28 - No Lift Lines: 25 Years of DIY Skiing at Polar Peak

The Herishko brothers (Tom and Mark) grew up on a farm in the foothills of the Taconic Mountains of New York, which is east of the Hudson River and west of Massachusetts.

Using Chome? This one works better.

Since their school was 20 minutes from home, they were on their own for after school activities. This need for a more local hobby birthed what is now Polar Peak, a private and do-it-yourself cow pasture ski area which they've been refining since 1991.

Season 2 of Wintry Mix is made possible by Inntopia.com.
