Yes that is Breck from the outback, that is a great view. What did you think of the $5 cat ride. We talked about doing it the week we were out there but of the 2 days it was just the guys it wasn't running or we went to A-Basin. Was it worth the $5 for how far they took you? How bad was the...

That's a very good point, thanks for setting me straight. 8)

I've never skied past the second weekend in March in Michigan. It sounds like most places have a pretty good base this year, and tentative closing dates are in mid April. Anyone have any experience in late March or April? Or gone to any of the end of the season parties some of the resorts...

Thanks for the info. I actually do prefer off trail tree skiing. Now all i need to do is convince some people to make the trek up there next year.

Thanks for the report. Does Searchmont have a 'good' 750' vertical? Meaning does it have a good pitch for the most part? How does the terrain compare to, say, Nubs? Is it wide open, trees, rocks?? You spent 1 day there, with 18 trails does it feel like you could do a weekend? Sorry for the...

Keystone on Tuesday 3/4 was a cold and windy day. By the time we made it over to North Peak we were being abused by the wind on the lift and the trails. With the conditions and being the 3rd day of our week long trip we opted for a half day and quit around noon. A-Basin on 3/5 was...

Days 1 & 2 of our week long trip. Saturday 3/1 was really warm in Summit County, about 55 F. The temps really dropped overnight and started to snow. The wind chills were down near 0 F. So there was a lot of frozen stuff under about an inch of snow in the morning of 3/2. Snowed all day for...

My opinion is that we seem to be having an above average winter here in the midwest, at least Michigan. I don't have any data, but it just seems like we got early snow and didn't get too many warm ups that killed the bases, plus it seems like there is above average snow in most places. How...

Yeah my last day is the 7th, and the storm always seems to hit the week after. I'm not taking my laptop, but i think my brother is, so i'll try and get something up midweek.

We are actually forecasted to get 6-12" in Toledo. Too bad we are flat enough to see the curvature of the earth around here and our landfills aren't tall enough to convert into ski hills. Anyway, i hope this isn't the biggest snowfall i see for the rest of the season. It would be a little bit...

Yeah, it would be nice to have a few more people from the Midwest to post some TR's and share info. There's gotta be a few lurkers out there who want to chime in.

Woke up to about 1 - 1.5 " of fresh, but heavy snow. It was about 32F at 8:00 am. We were one of the first up the lifts at 9:00 and it was a frozen snow coming down that stung our faces for about 2 runs, then it changed over to a softer snow which stuck around the rest of the day. It was...

So what did you actually get up your way? They were calling for 4"-8" here in T-Town and it looks like about 3" with some rain starting to mix in. You aren't getting any of that are you? Thinking about heading up to Holly or Alpine this weekend. My dad got a new pair of skis he wants to...

I know about the 'glade' runs that you are referring to. I was referring to trees inbetween runs that aren't official runs. I've never been scolded by ski patrol before as I am always in control and don't really do anything stupid (though my wife would disagree) or beyond my limits. So it was...

I know Peek ‘n Peak is in New York, but it is barely in NY and doesn’t feel like Eastern skiing to me, it definitely feels like Midwest skiing with only about 400’ vertical. Plus there were more Ohio and PA plates than NY plates in the lots. We arrived about 9:30 am on Saturday with a large...

You left Crystal Mtn off the list, though I personally don't think they are the best, but haven't been there in about 10 years so that isn't a fair assesment. I do however think they are better than Shanty Creek and Caberfae. If price does not factor into this i think i'm going to have to...

And with 2 eastern teams in the super bowl this year i bet super bowl sunday will be great crowdwise all over the east. If not that entire weekend?

Secondhand report from my brother. Appeared to have all the trails open after that warmup to 60+ earlier in the month. Now it is very cold around here, probably didn't get above 15 degrees F all day on Saturday and wind chill was much colder probably down near 0 or below. The ice wasn't too...

As always, it depends on what you are looking for. From a lift serviced point of view. I love the tree skiing in the Outback. There are alot of fun runs out there, it just takes a while to get back there. Also, when The Windows is open on the back side of Dercum Mountain, I've had a blast...

You’re talking about Shanty Creek right? I was there a few years ago, 2004 I think. There are 2 areas of Shanty Creek under 1 lift ticket. One is called Schuss and I don’t remember the name of the other. They are both inside what seems like a massive golf community but are a short drive...
