    Wheres the snow?!?!?!!?

    Yea, the boyne's and nubs are still lacking, no good snow since Early Jan, they are about 80% open right now. I am hoping some of this weest coast energy can make it up here, and stay cold enough Yes it sure is hard to justify the drive for me also. It's about 11hours for me, and I could be in...

    Wheres the snow?!?!?!!?

    It's been a long time since we have had a good amount of snow in SE Lower Michigan, and the same holds true for the rest of lower Michigan (not sure about the UP) We have been lucky so far, to not have any BIG January thaw, so the snow guns are doing their job keeping things open. Heck this is...

    Bittersweet 1.1.10

    Yes fun little place. Once thing I do like about them is they let you BBQ and enjoy a beverage in the parking lot. They have a lift or two that just about load from the parking lot, so it would be nice to ski down and fire up the grill.

    Bittersweet 1.1.10

    Drove 150miles to enjoy Lake Michigan snow squalls and a High Speed Chair lift, racked up about 10k lol not bad for a 300VERT hill. Since I was there solo, the singles line was moving fast, all other lines were pretty long, hills were busy. They have a very good terrain park, much better than...

    Pine Knob 12.20.09

    Light snow made the drive up i75 rather sketchy, but also made the snow on the hill soft and fast. Area was groomed and light crowds. Just about 100% open X-Mas Eve and Xmas Day - Snow to FREZ Rain to Rain then back to snow is in the forecast for South Eastern Michigan, maybe even most of...

    GPS Tracking

    I am a bit of a geek and like to track running, mt biking, skiing when I can. I use to run an HTC windows mobile phone, but the tracking was rather spotty and was slow to load up the app and keep the app running. Well I have moved on to the Motorola droid phone, and picked up the sports track...

    Mt Brighton opened on 12.5.09, the wife and I made it out on 12.6.09 2 chairs 1 “run” all on man-made snow, but as always it’s nice to get out for the first time of the new season. Good storm on tap for this Wednesday and plenty of cold air behind it!

    FTO'ers on Twitter?

    Not sure what you meant by internet traffic, but as for content I would say close to 40% is worthless, by being old content, old news, worthless search redirection sites, endless video sites of funny cats and baby laughs. Now that i think of it, I guess it's really what YOU are trying to get...

    FTO'ers on Twitter?

    From that article "But most of what streams across Twitter is junk. One recent study concluded that 40 percent of the messages are "pointless babble."" how is that any different than the whole internet itself? :dead horse:

    FTO'ers on Twitter?

    I just got on the tweet-train. I originally joined it while testing some components for Joomla base web sites. My first good use of twitter was scoring some free pre-seasron Detroit Red Wings Hockey TIX. The Red Wings public relations person twitterd the first 15 people that find him on the...
