Hometown Mountain Shoutout: Snowy Range Ski Area, WY-My Hidden Gem - SnowBrains
"Everyone knows the feeling. The energy that is too much to contain builds up all week while you watch weather reports and chase storms online-even going to the extent of camping in the parking lot to cherish those first turns. We all search for that place that feels special. That place that feels like ours. For me, that hidden gem turned out to be Snowy Range Ski Area, Wyoming."
"Medicine Bow Butte National Forest, which receives an annual snowfall of 250 inches, offers access to 250 acres of skiable terrain, 33 trails, a terrain park, and has a vertical drop of 865 feet. It's the kind of mountain where one can push into progression. There's room to learn (10 green runs), room to explore (15 blue runs), and room to push yourself when you're ready (8 black runs)."
