Michigan Conditions

I almost don’t want to point out the problems with this plan- just to preserve the entertainment value it represents. Be sure to get video of it sinking when the ice squeezes the hull together like a tube of toothpaste.

No doubt. I told him there’s good reason no one does that.
He swears he can bubble it.
I said, it will end up like the Endurance.
He says, it’s a great story and everyone lives.
I reminded, everyone except the boat!
Here’s a screenshot from the dock cam the other day.

Looks cozy right?

Used to fish Cayuga lake in the winter in a boat launching at Taughannock Park as there’s bubblers to keep the ice from locking up.

Anyone who is in Michigan in the winter and wants to ski, all I can say is keep an open mind and you can make a mountain out of a molehill

My home ski hill has finally been able to start making snow.

@MiSkier : do you think any ski areas in Michigan will get open by Thanksgiving weekend?

In the Upper Peninsula yes, as far as the lower peninsula it’s a long shot for the Northern Michigan areas. As far as Metro Detroit I wouldn't count out Pine Knob or Mt Holly. All they need is two good nights of snowmaking and they are looking at a low of 25 tonight and 20 tomorrow

I'm curious to see when Boyne Mountain opens. Even for Brighton, Boyne doesn't bother to announce an opening date until a day or two before they are sure it's going to happen.

Brightons goal is Dec 3rd. As far as Boyne if the weather cooperates I could see this weekend
