Skiing at Buck Hill

from flickr user Poppyseed Bandits
Buck Hill (In Burnsville, MN alongside Interstate 35) is supposedly where Minnesota (or Colorado) native and Olympic downhill skier Lindsey Vonn cut her teeth on the slopes. I honestly don't think of a ski hill which nearly propels skiers on to a freeway as the place where a future Olympic athlete would learn his or her sport but it just proves that Lindsey Vonn is definitely from Minnesota. Or not.
