Michiganders where you at-

I need to try to get to that one.  I really need to ride.  I just picked up enough powder pak from Misfit lab for a run in the hood lab.  Not a well covered run, but enough to work with.  I won't have it set up for a couple weeks, but soon we'll be year round round here

^ Although I had planned on going I did not make it.  I spent most of the late-morning-early afternoon waiting in the doctor's office for an ear issue, dammit.

So UofM has this OA program that takes trips.  This winter they're doing a Bohemia trip for $275.  5 nights in a yurt and transportation.  Doesn't include food or lift.  I was thinking of trying to get our little bachelor party to go on that one.....then I found out there's no drinking aloud on OA trips.  That ain't going to happen with our group.  Plus, I can put together something cheaper if we have 6-8 of us.   So we might be hitting Bo after all this season.

^Well aren't we special Wish I could.  Just found that I will not be able to go up this year as I just got made full time at work and they frown upon taking time off without vaca time built up.  Looks like it'll be another season before I get to take a good long trip up there.

Just drove back to CT from MI and my girls house. Love your state!

Yeah!  I have 4 days in so far. We got some good snow up at Caberfae on Sunday! 

I'm going tomorrow and probably sunday and monday. Hitting up Boyne Mt next friday for the 6 for 1 lift tickets! anyone else going!?!?

^ If by "nearby" you mean southeastern MI (Alpine Valley, Pine Knob, Mt Holly), the answer is no.  They have not been hit with snow yet and it's too warm to fire up the snow guns.  

Originally posted by MikeD13559 Originally posted by iamjason10 ^ I was thinking about going but it is probably going to be very busy. Anything worth going to nearby that wont be as busy? ]It might be busy but most of the runs should be  open so ppl can spread out.. and it's not just for Boyne Mt it's for the Highlands too, so it's not bad as long as they have a good # of runs open.  Snow snow snow in the forecast too!!

It does get crazy busy up there but its kinda worth sacrificing considering the price lol. I probably gonna end up heading up with the GF for a day of shredage. Either way nubs nob and the highlands are both killer options if you don't want to ride the Boyne Mtn.

That is a solid idea it won't cost Vail resorts that much and they will some how connect the epic pass to the Brighton pass and get people to come out to ski at their other resorts.  Also I great way to spread your name in the midwest for cheap. 

Where are the parks at?

When i rode nubs and the highlands early last week they didn't have much of anything...:(

The parks in my backyard. Check my pic I built that handrail also the pic of me hitting the jump is just left of the rail. I built a drop in up into the trees. Me and my buddies dug a huge hole/half pipe for the landing. Now all we need is some more snow!

Rode Pine Knob today, not crowded at all which was surprising considering most of the schools were closed for MLK Day.  Became really windy and we called at a day around 2:30.

Anyone gonna be at Boyne or Nubs this weekend?

What airport are you flying into that is close to Boyne mountain?  

Yessir.  Everytime we hit the mountain I tell my buddy we need to buy a plane just for that.  And going to the UP.

Carnival aka Crazy Days, it like Mardi Gras on snow. The have a weekend full of events like a pond skim and on hill partying. If your of age i highly recommend going at least once in your life.
