Alright everyone since Summer is over, fall has just begun and we've already had our first rail jam of the year, it's time to start a new thread for the 10/11 winter.

Last year we had the "Southeast" michigan thread, but I think we should do all of Michigan. Sure, most of population lives in S/E michigan but we all ride the same resorts in the LP and even the UP if we get a chance, so we should have one thread to bring everyone together.

Cheers everyone we're probably only like 70 days from open resorts!

So much snow, plus more lake effect stuff coming, but it's supposed to melt again next week D: Why must winter taunt me?

Mt. Brighton promises to be open next weekend. Just saying. That means Pine Knob, Mt. Holly, Alpine Valley can't be far behind - any or all of them might also open on Saturday.

On a related note Leo & I went out to Misfit Lab in Fenton yesterday to get a sneak peek and check out the progress Shaun has been making there. The place looks sick, and because it is inside an old auto dealer's repair facility, they have these enormous bay doors that they will be able to open so for some events they will actually use real snow on top of the powderpak.

Here is the jib side, a wide dropin on two different slopes, faux windlip/roller features will supplement several rails, boxes/cannons, etc. Behind the dropin area for this side is the drop-in to the foam pit and the trampoline section.

Has anyone been to Nub's Nob, if so, how is it? When I can, I'm going to try to go to Searchmont in Ontario but I can't cross the border until I get a Passport or get an Enhanced driver's license. I think they're both roughly the same distance away from me.
