I have not yet been up north, but i plan on going up there Jan 15th - 18th with a few friends. Skiing Nubs and the Boynes, use up my 2 for 1 Boyne lift deals from the warren miller movie :) Looks like an arctic blast is coming next week Jan 13th. Talking about highs around 5* and lows -10, on...

Story is from the smoking gun, so i always wonder how true they are BUTT, I looked over the new section here and didn't see this one. Part of me feels bad for the guy (this could have been a lot worse) and the other part of me cant help but laugh out loud! be aware, the pictures have the BARE...

I never check the ski area web site before I go, but i sure should have. mt Brighton was unable to run lifts due to high winds. :x I know they have run them before in high winds like today, but maybe they are more careful now-a-days. Alpine, Holly, Knob we all running lifts today #-o So I...

All SE Michigan ski areas picked up at least 6", some closer to 9" Alpine Valley More snow foretasted for Saturday night/Sunday, another 2" / 4"

Local weather guys are really pumping this storm up, i hope they are correct. Tonight: Snow, mainly after 1am. The snow could be heavy at times. Steady temperature around 26. Calm wind becoming east between 5 and 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches...

Aggreed, MTB forms I visit are not as bad. As i sit here in the flat Midwest, with just as much passion for the sport as anyone, reading post (with pictures please!) of powder days, east vs west, elevation, snow preservation, January thaws, etc etc I cant help but think, YOU PEOPLE SHOULD STFU...

http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2 ... sights-on/ My first WORK trip to SO-CAL the 28th of DEC, (san diego) and they might be calling it SNOW-CAL

That's a good deal, I am a little surprised they didn't advertise this more during the warren miller show in A2 this year. Bohemia had about a 10 min video (the one they send in the mail if you are on their list) before the start of the movie. As for snow, it's all about the lake effect and...

That is a bummer you messed up on the final and didn't pass the test. I defiantly see a more committed snow making at Holly and Pine Knob, also I was talking to a guy at Mt Brighton that said holly/pine knob have the same owners. Makes more sense to me now why you can get a season pass at...

You should see those snow guns running a lot over the next 5 days. Going to get mighty cold around here for early DEC. (lows of 9 on Sunday Night, to cold to make snow!) 1-3 of snow on Saturday should make things nice and soft, I plan to get out again then. Thanks for the link, about the best...

Searchmont Resort moves to 5-day operation Part of SSAI plan for long-term sustainability After a good deal of analysis and an overwhelming positive response from Our Mountain Members and survey respondents, the Searchmont Ski Association Inc. (SSAI) Board of Directors has approved moving from...

The day was 39* and sunny, very light snow cover on the runs, very hard packed with some ice. Until they make more snow (or more natural snow), Pine Knob has the most open and has about 6" or 8" new snow on the ground after Sundays Storm.

Skied Pine Knob from 3pm till 6pm Wednesday 11-26-08 There was a long line to get your lift ticket (waited 10mins), as the Jr High and high School kids were out in full force. I was very happy to see that most of them were on the beginner hills, or just standing around looking cool, so the...

We had a gas station price war in Detroit last night, REG hit 99cents! http://www.wwj.com/99-Cent-Gas-Surprises-Drivers/3374993 Back up to the 1.40's and 1.50's now At least this time no one was shot over it, one time a gas station owner shot the other owner because of the fuel price war :roll:

We use to ski the gravel pits around Jackson (Clear lake rd and Waterloo rd)

Alpine Valley, Mt Holly, Mt Brighton, Pine Knob, all are open (Mt Holly on Saturday) I snowboarded Mt Brighton on Wednesday, it was fast and lots of "whales" to play on near the snow guns. \:D/ Love this time of year as the lift lines are short, the lifts prices are cheep, and it's before...

Dank pretty well nailed it on Caberfae. If you are thinking of going a little further north. 7 hours 16 mins from Indy to Petoskey, MI.. That would put you right in the middle of Boyne MT, Nubs Nob, Boyne Highlands area. If you don't stay right at the ski hills, you can save some cash by...

LOL- Thanks for the info BCAR :lol: I forgot you are on this forum also! mmba.org is great for MTBing, i have to come here for my true skiing/boarding fix! Hope to see some Trip Reports from you this year :mrgreen:

Passing along some info I found on my MT Biking forums NWA and Delta have a killer deal for a killer part of the ski season... act fast Check Orbitz.com =D>

I should not laugh at someones death, BUT, some parts of this story are just to funny not to point out "he four crashed hard into the thick metal fence at the bottom, right at the only unpadded part; which ironically was the section where they had earlier removed the padding." Ironic, don't ya...
