I swear michigans weather is bipolar... i went outside a couple of days ago and it was like 50 and like after 10 mins it dropped to 20.

I saw that weather report this morning for boyne and about crapped my pants. Now I just need to get out of work early so I can beat the storm and not get stuck out there!

Hey guy's,

I'm in harborer springs now. (So glad I still had a personal day left!!)

Got here about an hour ago. Going to do Nubs till 4, then Highlands has a night special 4:30 - 9 tonight for $11.00!

CMUBBenett, Unless we get so much snow tonight that I'm "Forced" to remain @ Highlands tomorrow,.. (...I will be SOOOOOO disappointed if that happens!!

) local forecast calling for 10-15 tonight, with 5-8 more tomorrow!!!!!

I will be heading to Boyne Mnt. tomorrow!! Hope to see U there! (Drive careful )

Dave, Have a BLAST @ Crystal. Don't really think it will happen, but I might head that way for Sunday. If I do, I'll look for your Hoodie!!!

Very cool I am jealous you are already up there! I will definitely look for you, I'll be up there with my brother who is going to try and ski (he has gone once in two years) so that should be fun! Thanks I'm thinking my lovely jeep will keep me safe through the snow. I can't wait!

Snow is too slow/sticky for jumps today but the park here at shanty is pretty legit lots of features, good variety, nothing requiring too gnarly of an ollie-on except for the stairset rail at the very top. Kind of sketchy short run-up, but still do-able. There's a bunch of log features in the woods to skier's right but cover is too thin and they are all roped off today.

I'm kind of bumming. I was too exhausted to go up all day today, trying to get some people together though to come up for the night boarding. Real snow is supposed to start at like 5pm.
