The weather called for snow, sleet, ice, and rain falling from the sky, I thought it would be a great day to get out and take some turns at Pine Knob
(AKA DTE Energy Music Theatre)
Temp 29* at the base and peak LOL
Pine knob, 300 vert. 15 ski trails, served by 10 lifts.
Snow was mostly man made snow, hard packed, with some icy spots.
Lifts were $35
All runs and chairs were open, due to the weather the crowds were very light.
3 terrain parks were open, with jumps, rails, and a few boxes.
In regards to the 4 southeastern Michigan ski areas I will list them in order of most open runs, and lifts as of 12-9-07.
1. Pine Knob or Mt holly
2. Alpine Valley
3. Mt Brighoton
Weather for the week looks to be winter like for southeast lower MI:
A MIX OF RAIN...SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN IS EXPECTED TUESDAY
MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING...BEFORE PRECIPITATION CHANGES
OVER TO ALL SNOW BY LATE EVENING. LIGHT ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE
POSSIBLE DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY.
ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...POTENTIALLY BRINGING LIGHT TO
MODERATE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN.
