    Boy caught in a snow-grooming machine at the Mt. Brighton

    My daily Google news search missed that one for some reason. Another one hit a tree, man that sure is sad, 18years old. Maybe it is just me, but it sure seams like a lot of people have died this winter hitting trees in the Midwest. That is one reason I like to pass along the news, no matter...

    Well if you are staying at Harveys you can walk to the gondola, if thats on wind hold you can take a free bus from the hotel to the other bases that might be open. Man, I hate to read about tree wells, sad story.

    Peek 'n Peak 1/26 - 1/27

    OKAY, I see what you are saying now. I never go into the woods, unless the trees are spaced out well. Most of the trees between the runs at boyne and nubs are pretty thick and have lots of fallen trees (I ride MT bikes up there in the summer). But in big snow years I do see a lot of kids skiing...
