Discovering Grayslake: Unveiling the Stories and People That Make Our Town Unique

In this episode of "Discovering Grayslake," welcomes Jeff Myhra, the Chief of Police of Grayslake. Jeff shares his inspiring journey from childhood dreams of becoming a police officer to his current role, highlighting his dedication to community service and the challenges of balancing work and family life. The conversation delves into the evolution of Grayslake, the importance of community engagement, and practical safety advice. Jeff's passion for fostering a safe, connected community shines through, making this episode a heartfelt tribute to the values that bind Grayslake together. Discovering Grayslake: A Deep Dive into Community Safety with Chief Jeff Myhra Welcome back to "Discovering Grayslake," your go-to podcast for all things related to our beloved community. After a two-year hiatus, we're thrilled to bring you an insightful episode featuring Jeff Myhra, the Chief of Police of Grayslake. In this episode, we delve into Chief Myhra's journey in law enforcement, his connection to the community, and valuable tips for ensuring safety in our town. Whether you're a long-time resident or new to Grayslake, this episode offers a wealth of information to help you stay informed and engaged. Meet Chief Jeff Myhra: A Journey from Aspiration to Leadership Early Aspirations and Career Path Chief Myhra's journey in law enforcement began with childhood aspirations inspired by his grandparents, immigrants from Norway. His early interest in becoming a police officer was solidified during a career day at school, where a police officer's presentation left a lasting impression. After high school, Myhra joined the military, which provided him with the opportunity to further his education through the GI Bill. He attended the College of Lake County, earning his degree while working at Menards in Fox Lake. From Community Service Officer to Chief of Police Myhra's career in law enforcement started with a community service officer position in Grayslake. His dedication and work ethic quickly earned him a full-time position as a police officer. Over the years, he has held various roles within the Grayslake Police Department, including investigator and sergeant. His passion for investigations and commitment to community service have been the driving forces behind his successful career. The Evolution of Grayslake: Reflections on Community Changes Transformations Over 26 Years During his 26 years of service, Chief Myhra has witnessed significant changes in Grayslake. He recalls the days when local establishments like Carmine's and Pat's Pizza were prominent and praises the vision of village managers and trustees who have worked diligently to enhance the town's appeal. The landscape of Grayslake has changed dramatically, making it unrecognizable compared to what it was decades ago. Staffing and Community Safety The Grayslake Police Department currently has 31 designated officers, with a few part-time officers to fill in gaps. Rather than focusing solely on population numbers, the department prioritizes call volume and response times to ensure effective service to the community. This practical approach contributes to the town's financial stability, as they avoid unnecessary debt. Common Issues and Practical Advice for Community Safety Opportunistic Crimes and Preventive Measures Many crimes in Grayslake are opportunistic, often stemming from residents forgetting to lock their car doors or leaving keys inside their vehicles. Chief Myhra emphasizes the importance of simple preventive measures, like locking doors, to reduce crime rates. Identity theft is another concern, particularly with the rise of online scams, which sometimes require federal intervention. The Importance of Community Engagement Chief Myhra believes that police work is fundamentally about serving the public and providing excellent customer service. He stresses the importance of listening to the community's needs and building trust between law enforcement and residents. The department aims to foster compliance through education rather than generating revenue through tickets, reflecting a philosophy that prioritizes community trust and cooperation. Personal Insights and Community Connection Balancing Work and Family Life Chief Myhra reflects on the challenges of balancing his career with family life, especially as a father of four. He acknowledges the stress of working in major crime investigations, which often require long hours and can be emotionally taxing. Despite these challenges, he emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong work ethic and being present for his family. Personal Interests and Hobbies Outside of his professional life, Chief Myhra enjoys the outdoors, including hunting and fishing. He recently took up guitar lessons at the age of 45, highlighting the importance of continuous learning and personal growth. His love for the outdoors and fascination with Bigfoot add a personal touch to his professional persona, allowing the community to connect with him on a more personal level. Practical Tips for Community Safety Parental Guidance and Technology Chief Myhra emphasizes the importance of parental vigilance in keeping children safe. He advises parents to stay engaged and aware of their children's activities, especially as they spend more time on their devices. Using apps like Life 360 to monitor children's whereabouts can be helpful until they are old enough to manage their own phones. Navigating Online Transactions Safely With the growing trend of online transactions through platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Chief Myhra advises conducting such transactions at the police department, where there is always some level of surveillance and personnel available. He encourages community members to be cautious and to trust their instincts when dealing with potential buyers or sellers. Payment Safety Tips For smaller purchases, Chief Myhra prefers cash, while for larger transactions, he recommends using cashier's checks or money orders to ensure safety. He expresses caution about digital payment methods, as they can sometimes lead to complications or disputes. Conclusion: Fostering a Safe and Engaged Community This episode of "Discovering Grayslake" provides valuable insights into the challenges of modern parenting, the impact of technology on safety, and practical advice for community members to enhance their personal and collective security. Chief Myhra's dedication to the community, commitment to transparency, and focus on proactive policing strategies highlight the values that underpin the Grayslake Police Department. As we continue to navigate the complexities of modern life, staying connected, informed, and vigilant is more important than ever. We encourage you to engage with your local officers, recognize their hard work, and perform random acts of kindness to foster a supportive and engaged community spirit. Thank you for tuning in to "Discovering Grayslake." Subscribe to our podcast for more insights into the Grayslake community and its residents. Let's continue to make Grayslake a vibrant and safe place to live.

Tarina and Nic spent time with Elle and Cruze over spring break. Nic comments on how expensive it is to feed his son, the carnivore. Not even the beans and rice at Chipotle.

The important example from the book are the Beatles and how they had performed 1200 live concerts before going big. “What we don't see,” Nic says, “is the hours of time, the headache, the practice that it takes to be great at what you do.” He recalls his conversation with Manley Feinberg and the training work he did for Menards. As Manley said, putting in the reps made him a more successful speaker. Tarina talks about the book Grit Don't Quit—and what to do in the waiting. “Get out. Work out.

Staying young, learning more: Master of the owner-operator craft Alan Kitzhaber, Trucker of the Year

"Constantly trying to learn new things just keeps you keeps your mind young. It keeps you going. When you stop learning, you kind of just stagnate and drift away." --Owner-operator Alan Kitzhaber Overdrive Radio listeners will recognize the voice at the top of the podcast this week as that of longtime owner-op Alan Kitzhaber of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, with his 1995 vintage aerodynamic, 4-million-mile Kenworth T600. Every single mile of that 4 million he's put down on the road himself, since it was new and he was a company driver for Millis Transfer. Kitzhaber was Overdrive's Trucker of the Month back in August, when we told the tale of the Kenworth's journey toward May '24, when it crossed the 4-million threshold, likewise detailing Kitzhaber's long relationship with JR Truck Repair nearby to his home base for a meticulous maintenance approach that has been a big part of the truck's longevity: https://www.overdriveonline.com/15681362 When we got our Trucker of the Year contenders together late in 2024 for a final talk, and we asked Kitzhaber and others to draw on their wealth of experience for the best single piece of advice for new and/or aspiring owner-operators, it got Kitzhaber to thinking. He had much more than just that single piece of advice. He set to work on a story that you can read today in two parts, starting here: https://www.overdriveonline.com/15712314 Attendant to that in-depth tutorial of sorts into smart practices in business ownership, we've also got some big news about Kitzhaber to share that he's "certainly excited about," he said. For 2024, in what if current plans come to fruition will turn out to be his final full year trucking as an independent owner-operator with authority, Alan Kitzhaber with his Oak Ridge Transport business is Overdrive's Trucker of the Year. "I'm going to be retiring the end of March/beginning of April, somewhere in there, and I guess I can't think of a better way to wrap up a career," he said. With the big win, he goes out on top after a career as an owner that stretches back to the day in 1998 he made the considered decision to buy the T600 from Millis Transfer, where he was then employed as a company driver. Since then, he's modified the truck forever with efficiency, comfort, and operating longevity in mind. Trucker of the Year judges ultimately lauded owner-operator Kitzhaber's meticulous approach to both maintenance and efficiency throughout the operation. Said one: "Really a monument to the craft of trucking as an owner-operator." Kitzhaber contracts directly in the distribution network of shipper Menards, with retail stores for building supplies and more throughout the Midwest. Menards transportation manager John Schmidley threw plenty in the way of praise Kitzhaber's way, too: "Everyone up here at Menards is pretty excited for him," Schmidley said. "He has a lot of respect for the industry, and does his homework." Overdrive's Trucker of the Year award "is going to a real good choice." Schmidley sees one of the best in Kitzhaber, and relies on him directly as a resource in their business, that's sure, in addition to offering him as an example to other owners in the company's big network of independents hauling freight for them. Schmidley was hopeful to convince Kitzhaber to stay in business on a part-time basis for the summer season uptick in transport needs for the shipper, yet the owner is intent on enjoying the fruits of his labor. "I'm in a position where I just simply don't need to work unless I want to," Kitzhabert said. He's building a house on a 40-acre piece of land he's enjoyed for a couple decades hunting, fishing and more for respite from the road. Meantime, here's our chance to learn from one of the best. Congrats to Kitzhaber from all of us, likewise from program sponsor Bostrom Seating: https://bostromseating.com Enter the 2025 Trucker of the Year field: https://overdriveonline.com/toptrucker

Three weeks ago, Olive Dell Ranch was thrust into an unimaginable tragedy when long-time residents Stephanie and Daniel Menard disappeared, setting off a community-wide search that ended in heartbreak. The discovery of their deaths—and the devastating realization that someone from within their own community was responsible—sent shockwaves through the close-knit group. Amid a national media flurry sensationalizing the events, what was once a haven for connection and freedom has been rocked by senseless violence, leaving residents to grieve the loss of cherished members who had long been a fixture of daily life at Olive Dell.As the community comes together to mourn, this tragedy has also laid bare deeper tensions that have been festering for months. Recent management changes, legal disputes, and ongoing conflicts between members and owners had already strained relationships, and now, under the glare of the media spotlight, those divisions feel more exposed than ever. For some, this devastating event has only deepened the fractures, making unity harder to find. Yet among the grief and uncertainty, many residents are holding on to each other, seeking solace in shared memories and the desire to preserve the spirit of community that brought them to Olive Dell Ranch in the first place. As they remember the Menards, Olive Dell is forced to confront both the wounds of this tragedy and the tensions that have resurfaced, with the path forward still uncertain.Read the original article at www(dot)planetnude(dot)co This is a public episode.

In this week's Overdrive Radio podcast edition we'll hear more of our talk with August Trucker of the Month Alan Kitzhaber, and a good bit about one particular subject near and dear to the 4-million-mile owner of a 1995 Kenworth T600 he's piloted since it was new. "I've been very religious about investing my money instead of spending it, and it's put me in a position where I can feel comfortable retiring." --Oakridge Transport owner-operator Alan Kitzhaber: https://www.overdriveonline.com/trucker-of-the-year/article/15681362/meticulous-maintenance-efficiency-trucker-of-the-month Part 1 of this two-part podcast: https://www.overdriveonline.com/trucker-of-the-year/podcast/15679534/4-million-miles-in-a-kw-t600-trucker-of-the-month-alan-kitzhaber His long-term retirement investment strategy, suffice it to say, has owner-operator Kitzhaber well-positioned for an exit, making good on his view of his truck and the trucking business itself. As he notes in today's podcast, trucking's always been a vehicle, a tool to "get me somewhere else," he said. "I want to generate profit from it." After squandering retirement savings from his work in the 1980s, mostly in his 20s, running a Radio Shack store, he's managed multiple qualified retirement accounts and other investments soundly. Nearing the end of a nearly 35-year run of consistently putting aside 15%-20% of his income, he's nearly gotten to that "somewhere else," where he truly wants to go -- that's retirement, setting out on a variety of projects, including building a house on his property in Eau Claire, Wisconsin; pursuit of photography and videography hobbies; taxidermy; and more. As some of you heard in the podcast last week, Kitzhaber achieved a significant milestone in May this year -- he's passed 4 million miles behind the wheel of a Cat-powered truck, his 1995 Oakridge Transport Kenworth T600, pulling since 2010 for a single shipper. As is sometimes the case in the profiles we write of our Trucker of the Year contenders, that shipper, the Midwest home-improvement chain Menards, headquartered nearby to Kitzhaber in Eau Claire, was a little slow to get back to us fully. Yet respond the company did, with a bit of a tribute to their long-running partner in Kitzhaber you can hear in this week's edition, too. **You can enter your own owner-operator business -- or that of another deserving owner -- in Overdrive's Trucker of the Year program, sponsored by Bostrom Seating, via this link: https://overdriveonline.com/TopTrucker Entries to the 2024 program are open through September.

There's a lot of banter this week, especially coming from you know who, so I'm going to make this snappy so y'all can get right to the goods. It's Leadville week so we spend some time talking about DJ's race setup and predictions, as well as making some speculations as to what we might see out there this year. We also riff on the miraculous victory for USA's Kristen Faulkner in the women's olympic road race this weekend. Oh yeah, and Scott's back from Portugal!

They then discuss Scott's recent race in Portugal and the social media coverage of the team's performance. The conversation shifts to a debate about the difficulty of winning races and the importance of genetics. They briefly mention the Olympics and Kristen Faulkner's celebration at the finish line. In this part of the conversation, the hosts discuss the women's road race at the Olympics and the men's road race. They talk about the tactics of the riders, the performance of the winners, and the crashes that occurred. They also touch on other topics such as Dylan's living situation, Adam's wakeboarding skills, and the challenges of training for endurance events. In this part of the conversation, the hosts discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different bike setups for the Leadville race. They talk about the weight difference between full suspension and hardtail bikes, the impact of dropper posts, and the choice of tires. They also mention the use of drop bars in the race and the potential benefits in terms of aerodynamics. The hosts share their own experiences and calculations regarding the time differences between different setups. In this final part of the conversation, the hosts discuss their thoughts on drop bar mountain bikes and make predictions for the Leadville race. They also answer listener questions about bow and arrow specs and gravel wheels. The hosts share their gratitude for the impact their podcast has had on a listener going through a difficult time. The conversation ends with some lighthearted banter.   Keywords Menards, coffee mug, returns desk, race, Portugal, social media, winning, genetics, Olympics, Kristen Faulkner, Olympics, road race, tactics, winners, crashes, living situation, wakeboarding, training, Leadville race, bike setup, weight difference, full suspension, hardtail, dropper post, tires, drop bars, aerodynamics, drop bar mountain bikes, Leadville race, listener questions, bow and arrow specs, gravel wheels, gratitude, banter   Takeaways The returns desk at Menards is considered the bottom of the barrel job. Social media coverage can make it seem like a team is winning more than they actually are. Winning a race is not always hard, but the work to get to that position can be. Genetics can play a role in athletic performance, but it is not the sole determinant of success. Kristen Faulkner's celebration at the finish line of the women's road race in the Olympics was discussed. The hosts analyze the tactics and performance of the riders in the women's and men's road races at the Olympics. They discuss the importance of not looking back and taking risks in racing. They speculate on the reasons behind certain riders' actions and the dynamics of the race. The conversation also touches on unrelated topics such as living situations, hobbies, and training challenges. The weight difference between full suspension and hardtail bikes can have a small impact on race times, but other factors like fitness and skill are more significant. Dropper posts can add a slight weight penalty, but the time saved on descents may outweigh the disadvantage. The choice of tires can affect grip and handling, especially on technical sections of the course. Drop bars may offer aerodynamic advantages, but their impact on overall race times is debatable. Calculations and personal experiences can help inform bike setup decisions, but individual preferences and riding style should also be considered. Drop bar mountain bikes are not versatile and may not be suitable for all types of riding The hosts make predictions for the Leadville race The podcast has had a positive impact on a listener going through a difficult time The hosts discuss their bow and arrow specs and preferences Gravel wheels are becoming wider and deeper for improved performance The hosts engage in lighthearted banter and share their appreciation for the listeners   Titles The Illusion of Winning The Difficulty of Winning Races The Importance of Taking Risks in Racing Speculating on Rider Actions and Race Dynamics The Debate: Drop Bars vs. Flat Bars The Role of Aerodynamics in Bike Setup The Evolution of Gravel Wheels Bow and Arrow Specs and Preferences   Sound Bites "Oh, it's a Menards coffee mug? Dude, you just giving away free advertisements?" "If I become friends with her, she'll introduce me to the manager. I become friends with the manager. The manager sponsors me. It's a done deal." "It looked like Project Echelon crushed it, but I don't know, maybe you just have a person who knows what they're doing with their social media." "She raises for Hushi." "Dude, she's won like 20 world championships." "He should have just rolled it in with a flat tire." "If it's spending 10 grand on a bike to go from 30 pounds to 20 pound bike." "The difference between getting 15th place and 30th place. That's huge." "Maxis sucks." "Even my dad built a drop bar mountain bike" "It's a bike perfectly designed for a very narrow niche" "The drop bar mountain bike is sick for me because I can kind of do anything I want on that bike"   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Coffee Mug 00:10 Discussion about Menards and Returns Desk 01:06 Social Media Coverage and Sponsorship 04:44 Perception vs Reality of Winning 09:30 Scott's Performance in Portugal 13:58 Debate about Winning Races and Genetics 17:06 Discussion about the Olympics and Kristen Faulkner's Celebration 18:04 Analyzing the Women's Road Race at the Olympics 19:42 Analyzing the Men's Road Race at the Olympics 25:24 Speculating on Rider Actions and Race Dynamics 28:01 Unrelated Topics: Living Situations, Hobbies, and Training Challenges 56:14 Optimizing Bike Setup 57:19 Weight and Placement 58:36 The Maxis Debate 59:08 Drop Bars vs. Flat Bars 01:00:21 Descending Challenges 01:00:29 The Pros and Cons of Drop Bar Mountain Bikes 01:04:00 Leadville Race Predictions and Listener Questions 01:06:12 Bow and Arrow Specs and Preferences 01:14:44 The Evolution of Gravel Wheels 01:17:08 The Impact of the Podcast on a Listener 01:22:26 Lighthearted Banter and Appreciation

Horeb, WisconsinYear founded: 1958Pass affiliations: Indy Pass and Indy+ Pass – 2 days, no blackoutsClosest neighboring ski areas: Blackhawk Ski Club (:21), Devil's Head (:46), Cascade (1:00), Christmas Mountain Village (1:02)Base elevation: 860 feetSummit elevation: 1,160 feetVertical drop: 300 feetSkiable Acres: 40Average annual snowfall: 41 inchesTrail count: 24 (33% beginner, 25% intermediate, 38% advanced, 4% expert)Lift count: 7 (3 triples, 2 ropetows, 2 carpets – view Lift Blog's inventory of Tyrol Basin's lift fleet)Why I interviewed himWhen you Google “Tyrol,” the expanse of Italian and Austrian Alps from which this Wisconsin bump draws its name, the robots present you with this image:That is not Wisconsin.According to On The Snow, Tyrol Basin recorded two inches of snowfall during the 2021-22 ski season, and 15 inches the following winter. I don't know if these numbers are accurate. No one runs, like, the Southern Wisconsin Snorkel Dawgs Facebook group as a secondary verification source. The site pegs Tyrol's average annual snowfall at 30 inches. That's not even a powder day at Alta. Indy Pass offers a more generous 51. A site called “GottaGoItSnows.com” lists four feet (48 inches), but also offers, as its featured photo of the ski area, this grainy webcam screenshot, which appears to feature two mis-wired AI bots about to zigzag into one another:But it doesn't really matter what Tyrol Basin's average annual snowfall is, or how much snow fell in either of those two winters. The ski area logged a 114-day season during the 2021-22 campaign, and 124 over the winter of 2022-23. That's an outstanding season, above the NSAA-reported industry averages of 110 and 116 days for those respective campaigns. It's a particularly respectable number of ski days when a season pass starts at $199.99, as it did last year (McGree told me he expects that price to drop when 2024-25 passes go on sale in July).No one offers 114 days of skiing on two inches of natural snow by accident. You need what the kids (probably don't) call “mad skillz ya'll.” Especially when you offer a terrain park that looks like this:What's going on here? How can a snow-light bump 28 miles west of Madison where snowsportskiing ought to be impossible offer nearly four months of something approximating winter? That the answer is obvious (snowmaking) doesn't make it any less interesting. After all, put me at the controls of a $106-million Boeing 737, and I'm more likely to crash it into a mountain than to safely return it to the airport – having access to technology and equipment is not the same thing as knowing how to use it (not that I have access to an airplane; God help us). Tyrol Basin is the story of a former diesel mechanic who ended up owning a ski area. And doing a hell of a nice job running it. That's pretty cool, and worth a deeper look.What we talked aboutCoping with a crummy Midwest winter; climate change resilience; a beginner-area expansion; the legend of Dave Usselman; how to create an interesting ski experience; a journey from diesel mechanic to ski area owner; the hardest thing about running a ski area; why ski area owners have to live it; “during winter, it's a hundred-day war”; why owning a ski area is “a lot like farming”; evolving into a year-round business; why mountain biking isn't happening at Tyrol; why season pass prices will decrease for next ski season; how snowtubing roiled a Wisconsin town; how a dairy barn became a ski chalet; expansion potential; the hardest part about building terrain parks; high-speed ropetows; the lost ski area that McGree would like to revive; $2 PBRs; and the Indy PassWhy I thought that now was a good time for this interviewRoughly six years ago, a 33-year-old former diesel-mechanic-turned-haunted-house-purveyor cashed out his retirement account, mortgaged his house, and bought a ski area.“I have no ski-business background whatsoever,” Nathan McGree told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel at the time. Perhaps an alarming statement, but he followed that with what may be the pithiest five sentences I've ever read on how to successfully run a small ski area:“In order for this place to function well, it needs an on-the-ground owner who is involved in everything,” he said. “I'm the bookkeeper, I'm helping make snow and I can groom the slopes, too. In the past, the general manager would have had to go to the four owners who fought among themselves and were incredibly stingy when it came to running and investing in this place.“Now, if we need a sump pump or something like that, Andy Amacher, my assistant general manager, and I make a decision and go to Menards or wherever and just get it. The old owners are out of the picture entirely now.”McGree immediately cut new glades and added more night-skiing lights. He cranked the snowmaking dial to 11. Since then, he's built a tubing hill, added more runs, refurbished the chairlifts, and added a new carpet. Sometimes there's even a halfpipe – an enormously expensive and complex feature that even the largest ski areas rarely bother with these days.Constant improvement and commitment to a great product. If there are two things that will keep fickle skiers with plenty of other options (the larger Cascade and Devil's Head ski areas are just a touch farther from Madison than Tyrol), it's those two things. That McGree understood that on Day Zero helped. But it didn't guarantee anything. Running a ski area is hard. Because of the weather and because of the equipment and because of the costs and, especially, as McGree discovered, because of (a small but irritating percentage) of the professional complainers who show up to ski/hate-post on StreamBook. But you can make it easier, in the same way you can make anything easier: by thinking ahead, fixing things before they're broken, and embracing creativity over rigidity - and doing all that with a focus that seems unreasonable to observers.Places like Steamboat and Palisades Tahoe and Jackson Hole and Vail Mountain and Killington are run by something approximating armies: marching soldiers numbering sometimes in the thousands, highly organized and with well-defined roles. But there are hundreds of ski areas across America with no such resources. Highly skilled and capable as they may be, the people running these places summersault through the season with no clear expectation of what the next day will bring. Like Batman, they have to drop in with a loaded utility belt, ready to grapple with any quirk or mishap or crime. Ski areas like Teton Pass, Montana; Great Bear, South Dakota; or Granite Gorge, New Hampshire. And Tyrol Basin, where, six years in, McGree has earned his cape.Questions I wish I'd askedTyrol Basin has a pretty cool four-week kids' program: at the end of the sessions, the ski area gives participants a free season pass. I'd liked to have talked about that program a bit and how many of those kids kept showing up after the lessons wrapped.Why you should ski Tyrol BasinTyrol Basin's trailmap undersells the place, presenting you with what looks to be a standard clear-cut Midwestern bump:In reality, the place is amply treed, with well-defined runs etched into the hill (a feature that McGree and I discuss on the podcast):Trees help, always. I am not a huge fan of bowl skiing. Such open spaces make big mountains feel small. That's why I asked Big Sky GM Troy Nedved whether the resort would continue to keep a six-pack running up Powder Seeker (after moving the tram), when it only served two marked runs, and he was like “Bro there's like more skiable acreage in that bowl than there is in Wisconsin” and I was like “oh.” But trees make small mountains feel big, cutting them up like chapters in a book. Even better when the trees between have been gladed, as many of Tyrol's have. With such an arrangement, it can take all day to ski every run. This circa 2015 trailmap, in my opinion, better displays the ski area's depth and variety (even though there are now more runs):It's a fun little ski area, is my point here. More fun than maybe it looks glancing at the stats and trailmap. And if you don't care about trees (or there's no snow in the trees), the park scene is lights-out (and lighted at night). And the ski area is on the Indy Pass, meaning that, if you're reading this newsletter, there's a better-than-average chance that you already own a pair of lift tickets there.I realize that the majority of readers who are not from the Midwest or who don't live in the Midwest have no interest in ever skiing there, and even less interest in what skiing there is. But there's a reason I insist on recording a half-dozen or so pods per year with operators from the region, and it's not simply because I grew up in Michigan (though that's part of it). Skiing the Midwest is a singularly uplifting experience. This is not a place where only rich people ski, or where crowds only materialize on powder days, or where mountains compete in the $10-million chairlift arms race. Skiing at Tyrol Basin or Caberfae Peaks or Giants Ridge is pure, illicit-drugs-grade fun. Here, skiing is for everyone. It's done regardless of conditions or forecast, and with little mind to the 60-year-old chairlifts with no safety bars (though Tyrol's three triples are modern, and all have bars; the majority of lifts throughout the Midwest are of an older vintage). Skiing is just Something To Do In The Winter, when there is so little else other than tending to your Pet Rectangle or shopping or day-drinking or complaining about the cold. It's a joyous scene, and I wish everyone could see it at least once.Podcast NotesOn Afton Alps and Welch VillageMcGree skied Afton Alps and Welch Village as a kid. Both offer large, sprawling footprints on tiny vertical drops (350 and 360 feet, respectively), that are incredibly fun to ski.On CascadeI mention Cascade, which is Tyrol's larger competitor and roughly equidistant (in another direction), from Madison. The mountain hits 450 vertical feet in comparison to Tyrol's 300, and 176 acres to Tyrol's 40. As with all ski area stats that I cite, these stats are either lifted from the ski area's website (Cascade), or taken from a reliable secondary source (in this case, the Indy Pass website for Tyrol). I hosted Cascade GM Matt Vohs on the podcast last year. Like Tyrol, it's a pretty cool operation:On tubing dramaJust as a reminder that NIMBY-ism isn't confined to the Mountain West, we discuss the zealous opposition to Tyrol's tubing operation. Per Channel 3000 in 2018:Some community members don't agree with a plan to install lighting on the tubing hill and are pushing against official approval of a conditional use permit.A Dane County panel postponed its decision after listening to at least five residents speak out against the lighting. Marc Brody, of the Town of Vermont, was one of them. He told the panel that McGree was unclear about what the plans are and said the proposed lighting would cause significant light pollution.Tyrol eventually built the tubing hill, which, if it didn't save the business, at least reinforced it. When I last checked, the town was still standing.On “Matt Zebransky's video about high-speeds versus fixed-grips”McGree mentions Matt Zebransky, who runs midwestskiers.com. Specifically, he references this enlightening video, which illustrates the counterintuitive but irrefutable fact that fixed-grip quads move exactly the same number of skiers per hour as detachable quads (typically 2,400 at full capacity):And here's Zebransky's 2019 interview with McGree:On that chaletThis circa-late 1800s converted dairy barn is one of the cooler chalets (Midwest code for “baselodge”), anywhere in America:On Skyline Basin, Wisconsin McGree's ambition is to purchase and rehabilitate the lost Skyline Basin ski area, which sits around 90 minutes north of Tyrol. A 1974 Ski magazine article listed a 335-foot vertical drop, with a double and a triple chair (McGree intimates that only the triple is standing, and is likely unusable). Here's a circa 1999 trailmap, which is delightful:Don't confuse this with the lost Skyline ski area in Michigan. That's in Grayling, only an hour north of where I grew up. It has great intermediate pitch and an improvisational, eclectic trail and lift network, but no snowmaking. This just doesn't work in Michigan anymore (unless you're Mount Bohemia). The green line is a chairlift, and all the red lines are ropetows:Skimap.org says this trailmap dates to 2011, but the place really only ran intermittently since the 1990s, when I last skied there. I took these photos of the ragged-but-intact operation in July 2022. Last I checked (with the current owner), the place is still for sale. It sits directly off an expressway and would be a fun project for someone with $20 million to blow:The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

A pet store in Blaine will have to pay $22,000 to a woman it hired and fired an hour after she told a manager she was pregnant. The Minnesota Department of Human Rights found Pet Ranch violated Hannah Grell's rights under state law. The department announced Wednesday that along with the settlement, it will monitor the company for three years. Related Minnesota company illegally fired woman because she was pregnant Pregnancy discrimination is more common than you might think. A woman in Coon Rapids recently won a settlement from a dental office in a similar case. And last week the state fined Menards for docking a worker's pay when she took breaks to pump. At the national level, one in five mothers say they've experienced pregnancy discrimination at work, according to a survey by the Bipartisan Policy Center. And one in four have considered leaving their jobs out of fear of discrimination or a lack of accommodation. Jerri Adams Belcher is an attorney at Wanta Thome Minneapolis who works on pregnancy discrimination and other employment cases.
