This is very interesting to me. I live an hour from Brighton and visit Summit County every other year or so as i have family in Denver. I will be curious how the season pass will be structured. In years when i know I'm going west for a week a season pass could be a good deal. And otherwise i...

I haven't been out to Keystone in about 4 years, but have logged quite a few days there in the past. I know it has not been a good snow season, but I was still very suprised at how many rocks and tree branches I uncovered in certain areas. This was especially common just off trail or in tree...

Spent 3 days (Feb 3-5) skiing at Boyne Highlands, which has become our annual family trip. The poor winter was very evident there this year. I don’t believe they have had any significant snow there in over a week. The temps during our trip were in the high 30’s and even into the low 40’s...

Spent a long weekend at Boyne Highlands. The conditions and the temps were about the same all weekend, in the lower twenties with periods of sunshine. Friday was the worst, mostly overcast and windy. And it was really crowded for a Friday, more crowded than Saturday was actually. I heard...

I took was able to squeeze in 2 of Michigan's winter past times this weekend. On Friday we spent the day on Snowmobiles riding from Lewiston to Gaylord and back. It was great weather, in the 20's and plenty of soft snow. I heard the snow got tracked up pretty good by saturday night and was...

As probably the only other Midwest poster (once or twice a year), I do like the midwest section, that way I can see where mikesathome has skied and be jealous. Yes, I said jealous. Midwest skiing is better than no skiing. And that is a great TR on Bohemia, I keep saying I need to get up...

Man that's cold, but at least you got out. I was thinking about going to Alpine or Holly last weekend with my daughter but bagged it when I saw the forecasted temps. She's only 4 and would not have enjoyed that at all. Maybe this weekend.

I was up in TC last week and saw in the paper that this new owner was backing out too. Though, I can't find it online now. It's unfortunate, I wish someone could make it work.

Great little trip around the state. Question about Crystal, is the new terrain they added a few years ago any good? I haven't been there in quite a while and was wondering what it's like. It's funny how easy it is to find someone to split a 2 for 1 with you. I did that on a Friday at...

Watched several groups do the zipline course on Saturday, and 1 group on Sunday. It's actually a series of 3 ziplines, i think. At the Highlands, it starts at the top of the Heather quad and spans from high point to another high point, making it's way down the hill. They are short rides...

First trip of the year, and it was a cold weekend. We spent all 3 days at Boyne Highlands. They got some much needed snow the week before we arrived. On Friday 1/29, it was the coldest and might have reached 20 F, maybe. The wind wasn't too bad and we had 2-3 inches of new snow overnight...

I saw this mentioned on their website a few months ago. I can't believe the price they are charging. $59 with a lift ticket and $69 without. I've done a zipline before, it's not worth this much. When I'm there next weekend I'll watch to see how many people are paying up...

Well, i'll be up the weekend before superbowl weekend, so i'm hoping for snow sooner than that, like this weekend. Regardless, i'll get a TR up to give you an idea of the conditions.

Yeah, i was just starting to get a little worried about the snow myself. Got a trip up to Boyne planned for the last weekend of Jan. Seems like it's been a bit dry this month so far. But I'll take just about whatever I can get this year, haven't even made it to one of the lower MI mole hills...

Are you referring to the Elberta that is across the bay from Frankfort? That town's not very big, where was the ski jump, on the backside of the dune?
