    I think the highest peaks claim is based on elevation ASL. Without a doubt, they are the highest for sure in the LP, and quite possibly the UP too since the Cadillac area is one of the highest elevation areas in Michigan except for parts of the UP. Believe it not, Cadillac is about 850ft higher than Muskegon, which is fairly significant. Still, I find the 485'ft claim hard to swallow. I'm not hatin' on Cab, believe me, its where I spend most of my ski days here, but I just have a hard time swallowing 485'. Especially since its a bogus claim since all that shit piled on top is man-made any way. Still, Cab is the best value in the state for sure. I know we can all agree on that. Now if only they decide to build some damn tabletops this spring....

    The built up hill gives us some of the steepest inbounds terrain in Southern Michigan.

    Anyone ever buy the $109 pass? Does it get mailed to you? I am thinking of buying 2 but I plan on using it this Sunday if I get them.

    Anyone know the specs on Schuss? It seemed bigger than Caberfae. And has anyone ever done Bohemia? It looks like some of the best runs in Michigan.

    I don't think anyone skis Bohemia here either. Didn't you hear it sucks? All it does is snow.

    Boho pass only sells in early december... you = out of luck / $47 a day and suck it. I tried to bargain with them claiming a crew of 6 for a week and got nowhere.

    Boynes webcams showed shitstains in the snow yesterday but they fired up there low e snowguns [/monster truck announcer voice] last night...

    I'm taking the girls to Cab this weekend... wish me luck. If anyone is around drop by our table in the day lodge - look for the marron tote that asks for change... on the slopes: the old phart rocking the Johnny Cash look w/ visored Giro.

    I should have rephrased. There is a $109 MSIA I think it is pass.

    http://www.goskimichigan.com

    Ski 1 time at 29 places for only $109.

    I heard Bohemia is the best of what Michigan has to offer, so I am definitely going to make it up there not this season, but next season for sure (on my to do list). Also on to-do list, take 5 day vacation up north hitting a hill a day next year.

    So people are heading to Boyne / Caberfae this weekend? Crystal Mountain claims...claims 2 inches in the last 72 hours.
    http://www.crystalmountain.com/winter/cms_WebCam1

    Doesn't look all that bad.

    I can get tickets on liftopia for $45 for this Sunday, but I am planning on Nubs Nob not this Sunday, but next Sunday. And for the cost of Nubs + Crystal I can get that pass which allows me to go to both, and more.

    Yes Mt Bohemia is the best.


    If you are going to plan a 5 day vacation, don't waste it on Michigan. Go to Colorado, Utah, or Wyoming.

    Hit up the Michigan spots one at time during throughout the season.



    On a side note for others;...Am I the only one that thinks "Boho" sounds so fkn stupid?
    If you feel the need to "slang" the name,....How about "Brohemia"?

    Yeah, Boho is dumb, but its shorter than Bohemia, or Brohemia. I do like Brohemia, and would run with that if Lonnie wasn't such a cunt. But I don't feel like he or his hill with the lamest, yet probably funniest trail names deserve that moniker. I mean c'mon, the dude charges people to car camp in the lot. That's not very "bro" of him now is it? Still, definitely the nastiest place in Michigan to ride without a doubt. Hopefully, it pukes up there between now and the end of the month.

    You know how I know you're gay? You're asking a guy you've never met to spend valentines day with you, rather than spending it with your girlfriend.

    Secondly, can I have some of what you're smoking? All what snow dude? Oh, you must mean the 1.5" of fluff we got last night. Yeah, should be downright EPIC out there...

    Ryan go skiing, send your girlfriend my way, tell her Muskegon isn't that far from Grand Haven, I'll be happy to make sure she spends Valentines with no clothes on at all.

    Cool - I was wondering when somebody was finally going to start bashing Lonnie. The moniker "Brohemia" is really gay. Don't like the parking lot car-campfee? The place sells SEASON PASSES for $99 and you're pissing and moaning about having to pay to sleep in your car? Really?? If you haven't noticed, there's like a billion acres of forest to set up camp in. If you dispise Lonnie so much, please feel free to boycott Bohemia. You won't be missed.

    Time for a new girlfriend.

    I got married in Tahoe a few years ago. The night before our wedding Squaw got 14".
    We did laps in Granite Chief till 2:00 in the afternoon on our wedding day. Got married at 5:00.

    THAT'S a keeper.

    I agree, get a new girlfriend. A few weeks ago, my wife told me we should ski this weekend.

    Ahh, c'mon Jer. I know the $99 pass is a great deal especially if you're up that way. Shit, if I were still in MQT or Houghton, it'd be a totally moot point for sure. Regardless, you're right, there's plenty of places to camp near Bohemia for sure and that's probably where I'll camp when I hopefully get up that way at the end of the month; but its still lamer than a 2.5 legged gazelle that Lonnie chooses to charge people for car camping. Not only that, Lonnie's douchebaggery isn't enough to keep me away from Boho, the 10+ hour drive is the real problem.

    edit: and yeah, you're right Jer. On second thought, "Brohemia" is gayer than a unicorn ridden by Liberace over a rainbow. Lets not use that phase anymore.

    1)You're right pdon , Boho is shorter. If it's all about shortening the name, how about just B?

    2) Good Point, ...... those trail names...

    1)You're right Jer, but isn't "Boho" also?

    2)Yea no kidding. There are so many things to piss and moan about Bohemia, but that $99.00 deal, and the Mountain itself, pretty much offset all of them.

    1) AGREED! There's always some Lonnie douchebaggery there, but a couple feet of snow help to ignore it!

    2) Yet at first you liked it.

    Who is this Lonnie fellow and how does he play a role in you skiing at Bohemia?

    He doesn't really. But if you see a dude up there wearing purple, before you think "Ha, look at that gaper!" (well, continue to think that actually) that's Lonnie. He owns/runs the place. He is a moran, but whatever, he's the reason you don't have to hike Boho, which is both good and bad.

    Any way, there's a nifty tool around here called the "search function", I used it and look what I found:

    http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...d.php?t=102339

    follow the wikipedia links in that thread, and read it. It'll explain more than I ever could about the enigma that is Lonnie. Either way, he's not keeping me from going to Bohemia; he's just a retard, with an affinity for driving the businesses he gets involved with into the ground.

    Well, he hasn't driven Bohemia into the ground yet, so he obviously isn't half the moron that all the pissing and moaning e-heros here make him out to be.

    Seriously - what is the big deal with everybody here being so butthurt about Lonnie? Is pissing and moaning just something all the really cool e-douchebags are into now? I mean - I could see bitching about Lonnie and Bohemia if you were, say, employed by Mont Ripley.....

    Really guys - take the Jer challenge. If you think Lonnie's such a moron/cunt/meanyhead, don't ski at his hill. Go ski mighty Ripley or Marquette or Indianhead or Lutsen or any of the million other flat, boring midwestern hills. Hey - sure the skiing will suck, but at least you don't have to put up with Lonnie.

    Search function is overrated. I like to reinvent the wheel...jk

    Didn't know this was discussed extensively. So when you go to Boho, you are going to probably see Lonnie? I've never had a bad experience at a location yet, so as long as I can ride the lifts and ski all day I am fine. A nice restaurant on site would be great too.
