    I got a pair of rock / log skis with tele bindings from sar13, I might try some kick wax on em to see how well they climb. Thanksgiving weekend I saw someone climbing Caberfae's old trails with wide waxless xc skis & 3 pin bindings. Seems like the low angle rolling terrain wouldn't be too hard to climb, and beats postholing.

    I don't think I'll get up to Cab again until January. Kyle, we might be up there the weekend of the 24th, not sure yet.

    Flat, that might be a possibility for me as well. Not totally sure yet as to whether or not I'm going to hit up Cab tomorrow. NWS is saying the brunt of their snow is going to fall on Friday (3-5") with only 1-2" tonight. I'm thinking that perhaps waiting through the weekend might be a better play, hopefully they get closer to 10" up there by Monday...who knows. If I do head up tomorrow though I'll toss you an email and let you know how it was, and I'll leave some tracks for sure OB...

    let's see if this code works....

    I JUST got back from Marquette Mountain. I decided to take a 9:30am lunchbreak. I arrived at the hill and got on the very first chair of the day. I skied in 14" of untouched, light powder for an hour. Now I'm back at work.

    My life does not suck.

    Hit Crystal this afternoon -- 5-6" of powder on top of the base. Vedy vedy nice.
    First day on my 188 Soft Bros -- couldn't be happier with them -- they're like buddah! Had the Northside to myself most of the late morning on untracked hills.

    With more snow to the south, Caberfae should be dang near close to Epic tomorrow morning.

    More snow in the forecast for Sunday in the Cadillac area. I'd guess Monday will be the money day. Especially if they get the guns off the dark side and open that up. Saturday will surely be good though. Get the Michigan powder while it lasts.

    Swiss on Sunday anyone?

    You guys are welcome. I'ts like the bloody snow gods follow me. I love it.

    Caberfae is going to suck on Monday...you guys should probably consider going to Crystal or places further north...It might look really snowy in Cadillac, but just keep driving, there's more further north....

    I hate you. I left Marquette after the rain to 8 degree freeze. Now I regret it.

    Amazing what a strong start to the season does for a midwest thread, eh?

    If the place my class is at is still in the dark from the ice storm on Monday, I'll be at Cab. Sadly, good snow days is not an excused absence, and I'll get kicked out of class for any more unexcused ones this semester.

    Yeah the ice here in the Fort Blows....Still some 70,000 without power and windchills forecasted below zero. We are lucky to have power, but many aren't and they are saying Thursday now before everyone is restored. Hope you make it North on Monday Nate, If I didn't have to huge business meetings Monday and Tuesday, I would take the trip north with you.

    Heading to Western Wisconsin Next Wednesday. Will be there through the 28th. Can anyone give me a Beta on Cascade or Devils Head as we will be staying in Tomah.

    Bohemia (Fri & Sat) was pretty rad. 12-14" on (actually) a pretty fair base (for them at least). Only saw one guy with a gaping catastrophic core-shot. Only a few whimpy little scrapes on my Praxiis, and I didn't cut 'em no slack. 'Nother storm comming.

    I'm not very reliable either, but it probably was that deep in areas. When I said 12-14, I meant on the cut runs. Some parts of the backside like Pooping Vampire, Pissed-Off Mummy, Douchebag Chute and that short steep glade between those two cut runs off to the west were considerably deeper. I also poached Your Anus in the Outer Limits and that was pretty deep. There were a ton of Houghton guys there.

    Here's a photo from the front lift where everyone was skiing, you be the judge:(This was from the chair - about 25-30 feet up. For some reason it looks like my skis are only 5 feet off the ground.)

    Nice start to the season....

    Now, if it would start puking like it's supposed to. Winter Storm Warnings everywhere you go and the only thing coming down right now is sunshine.

    Jer- Glad to hear Bohemia was "on" for opening day...Still wish I had the time and money to get up there this week, but you know what they say about wishing...

    Any way, Caberfae should be no fun at all tomorrow, people should probably just stay home and off the roads...its gonna be really really cold, and they got a ton of snow so you probably should just stay home and off the hill....

    I just saw the current pictures from Cab's website. Tomorrow will certainly be something to look forward to.

    Hopefully their note on not grooming some of the slopes will become regular policy.

    Cheers to that, they should adopt the policy that if its a black run, it doesn't get groomed on days of 6" or more....just a thought...maybe I should post that on the guest blog. Are you gonna be up there tomorrow? I know FNS plans on being there and I'm probably going to meet up with him at some point for some slackcountry laps. Black coat, brown pants, lib-tech board.

    Holler MWHC in the lift line...

    Still no call from my instructor about class being canceled. I&M is claiming that everyone in the town the class is held will have power back by midnight, so far I'm out of luck. There will be more days. It's better to deal with this for one more season and finish my eduction anyways.

    Have fun up there everyone. It'll be cold and people will stay away.

    MWHC? Back in my show-promoting days it was all about the midwest hardcore. Fun times.

    ahh yes, the old punk rock days...I remember those....good times...and yeah MWHC stands for Midwest Hardcore, but I was merely paying homage to Craig Kelly and Mike Ranquet who (along with others) made up the MBHC (Mount Baker Hardcore)...a little bit of a joke, but in some ways not so much...
