I'm Zach Johns, and I'll be your Iron Range Ski Getaway Guide this season.
I've skied all over the country and I’m here to tell you that the Iron Range has THE best ski resort in the Midwest – Giants Ridge! Besides being one of the best places to take your family on a ski getaway, the snow conditions and the grooming at Giants Ridge are second-to-none! I’m totally stoked for ski season all year long and love to blog about my ski adventures with my two boys, who also enjoy shredding the slopes with me!

Catch me on the slopes at Giants Ridge and be sure to check back here often for up-to-date snow conditions, photos, video and more! Plus, download my latest podcasts to your iTunes browser.
