Midwest’s Ski Season Officially Underway
The Heartland — The Midwest’s ski season officially started yesterday, with Minnesota leading the way.
On Friday, Andes Tower Hills opened up its magic carpet for skiing and riding. This includes a few features for terrain park skiers and riders to rip. They kicked off the Midwest ski season with the national anthem, with a 92.5-year-old skier getting the first tracks. They are also open today from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., but their schedule from there has yet to be announced.
Today, Wild Mountain joined the party. The Minnesota ski area has Chair 1 and the Frontside Rope Tow spinning. Wild Mountain plans to be open today from 1-8 p.m., plus tomorrow from 1-8 p.m. Hours beyond that will be announced soon.
Some were wondering whether Trollhaugen would join the fiesta. The Minnesota ski area has produced lots of snow, but it won’t open today. They plan to keep making snow as conditions permit, which includes tonight. Technically speaking, they were the first to offer skiing this autumn thanks to their stored snow.
According to Midwest Skiers, some ski resorts in Wisconsin and Minnesota are making snow, with testing underway in Iowa and South Dakota.
