Most of my family and many of my friends have worked at both hills that make up SnowRiver Mountain. I still remember helping my mom clean condos when I was a kid. So many memories over the years! The transformation that SnowRiver has made is nothing short of amazing.

I give you a lot of props, man. You are super into midwest skiing. I like how stoked you are. A hobby of mine is checking out trail maps (I know, kinda weird). But you talked about Mount Bohemia in a recent video and that place looks great for the midwest. Also, you obviously like Lutsen which seems like one of the best choices for the midwest. I feel very fortunate to be able to ski out here in CA (or sometimes I go to Cottonwoods or JH). Being able to surf and ski in the same day is unique. Keep up the midwest pride. That is what it is all about.

It’s what we do! Truthfully I love the Midwest. Sure the bigger areas are cool but being able to start my day (or end it) by taking a few quick laps before work is something I never take for granted.
The Midwest may have small skiing but I’d rather we skiing 4-5 days a week then only a couple times a month!
Appreciate the love ❤️ ❤❤

Will the East T be running on the regular at SRM? It's always been down when I've visited.

Instead of producer nick tries to stump us. It could be called Ski Stump.

Unfortunately we have already filed our trademark for Producer Nick Tries to Stump Us 😂

Producer Nick deserves to have his name in the title! He's the under the radar star of these blogs!@@MidwestSkiers
