RIP Mr. Oliva

It has been brought to the attention that a WISCO legend has passed away. Carmelo F. Oliva previous owner of Rib Mountain, now Granite Peak, in Wausau, WI. has died at the age of 77. Rib Mountain was the premier mountain in Wisconsin,, and produced many "WISCO" legends. I know that my mentor, Rick Elliott was a Rib Mountain native and is one of the best skiers I know. You will be Mr. Oliva, enjoy the untracked powder that awaits you in the next life! Our hearts our out to your family, though we know that you had a great life, and know that you are reserving first chair for your friends and loved ones, when that day comes. Thanks for all you've done for Wisconsin and the Mid West for letting us ride your mountain! Much Love - Sawickied

Hey all,

Hope everyone is having or did have a great ski year! Thank God mine and some very lucky others' is not! On April 1st Deep Powder House is kind enough to let their patrons use the High end demo ski's for nothing. Yep, Nada, Nichts, Rien, Niets, Ничего, Niente! I repeat nothing, so if you've tried some ski's and your thinking about buying them for next season, here's your chance. When figure out the ski's that are right for you, do yourself a favor and but from the DPH! Many thanks to the DPH for the offer and to the skiers that return the favor from one of Ski Magazines top 10 ski shops in North America! Much Love as always Sawicki!
