Join Emma, a curious student, on her journey to uncover the rich history of skiing in Michigan. As she video chats with her grandfather, a longtime ski enthusiast, she discovers the state’s unique contributions to the sport — from the historic Ishpeming Ski Club and the Jim Dandy Ski Club, to pioneering milestones like the first rope tow in the country and Boyne Mountain’s first chairlift in the Midwest. Along the way, Emma learns about the invention of the Snurfer, early snowmaking innovations, and the people and places that helped shape skiing in America. A heartfelt and educational story, Fresh Tracks celebrates Michigan’s legacy on the slopes.
