Michigan Conditions

Not planning to make the drive to Mt Bohemia but found this recent video by Shaggy's that is the best introduction to the place I've seen yet. Covers the glades and less steep sections, along with plenty of shots of folks jumping off stuff in the woods.

Went to Crystal on Sunday and mage use of one of my three free lift tickets from my pass at Caberfae. Great soft groomed snow to start the day with a temp of 30. After 12 o’clock the snow was still a nice cream cheese like snow, but it had become like Velcro. It was still a good day and Crystal still has a good 2-
4 feet of snow on the ski hill.

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.

Glad I had a chance to ride the old lift. It definitely felt long but since it wasn't that cold and I was in "tourist mode" I could enjoy the 11 min ride. A 7-min ride will be better, especially with conveyor loading so that beginners and intermediates can have an easier time loading and the lift can run at an optimal speed.
 
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.

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. One controlling traffic and making sure each chair is filled to capacity and one to load the chair. It’s a double edge sword. On one hand it’s busy and lots of people are in the hill, but on the other hand they are making money which is a good thing
