Taylors Falls, MN – Midwesterners looking to test out the latest ski and snowboard gear will be heading to Wild Mountain this weekend for the Minnesota ski area’s 35th annual Demo Days.

Race/high performance skis, women’s models, all-mountain cruisers and park-specific ski and snowboards will all be mounted up and ready to go.
