The Special Olympics Wisconsin Winter Games took place recently at Nine Mile Forest in Rib Mountain, Wisconsin. The Special Olympics competition is always an exciting event, but it was particularly special this year as it was cancelled the previous two years due to weather conditions. Athletes come from all over the state to participate in sports like alpine and cross country skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing.
