We have finally been able to start blowing snow in Michigan. The following pic are from Caberfae Peaks and Boyne Mtn in Northern Mi. and Pine Knob in SE MI.

Yes Bohemia is overrun for the lift capacity and the shuttle bus capacity they have on Saturdays.

So what I thought was an on and off again stomach issue turned out to be stage 4 cancer. I had surgery this week and the surgeon said I am making a remarkable recovery and that hopefully I can be skiing by mid to late January. Don’t ignore or assume you know what is wrong with your body. It’s...

Another great course in Metro Detroit. Calderone Golf Club. $35 for 18 and a cart after 3pm on Saturday and Sunday and one good thing being on the western edge of the eastern time zone is at its peak you can golf close to 9:45-10:00pm.

Our ski hills in Mi. are not the biggest, but we do have some nice golf courses. This is Chemung Hills in Howell Mi. In the fall the colors are amazing.

To me that is comparing apples to oranges, Twister is a great cruising run and Hawkeye is a great run with some challenge to it.

Grad Slam lift, and where the six pack is and the beginner lift were all center pole Riblets when they were new

That is from the Grand Slam lift before they changed the chairs. The attachment is for the alpine slide carts. They hang them off the back to get them back up the hill

I had a Red CB jacket I wore to jiminy back in 1983. I moved in spring of 1984 and it seemed that was when Jiminy was starting to make the turn to being a ski resort vs a ski area.

Boyne will not give up on the season

Around 4 weeks ago my daughter Megan and I thought we won’t be having our annual tradition of skiing in April. It was very disappointing because April 6th was her 30th birthday and all she wanted for her birthday was to ski. Well about 3 weeks ago Boyne announced that any season pass that works...

Boyne Mtn on Saturday to close out my season

Mt Bohemia is reopening for this weekend. Too bad it’s around 10 hours drive for me

Nothing like skiing with your kid. Doesn’t matter how long the run is, the smile on their face makes the day

As of 6am on Monday March 18th Boyne Mtn is blowing snow. Night time temps look good for blowing snow all week. I am very impressed

All the ones I mentioned are closed. There are lots of other places that are closed or will close after this weekend

Also Mt Holly, Alpine Valley and Pine Knob in SE Michigan and Bittersweet in SW Michigan are all on the same pass and the Indy Pass will also work.

The lifts will be spinning anyways and if 50 people show up with another pass that $1000 they would not have had.

In what has been a very challenging season, Boyne Mtn has stepped up and allowing any season pass that works at a Mi ski area to get $20 lift tickets for the rest of the season. They also said they are not done blowing snow.

The Highlands is getting a new lift next season. Boyne has put a lot of Money into lifts the past few season all over the country. https://www.highlandsfuture.com/interconnect-lift?fbclid=IwAR3fq7Tqw7j7YCZtn5vtc4tJ-48rqhbXNszf2daQShGsjHUbM5vYSBY6mYs
