As tradition dictates, our March episode has a touch of “Madness” baked into it. I am joined by the instantly likable Matthew Zabransky, an accomplished filmmaker and photographer as well as the creator of MidwestSkiers.com. Matthew will get you fired up for spring skiing, being an ambassador of the sport and encouraging you to visit different ski areas on your next powder seeking travels.
We cover a ton of ground; Matthew’s love for skiing, the three main zones of Midwest skiing, the critical role of Snow Trails in Mansfield Ohio and medical school residency “roulette”, literal Champagne Powder (not just Steamboat’s trademark powder), Thank a Snowmaker Tour; Race to [and stay] Open Bracketology (with a little Trollhaugen inspiration?!), Pursuit of Soul II: Midwest Independence, the health of the Midwest ski industry (spoiler alert, it’s healthy!), regional passes and promotions, Midwest ski area noteworthy projects and updates, Midwest ski history, with three completely “maddening” trivia games mixed-in! Make sure to check out Bent Paddle Brewing Company in Duluth, Minnesota, Midwest Ski Areas Association, & MidwestSkiers.com Resort Guide.
Bottom-line, include a Midwest stop on your next ski trip!
