebrates its 65th year, Darcie Breidel has been there more than half that time. The executive director joined La Crosse Talk this week to tell stories, as we tried to convince her to steal the snow machine and bring it to town in July.One of the stories Breidel told was of the UW-La Crosse Marching Band playing and skiing down the hill — a video that just resurfaced on YouTube.

Breidel admitted the No. 1 movie at her house is not Ski School, but that skiing is just as cool as snowboarding and Mt. La Crosse can help newbies with both.

Last season was warm and difficult for the ski hill, but Mt. La Crosse has been open a week already and the new snow machines are working their magic.

Breidel admitted she has contemplated taking the ski hill groomer home after the mountain closes because she doesn’t have a 4×4. She, however, has yet to bring the snow machine home in July to confuse her neighbors. But she would like to take over a city street some day.

She also said keep your ears peeled for a 65th Anniversary celebration some time this season.
