I am planning on going on April 5th and taking advantage of the $25 lift ticket.

Sunday was the last day for Caberfae Peaks. The snow started out very firm hard packed groomed snow. But within and hour or so the sun did its magic and softened the snow to be near perfect spring snow. Also Boyne Mtn was blowing snow on Saturday night into Sunday morning. Hopefully I will...

Caberfae peaks on Sunday for their final day. It's too bad that people just don't show up once mid March comes. They still have plenty of snow left.

Boyne Mtn in Michigan has some of the best wings I have ever had.

I had an opportunity to ski mid week and got a great deal on a lift ticket to Boyne Mtn so i used a personal ay and made the almost 4 hour trip north. When I left home the temp was 56 degrees and not a spot of snow on the ground. Around 3 hours into the trip as I got close to Gaylord things...

Got the first round in since December at Dundee Golf Club in Dundee Mi. It was a little wet, but all things considered the course played pretty good.

Yes you could see the bridge, but I couldn’t get a good pic and Amy’s, Challenger, and North Peak lift are still the center pole Ribblet quads

Boyne resorts had once again brought back a deal in Michigan if you have any season pass that works at a Michigan ski area you can get a $25 lift ticket. While I normally would have gone to Caberfae Peaks the $25 ticket and around another 30-40 min drive to ski somewhere different would be well...

Boyne Mtn is not done blowing snow. They have said they want to try and ski deep into May. They have around 24 feet of base on a run called Victor as of right now. They are going for Killington of the Mid-West

On Sunday I wasn’t sure what Caberfae Peaks would be like after a brief warm up and refreeze. Well it was firm in the morning and got real nice with the afternoon sun. You can also see when new trails will take shape in the next few years in the first pic.

After the best snow in a couple of seasons last week, the warm air came in in Friday and Saturday and then a hard freeze on Sunday with a high of 9 degrees lest very firm snow. But a little help was coming at the end of the day Under the snow squall is Crystal Mtn about 25 miles away to the...

Look like Ted's Fish Fry.

Skied Caberfae Peaks on Saturday and I can say the snow was the best snow I have skied on in a least two seasons. Natural snow along with cold weather and SMI Polecats have made for some really nice packed powder. The parking lot was full, but as always they have two people working every lift...

While I did ski at Mt Brighton on 12/24/24 for a couple of hours to see how thongs went for me, I would call that my preseason and I officially started my season at my home hill Caberfae Peaks. My Daughter and myself left the Ann Arbor area around 5am to make the 3.5hr drive north to...

Finally got to start my ski season after some medical issues over the summer. Went to Mt Brighton on 12/24/24. There are around 60% open. The snow was firm but you could get an edge in and very low crowds. So it was a good start to the season and the beer was cold.

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.
