- Snow falls.
Winter begins.
Winter in Wisconsin
traces a new path.
Charts a new trail.
A season of frosted landscapes
that last but a day.
Icy blue vistas, atop the waters.
And deep green pines framed in snowy white.
It's brisk.
It's bracing.
And it's a wonder to behold.
A season like no other.
A view of the state like no other.

- We all know it's coming.
That first real snowfall.
The colors of autumn faded long ago.
And a new season begins.
Fresh white blankets the ground.
And the familiar path
becomes a new trail.
Winter in Wisconsin doesn't really feel...
here,
until that first snow.
There are bound to be many chilly mornings ahead,
and more snowfalls to come,
but there's something about that first one,
something about a Wisconsin winter that always seems...
just a little magical.

- Winter can challenge the heartiest of souls.
Cabin fever is real.
And there's no denying the bite
of a 20° below wind chill.
But in Wisconsin,
we don't shut down for a little weather.
Two feet of new snow is just
one more reason to get out into it.
And, well,
the trail is calling.
