A few pics from indieanhead. good conditions as long as you dressed warm enough and once the wind episode ended friday night. Deep in the trees where nobody else had been.

The high chair at whitecap. Still kind of scary.

Holy crap. I guess I should ski a day at indianhead this year because of the suddenly distinct possibility of it finally changing after all these years!

Have not been but I will give my opinion anyways. It looks like it isn't as steep as what I usually like to ski. I'd still probably enjoy it but I like to get into stuff steep enough to worry,...

I've got some 2016 era tubby 120s in 168. I like them a lot but I'll still rock my salomon rocker 2s almost any day. As far as bohemia, even though it's gladed I find I have the most fun on the open...

WTF... when Vail took over wilmot they moved closing from 11 to 9. Still salty.

Pretty little picture of wilmot there. Article is a bit hyperbolic on the midwest being more than what it is, but I can understand.

I've been there a few times when he's hammered drunk and that's always a shit show too... then again, so was I
\

The first time to Bohemia is kind of a mindfuck that there's actually a hill like this in the midwest. Sure it's still only really about 800 ft of vert but there's a lot of steep shots there.

I have a JL microsub pre-fab with the 8w3v3 sub - it was small enough for me to put behind an interior panel in the back of my 11 odyssey and I'm amazed at the output from my alpine 5 channel. JL...

Gotta be Marquette Mountain. I will guess whichever of the 3 lifts is oldest.

Friend I MTB with got me out last season. I did my first races on my hardtail, I was not in shape due to a new kid but placed pretty high on that and the bike actually helped on that particular...

Was there Saturday, can confirm I had an awesome time. I through a big spread eagle on the main run to try to get some hollering, almost went hard out the front. Good times.

We are going to be slednecking unfortunately; got a guy who blew an ACL last year so we're staying off the skis as that will wear him out way faster. I originally was going with buddies to whitecap,...

in true UP unpredictability the forecast has been upped for the central and western UP snowbelts. Hoping to see Marquette county receive a foot total between now and Saturday. Headed up Friday,...

As of last Saturday - base best in Haunted valley, least in EBC. Out limits okay, main runs good. Moguls of course. Snow predictions have been dialed back, hating the no big storms happening this...

Yea that storm really made the drive up suck... 6ish hours became 9 just to get to Ishpeming. Another 2.5 in the morning to Bohemia but it was all worth it for six hours there. I forgot just how...

I'll be in the UP a lot in Feb. Willing to drive to where it dumps. My buddy may be interested in ice fest as well... especially if the skiing won't be good.

Going to be in the UP this weekend, bohemia saturday marquette perhaps sunday. No new good snows in the forecast, meh.

Okay now I feel like a TOTAL IDIOT for staying in Ishpeming and skiing marquette on the 22nd and 23rd.... god dammit. Perhaps I am going to go there this sat or sunday though.

I got up to Alpine Valley twice this month. Friday the 15 and then the 26th. Second time all the snow on the skiers right edge of the high runs had blown down and filled in the sidehill with a ton...

That was a pretty wild day... in my area we just had a couple tree-bound-trampolines, a few large branches and trees down and I saw one 20 year old Corolla crushed by a huge oak branch. Rode over to...

I checked and all Alpine is blue now. Too bad everyone likes the worst color for your night vision.

If you wanted to get crazy you could find one from when they were still green (or switchable to...

I am in networking personally, from what I understand people are thinking Apple is trying to get Adobe (and others) to use OpenCL instead of CUDA? I agree it does NOT make sense to not have just...

Just one I quickly snapped with my 50mm lens and polarizer while we were riding in Copper...

I was just up there the weekend of the 20th and took the wife around Presque where the waves were pretty large even in black rocks; sure enough I saw a whole slew of people surfing in middle bay. ...

Hope you guys get a get turnout, too short notice for me as I already have climbing plans at Devils Lake. Park looks sweet in that first picture.

We had a guy last week try to send an email to a 7 person list that is management plus IT. He intended to send a picture where one of the oil change kids drove a golf cart through a piece of...

Some people take it pretty far... myself I have only upgraded wheelsets on my bikes. MTB it was to get the disc setup from a buddy but I bought everything from him so I have not put in a whole bunch...

On the subject of anthems, the first time my wife saw the Rene Rancourt anthem (she obviously doesn't watch much hockey) her reaction was the same as everyones.... "WTF is that fist pump thing?" ;)...

For Copper Harbor I suggest every trail there. If you're going on a weekend for a cool $20 you can get 5 hours of riding in the van to the top of keweenaw mountain lodge or brockway mountain and...

Why does Crawford even own a glove? I mean he could put a hook on his left hand and I think it'd be more effective. That said, glad the hawks won ;)

Look up the south trails. Everything on the outside is great XC, yellow blue green red... all really good. If you want a little more gnar hit the stuff directly off Benson Grade. There's also a...

Holy crap, good thing for 2 off days after that. It's refreshing to see Rask is human after all...

Sadly, Rays closes this half of the year.

Edit to add - the rock is on an old ski hill, which happened to be an old landfill ;)

As a blackhawks fan... I fear this most of all.

Don't know about the first two but I can confirm southern kettle moraine being the best semi-close biking to us people north of Chicago where Indiana is too far. Outer loop full is a bit over 27...

Main advantage is being able to run less tire pressure and not get flats where a tube would (pinch flats). This usually allows you to soak up more of the terrain and make it smoother and thus...

had to laugh at this tidbit.

BTW, didn't watch that video at first knowing i'd be mad I didnt make an emergency trip up there... WTF... that's just ridiculous. So jealous of that right now. ...

and yet they're closing on Sunday regardless, i'm not sure I understand them sometimes.

Slednecking and skiing what looks good this weekend.... can't believe the amount of snow for mid to late march.

Crazy turn-around in the Pens Bruins game... wow

So..... now that the hawks have lost TWO games in a row, people around my work that have been hawks fans all the way since 2009 are on the edge ready to jump. Holy crap you would not imagine they...

I've heard if you swallow a bunch they'll fuck you up too

Is either of you "Trail Genuis" by chance? I saw Copper Harbor Trails Club posted a video he made at Ripley and the snow looked deep.... so unhappy to be in Illinois right now.

Hate to be that guy but damn is being a blackhawks fan paying off at the start of this season! Record tied last night, ready to be shattered against the sharks Friday night. Sure hope Hossa is okay...

I agree, Friday was a good day to be at Bohemia. No core shots for me but my brother took out a good chunk of his board right under the triple that got the crowds reaction...

We were the only...
