    Midwest School me on the UP Michigan Resorts

    So instead of just going to the usual MN resorts for a ski trip this year we're looking into the UP. We've never skied up there. Looking at the Bessemer area specifically. Can anyone with knowledge give me some tips? Do we ski a day at each of the 4 hills in that area? Is the Porkies...

    Midwest Recommend Boyne or Crystal Mountain resorts?

    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...

    BOYNE REACQUIRES SEVEN PROPERTIES FROM O-Z

    This has no doubt been under discussion since Och-Ziff bought the CNL portfolio. Boyne had sold the hard assets to CNL and holds long term {almost 30 years} operating leases. When CNL had to sell, they had to move the entire portfolio. O-Z may do well breaking it up and selling the pieces. I...

    Advanced/Experty wide, stable and somewhat playful?

    I sent my powder skis down the river as they were un-inspiring, overly rockered flappy pieces of meh. Time to replace them with something a bit more all mountainish in the 95 to 105 realm. Skis will be used for deep days and Bohemia, but I need a little crossover ability to groomed. Needs to...

    Midwest Northern Michigan Skiing Update

    We got six inches last night and more is coming. There is going to be a warm up over the weekend but then it looks good for snowmaking. Ben, the new General Manager at Nubs is optimistic for a Thanksgiving opening. I'm guessing a 50% probability of decent skiing in Northern Lower Michigan for...

    Skis for a College Student (best budget skis)

    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...

    2018 Grand Tour of North America

    I'm planning a 3 or 4 week trip from Upstate NY to Colorado in February and March. I would like to detour through Ontario to ski Mount Bohemia in the UP, but it adds 11 hours driving time to my trip. I could also detour to Snowshoe WV, and that adds only 5 hours to the trip. Both of those...
