55 and sunny and nothing to do until early evening and Dundee Golf Club in Dundee, Mi is on the honor system. You put your money in the drop box and cart keys and scorecards are in a basket, so 9 holes of golf for $10 was the thing to do today. Back to skiing next weekend.

Here is a short film that is Warren Miller like but done in Michigan

Caberfae is holding up well for the most part. Hasn’t been much snowmaking weather and when it was prime weather a couple of weeks ago they had their power issues. Snow held up great today, even with temps in the mid 40’s

Yes they do. That is how I ended up with a pair, and my son in law got my daughter a pair for Christmas this, she got them early

They had maybe 6-8 inches. If it had been a month later that would have been great, but when trying to build a base it doesn’t really help much

It what has been a strange and mild fall the temp finally dropped cold enough to get the snow guns running just after Thanksgiving. My home hill Caberfae Peaks had power lines that were 30 years old going from the sub station to the ski area. Well the issue is Caberfae has added more capacity to...

My skis are waxed and sharpened, the ski box is on my car and the alarm is set for 4am. The stoke is real for me. Can’t wait until tomorrow

Its nice to see the power of social media has a positive effect for once. Caberfae Peaks in the background almost looks like an actual mountain in this pic.

Starting my season Saturday at my usual, Caberfae Peaks. It will be year 24 skiing with my daughter, I hope she never gets tired of skiing with her Dad.

Most of Michigan will get open this weekend

My home hill Caberfae Peaks just can’t catch a break. Prime snowmaking weather and they are having power issues. https://www.facebook.com/share/xbvAWCSwss5uE1wj/?mibextid=I6gGtw

Looking promising to be skiing next Saturday

When Jiminy owned Brodie they started to upgrade the snowmaking system, they had built a reservoir on the top of the mountain to help with the lack of water and were going to put a new lift in if a certain number of season passes were sold and that didn’t happen. Brain Fairbanks said from the...

Over the past two days Michigan has gotten into the snowmaking game. From the Northern part of the state to the Southern part it’s game on.

It was more about the size and skiable acres, Even without lake effect snow they can cover the whole hill fairly quickly

Right now it looks like around Thanksgiving there should be a good window to make snow. One advantage of skiing in Michigan is all it takes it a good couple of weeks to get 100% open.

Just a few pics of some fall golf with just the start of peak colors. I am in Jackson, Mi just over an hour outside of Detroit

Same lift same spot. What they gained was making Funnel cake wider. The area that is now the Back Country will become more of the East Peak. When it is done in probably 8-10 years there will be three peaks at Caberfae. They have new trails laid out and you can see them circles in red on the...

Here is a good pic of just how much earth Caberfae has moved in the past year and they are not done yet.

It was there around 14 years ago
