LAKE GENEVA — Eddie Berg is a 15-year-old, who at the moment this story is being written, appears to have it all: Two days off of school due to harsh winter weather and a season pass to a local ski resort. What more could a teenage boy want, right? Besides a four-wheel drive vehicle, of course. A sophomore at Badger High School, Berg has been skiing and snowboarding most of his life.
