A guy at the bar last night said Bohemia has been firing. They’re supposed to get another dump next week which is when I’m planning on going (Wednesday-Friday)

Thanks for the stoke! I am in Chicago and 'round these parts just hit up Wilmot due to it being on Epic pass. But going to Mt Bohemia next week as well!Quote:

This thread definitely delivers.
Where is everyone at those ski areas? Slopes are empty, lift lines are minimal and the lots are full.
When I skied those areas growing up back there, it seemed there were a lot more skiers out on the hill than in the lodges.
Anyone in this thread ski much at Mount LaCrosse?
I haven’t skied there in 15 years, but I know some folks who are regulars. Look for the Professor, a ripping old Teleman…Quote:

Chestnut was super bowl Sunday and that Monday. Nowhere near as bad as a normal Sunday or let alone Saturday.
UP resorts like whitecap, Big Powderhorn, they don't get huge crowds like granite peak. Plus with good size it spreads the skiers.
Anyone else scraping the hard snow up north in the mitten?

The sun keeps setting further north, a little farther up the bluffs every night. Cold tonight and the south wind came up with a clear radiant sky right at sunset. Really good skiing and about 18 degrees. Temps rise to 32 at 9 am. Then 38 by 10. 49 by 2.
Should be interesting.

Limited experience with the place in March here. I went for a thur-sat trip during the 1st weekend in March once. Thursday was dead, Friday was half dead, Saturday was a bonkers pow day.Quote:

Got out for a little sunshine and soft snow today at our local area Coffee Mill. Started quiet and warm and skied til 3:30 when the lift lines started to hit that dreaded five minute wait.

Coffee Mill stoke is always welcome here and sorely lacking. Thank you. That place is a real gem.
Chestnut today before the heat took over. Mid fifties with lots of wind and full on Presidents day crowds later. But spirits were high and lift lines were manageable if chaotic. They had they Happy Hibachi food truck and the bar open at the bottom with music and brats.
Laps were schralped.
I'll be at Tyrol next weekend for the Wijara race. Mt LaCrosse for their open race the weekend after that on Saturday at least. Excited for both.
Pictured....non maggot friend on Apache.

Give us the Voodoo review?Quote:

Here’s a Vern story:
We didn’t have a lot of money when I was growing up, and I was the only skier in my family, so sometimes it was not easy to be a skier. I appreciated how expensive passes and equipment were, and once I had transportation worked out, my best friend and I didn't miss a single day for years.
When I was 17, Vern put on a pro/am style mogul comp with decent prize money, and a couple of heavy hitters showed up: Pete Moline who had been on the pro mogul tour for years at that point and was known for having worked out a sponsorship from the band Megadeth, and Greg Tuffelmire who would go on to be one of that first wave of mogul skiers who pioneered park skiing.
When Pete won, part of the package was a season pass for next season, which he had no use for…and Vern, in a pretty epic show of good will to both of us, let me buy that pass from Pete, so he would have a bit more prize money and I would get a cheap pass.
Pete sent me a vhs tape of all his televised mogul tour events from the previous few years…it was all really important stuff for me at that stage.
I’ll never forget that, it really meant a lot. Thanks Vern.
Hell yeah!!!!!!!;!!!!Quote:

How's your daughter doing in racing this season? Haven't seen you guys yet at Chestnut cause I haven't been much, first year I didn't buy a pass in awhile.Quote:

Vern is the man at Bohemia. Lonnie is cool. I was in the steam cabin on Thursday. Some hot chick in a bikini says I'm Lonnies girlfriend. Dam she was hot. So I says how old is Lonnie? She says he's 54. Dam. She's like 25. It was good times.
I still don't know how to attach photos. How do I do that?

Boho got 23" over the last 2 days, should be awesome. Tried to rally the troops into skipping work for a day trip but no one wanted to do a 10 hour round trip to ski for a day.
