    Bar up or bar down?

    I tend to be a bar up person when there is a bar. Most lifts in Mi. don't have bars, but all new lifts have them now, if they have the foot rest I use them. Now when I was back in NY I used the bar at al times, not sure why except the lifts are much longer.

    Boyne Mtn, Boyne Falls , MI 4/1/23

    In was has been a strange year for skiing in Michigan I still have managed to ski for 6 calendar months this season. For northern Michigan things got a big boost with March becoming the new January with cold temps and a fair amount of snow. The past few years we have gone to Nubs Nob over Boyne...

    Lift Throughput: Why it Matters and How to Improve it

    In regards to not filling chairs, where I ski most they have 3 to 4 queue lines with one for singles and they have a person telling people when to go to the loading area and they will fill the chair unless for example on the triple there are two people in line and there are no singles in line

    Things skiers do but shouldn't.

    I like music when I ski, so I use Bluetooth speakers in my helmet ear flaps. It is more background music and I can still carry on a conversation with someone in the lift

    RVs, Vans and Campers for Skiers

    This is what a good friend of mine has and we have stayed in it many times while skiing. At night we keep the heat on the lowest setting, probably 40-50 degrees, which for sleeping is fine with me and it helps save the battery. When we get up he will start his truck while we have breakfast and...

    Lift Throughput: Why it Matters and How to Improve it

    This is where I am going to say my home ski hill of Caberfae Peaks in Mi shines. On weekends or holiday periods they always have 3 lift attendants. They also have three lifts lines and one single lift line, the fist person checks your lift ticket and takes each line and makes sure that the lift...

    ORDA's Biggest Wins

    I agree on lift ticket prices especially if you buy them early. I got a two day ticket for the beginning of February back just before Christmas for $65 a day for Gore. I had my daughter check and see how much they were to make sure I was doing it right. I could t believe I got them for that price
