The best Midwest ski resorts for a weekend getaway on the slopes
Whether you're going with kids or your partner, these are the top Midwest ski resorts to check out

The Midwest is known for many things -- endless cornfields, die-hard football fans, and some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. But while skiing may not be the first thing that comes to mind, the Midwest is home to some surprisingly impressive ski resorts that are ideal for winter enthusiasts. There are plenty of well-known ski towns in the Midwest, including the town of Ishpeming in northwestern Michigan, which is credited with being the so-called birthplace of organized skiing in America, as the original home of the National Ski Association, created in 1905 -- and now known as US Ski & Snowboard.

Remember, though, Midwestern winters can include extreme conditions, so be ready for bone-chilling winds and icy temperatures with the best ski and snowboard jackets and the best ski gloves in your snow sports arsenal. You'll also want to make sure your skis are good to go. After all, many experts say showing up with the right ski gear is the most important part of a day on the slopes. "When driving down an icy mountain road, it is reassuring to know your car is fitted with snow tires and fully functional brakes," said ski instructor Marco Furio in an interview with New Generation. "The same concept can be applied to skiing. The sport is about learning to trust your equipment and its capabilities, as well as your own."
