About this listen
This discussion explores how independent ski areas, particularly in the Midwest, are strategically transforming their operations to thrive year-round, moving beyond just winter sports. Driven by factors like unpredictable weather and a need for stable finances, these areas are diversifying their summer offerings with activities like mountain biking, hiking, water features, events, and camps. The Ski Area Recreational Opportunity Enhancement Act of 2011 played a key role in facilitating this shift, and these initiatives are often funded through a mix of grants, private investment, and vital community support. This adaptation not only creates sustainable revenue streams and jobs but also strengthens the connection between the ski area and its local community.
