Skiing and snowboarding at a resort provides freedom and escape. You can turn and glide to your heart’s content, free from obligations and stress. During a powder day, the cushioned sensation is like nothing else, letting you flow and float over everything in your path. It’s just you and the mountain.

But sometimes you want more. Even at a big mountain, you have limited terrain options, and fresh snow can get tracked out fast. What if you had abundant mountains to explore, untouched powder fields waiting, and a helicopter at your disposal?

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
Ski lift

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."

Choosing the right clothing layers could make or break your adventures in the outdoors. Merino wool is one of the most popular materials out there due to its moisture-wicking and insulating properties. It's warm and odor resistant and can keep you warm and comfortable. This amazing fabric comes in several different weights that suit varying activities. Fortunately, we've got an easy trick to tell which merino wool base layer is right for you.
Understanding merino wool base layer weight

Merino wool base layers, also known as thermal underwear or long underwear, come in various weights, typically categorized as lightweight, midweight, and heavyweight.  That said, some manufacturers don't tell you what weight their wool is, so your next best bet is to inspect the tags and see if they mention a measurement in grams. This refers to the fabric's weight per square meter, which you can then use to figure out which category your clothing falls into.
