Introduction


Hey, I'm new here, I just came over from mtbr as the season is changing fast up here in Michigan. I live in mid Michigan but ski up north, I've never had the chance to ski and really good resorts or amazing snow, but up here Nubs Nob and Boyne Highlands are good for me.

Mount Bohemia in Michigan's UP is 90% expert. Expert for anywhere.
270+ inch annual snowfall, no grooming, trees, rocks, chutes, etc. It's all black, double black and triple black.

Wait I take it back. It sucks. DON'T go there.
Definitely DON'T buy the $99 season pass on sale next Saturday only.

Just forget this post ever happened. I must have fallen on my head too hard at Wilmot today...

I had 7 luscious powder days there last year. Wait... no I didn't!
They were 7 awful days. I hate riding in waist deep powder.

Why can't I just keep my mouth shut? I guess the secret is out now...

Michigan skiing considered a secret...interesting...if I ever find myself on the UP, I'll have to check it out. Of course, how often do you randomly find yourself in the UP?

Triple blacks would be like wetting yourself....only out of the other end!
