The 2011 Midwest Meet will once again be held at Mount Bohemia, MI (in the Upper Peninsula)
Bohemia's Website: http://mtbohemia.com/
"Mount Bohemia has the longest runs with the highest vertical and deepest powder in the Midwest. Bohemia is all-natural, and has no problem without snow guns. The average snowfall in the Keweenaw is 273 inches. The lake effect snow is dry similar to western resorts and accumulates as powder which is untouched because we do not groom. Bohemia's two new sections; the Outer limits has 100+ acres of inbounds backcountry skiing with 17 new runs even longer and trickier than before."
What weekend works for you?
Last year the Midwest Meet was held the first weekend in March. The weather was much warmer than average (in the 50s). A lot of snow was lost over the weekend while we were there. This year we'd like to hold it a little earlier and also try to avoid scheduling conflicts with other events.
Lodging
Last year we stayed in the cabins at the base of the mountain. Each cabin has a bathroom and sleeps four (two bunkbeds). These worked out well and were very affordable.
Lodging costs and details found in 2nd post of this thread.
Lift Tickets
Last year several of us took advantage of the $99 season pass deal which worked out really well. Otherwise you can purchase lift tickets each day for around $50. If you plan to arrive earlier and ride Friday, check into the season pass deal.
Carpools
From Minneapolis, MN: Courtney I can pick people up from MSP and have room for 3 in my car if we pack on the light side.
From Eastern WI: Andrew (adeehr) Room for a couple people.
From Ohio: DennisEvans, Dyn0miteMat, Jarad
From PA: CrazyBoy-1
If you're planning to drive and are willing to carpool let me know and I'll add your information here.
Feel free to contact Courtney or adeehr for more information.
