Hugh Hewitt On Ice IV: The Hills ARE Alive

He's been in an ice house on a frozen lake, on the ice at a hockey arena, and on a snowmobile whipping across a frozen lake with temps well below zero. And now for this year's version of Hugh Hewitt On Ice, to be held this Friday February 11th, he'll be appearing at...

...a ski hill?

Okay, it's not really ice per se, but it is a winter sport and it is outdoors. Unfortunately, we've been experiencing unseasonably warm weather lately, and, even though the temps have dropped back down to wintery levels in the last couple of days, the forecast for Friday is for highs in the low to mid-thirties. Not exactly the Artic blast that we'd like to welcome a couple of California softies like Hugh and Duane. We'll have to see if we can hit 'em with a snow making machine to make sure they get a taste of ol' Man Winter.

Come on down to Buck Hill in Burnsville (right off 35W) to catch all the action. Rumor has it that Duane is quite the gnarly airdog and that he'll be pulling nose manuals and ollies, rinsing the QP, and may even gap Jay Larson. Doing it all one-footy of course. Let's hope that the flamboyant weezy doesn't crater or get into a fraggle.

Hugh meanwhile is a an ol' pops hoedad who likely won't leave the comfort of the shack, although I wouldn't be surprised if he squeezes in a ganjala ride if he gets a chance.

(Let's see Google Ads put that in their half pipe and smoke it.)

The fun starts at 5pm as Hugh will be broadcasting live from the chalet. Coffee and hot chocolate will be available and I wouldn't be surprised if Atomizer didn't show up hoping to be "rescued."
