    The Last Hurrah, Southeast Lower Michigan

    Correct MI Skier! Pine Knob is open today, they don't say anything about Saturday, Maybe if skier turn out is light today they might not open Saturday. I think Saturday will draw more people there as we have a winter storm on it's way Friday night. Good news with this storm is they are...

    The Last Hurrah, Southeast Lower Michigan

    So true Tony. Some years I can recall SE lower Michigan was done by Late February. Even with all the snow that we got this year (4th all time), there is none on the ground and the ski areas are just grooming it out to keep the base. With a max Elevation 1,004 feet at the ski hills (bumps) we...

    The Last Hurrah, Southeast Lower Michigan

    With the winter storm watch taking aim on South Eastern Michigan (Friday & Friday Night), and most ski areas trying to stay open for one more weekend, this might be it for Southeastern Lower Michigan. Saturday or Sunday look good with mostly sunny skies and low 40’s Northern Lower Michigan might...

    Keystone 3-12-08

    If the snow was better, it would have been fantastic. It was our first cat ride ever, so just to experience it was awesome. I would pay $5 not to hike anytime ;) It was about a 8min ride total. My wife did fine on her snowboard in the flat section, as you know it's much more work on a board then...

    Breckenridge 3-14-08 powder!

    10" Reported at 7am and still snowing hard. Chair 6 / The T-Bar / Imperial Express all on hold. With the sounds of avalanche guns going off we caught the Gondola at 8:30am sharp. We had to catch a flight out today so our time was limited and stuck to the Colorado super chair and Rockey MT...

    Vail 3-10-08

    DAMN THIS PLACE IS BIG! You really could spend 5 or 7 full days skiing or riding here, I only spent 1. 9:15 am and a chilly start to the morning, took Riva Bahn Express lift to the northwoods express lift to access headwall ridge. Warmed up on all the groomed bowl runs like sleepytime...

    Vail Virgin

    I am staying in the Breckenridge area for a week and plan on driving over to Vail for a day of skiing midweek. Since this place is so massive, I like to concentrate on the "back bowls" area of the resort. Where would the best place to park (I don’t care how much it will cost) to access the...

    Tahoe South....

    That is some ski trip you are about to take, best of luck on your adventure. I can comment on Homewood/Granlibakkken. Homewood is worth the stop, but Granlibakkken is just a single rope tow that might be a vertical of 300ft. It's mostly for sledding. It's fairly close to homewood, so you might...

    Kirkwood 2-9-08

    The weather was just like Squaw the day before, Sunny skies, no winds, and about 45-55* at the base. There was really no need for a coat as it was just too warm. Parking is never fun at Kirkwood on a Saturday, I arrived at 10am and I was about a 1/2 mile from the base. The bus system moves...
