midwest skiing

I seen in another thread people alluding to Mt Holly expanding. Talk about expanding into the quarry. Can anybody expand on this? Regards Steve

Unless I get an unexpected trip west, I think my season is done as of yesterday. We skied Devil's Head in Wisconsin yesterday. And while the morning started off at 23° by the afternoon it was 50° and quite slushy. Today it's 65°. In this area they aren't predicting any temps above freezing...

The season starts tomorrow. They like to be first and looks like they will again. https://wildmountain.com/

You don't see this every year. Someone is bringing back a previous ski hill in Wisconsin. Creating WoodWind Park (Formerly Deepwood Ski & Golf)

I was fortunate enough to meet Billy Kidd a couple weeks ago at the Colorado Snowsports Museum in Vail. We were discussing who needs a mountain to start a ski career? Apparently not these athletes (although by Midwest standards Lutsen is a mountain!). Who am I overlooking??? I'm sure there are...

A few announcements this week. Marquette Mountain is under new management. Season passes and day passes will be decreased. Season passes go on sale July first starting at $250. Day passes will be sold at $25 a ticket...

Just got my kids (8 & 10) and wife started skiing this past winter and they enjoyed the experience. I was able to get back to skiing after 10+ years away too and am looking already to plan a couple local trips next year. We live in the NW suburbs of Chicago and skied at Wilmot, Alpine, and...

Hello all. I'm coming over from EpicSki...signed up a while ago, but haven't been active. I can't remember what forum name I used over there, but its good to be here. I see a lot of familiar names. I live in the Metro Detroit area and do most of my skiing in Northern MI (Nubs, Boyne...

Hoping to see some familiar faces from the old site over here with this topic. How's everyone doing? So what's new this year? What's the news? What's changed? Where is everyone skiing?

Hello all, Me and my Friend both go to Michigan Tech, who has its own ski hill, and are avid skiers. For some quick background on Mount Ripley and the hills around us, we get a lot on snow in a ski season (usually) and can count on anywhere from 4-10 inches fresh every week. Ripley is 440...

As the West gets snow, we still have temps in the 70s, but that is suppose to change this week. So there is a chance.........

I am so glad I stumbled across this forum! I was on Epic for a long time and was super sad when it closed, especially since TGR's site is no fun at all. I'm in West Michigan and ski mostly Crystal Mt & Caberfae because they are fairly easy to get too but head to the Rockies a couple times every...

So my local ant hill, with 625 vert. feet of madness got themselves a PistenBully 600 added to their 'fleet' of groomers for this coming season. They groom the 'entire' hill at the beginning of the night session (6-10pm) to generally bring some pretty nice conditions to relax after work. I might...

My local hill keeps improving and with the last winter, I know the money was tighter. Glad to see midwest ski hills still making improvements. Especially when at least 3 will not be opening this season.

@Core2's thread about "where you prefer to ski, mega resort or ski area", made me think. Where did you start skiing, was it at a destination resort or a local ski area/feeder hill? I will add "other" to the options for the people who learned in their back yard or even a ski deck. Example but...

Michigan is having a rough start to the snow year, immediately following an amazing snow year, but resorts are making snow so that they could open a few runs and get the families excited before Christmas. In this featured news story our good friend and Pugski member @Craig Scholten talks to...
