This is kinda of a travel on your own deal.. Mt Bohemia is pretty dang remote. People will be driving from Grand Rapids, Detroit (about 10 hrs from both cities).. Chicago, Milwaukee and maybe a few from the Twin Cities. As well as some other places in WI and MI. The closest airport is in the little college town of Houghton, where Michigan Tech is located (about an hr south of Mt Bohemia). Duluth, MN is prob the closest halfway descent sized airport within 3-4 hrs. The Twin Cities are about 5 hrs away. |

If you have any questions about the area like good restaurants, places to see, where the airport is and pretty much anything about the place just ask. I go to Michigan Tech and the and have been there multiple times and know all about the area.

Hey chips, we're going up an hitting the hill Wednesday. If you don't go up with this crew but want to/can go during the week hit me up. We still have room in our yurt. We've got it Tues/Wed. nights.
Hey Mike, thanks for posting those videos. I really dug the one with the owner. I never knew the history (as short as it is) of Bohemia. Makes me like it even more. I can't wait to get up there!!!!!! I need to start looking for a job up there so I can go every weekend.

oh, and chips, we have about 5 people so far from this side of the state going and a couple from K-zoo. We'll have room more than likely in one of the cars if you want to hitch a ride.

Should be pretty cheap too. 2 nights in the yurt and a lift ticket for a day should be around $50. The rest is just part of gas and food. And of course anything else that you might need. We're leaving on Monday Jan. 30 in the evening. I put details on the meet up page (I think) about the basic schedule.

yeah because we need to figure out rides.
ming needs to call bohemia to get that pass cause he got dropped from the deal. we need to get a hold of everyone and place them in areas of where they are and then we can figure out who wants to drive gas ETC. FOOD is your responsibility! |

In case anyone needs lift tickets -- Mt. Bohemia is a participating resort in the SkiFreeDeals.com promotion where if you buy 10 gallons of Shell gas (at participating locations), it's good for a free adult lift ticket with the purchase of another adult lift ticket.

The skifree deal is only good on Wednesdays though for Bohemia. I'll be taking advantage of it though. Just used one of those deals today at Timber Ridge.

Be careful driving through the UP, especially munising, we got hit by a state boy for having boards on our car. So make sure you got a guy with his med card if you have any green stuff.
On a snow note, it's a little crunchy up here. They had rain yesterday. I'll give you guys a snow report tonight.

Rode yesterday. Snow wasn't terrible, but it wasn't the powdery heaven we were looking for. It warmed up here the other night, rained, then got cold again. Luckily yesterday the snow was at least soft. Two of the guys in the group have been here when it was straight ice, it wasn't that bad.
If you guys bump into a patroller named Dusty (boarder) talk to him a bit. He's super cool and can tell you were the good snow is hiding.

rental car? doesnt look like the mtn has the resources to bus you there.
this seems like a nice place to hit up. Is this a yearly event? |

rental car sounds like a good idea but carpooling is better and no one in milwaukee with me so i'd be a waste and i can't smoke in the car.
someone like mike hosts it or someone who is familiar with these kind of events should host you gets a brief idea of who's tryng to go and with enough people yeah its ON but he needs to put a DP first and gather money from everyone. rides is the last thing and the hardest thing to figure out cause he's on the other side of the lake from where i am and there's not many people who are local are willing to go so for me i would travel an hour away to find a ride. so many things factor into a trip and resources are there but sometimes limited to budget reasons |
