    My plan has finalized. I live in Green Bay and will be taking my Yaris up into the wild white yonder during the wee AM hours of Friday with the intent of getting to Mt. Bohemia to catch lift opening. Staying at jdub's Friday and Saturday night, planning to get three whole days of snow sliding in. Heading back Sunday evening after lifts close. No worries about tackling the conditions in a small car - I have hundreds of hours of driving experience in a Geo Metro (which is even smaller) on frozen lakes and have never gotten stuck or spun out. Plus I drive the speed limit (and with there being no speed limit on lakes, I have ample experience FIREWALLING THE THROTTLE on ice and snow).

    I'll have room for one passenger and gear if anyone wants to split gas... I get mindblowing fuel economy. Can't imagine your share being more than $30 round trip (probably less). Head clearance in my car is exceptional due to a tall roof, plus I'm going to have the front passenger seat removed so you'll have waaaaay more room to stretch out your legs than you'll need while sitting in the rear seat. Plenty of space in a well-lit and monitored lot at my apartment building to park your car for the weekend. You'll have to figure out your own lodging and transport to/from it while we're up there - which shouldn't be much of an issue with so many attendees this year.

    I ROADTRIP LIKE A CHAMP! My goal is for ZERO pee/gas breaks during the ~4 hour drive. I'll have a cooler along with snacks & sandwich fixin's. You will be subjected to a ridiculously diverse range of music from soft jazz to grindcore speedmetal... basically, everything that isn't country.

        Great happenings up here! The weather finally took a turn for the worse, and by worse I mean day 3 of a 5 day snow storm. With even more snow projected for the near future. It's looking like Bohemia could be opening around christmas or sooner the way the keweenaw is getting hit right now, its accumulating quick, pretty epic. Clark, your welcome to roll up Thursday if you want.


        This is what I'm talkin' bout :

          Nice! This year is looking like it will be a big improvement over recent years when we weren't sure they'd be open by late January

            Fantastic news! Let's all hope that the weather stays cold and the sun hidden!

            I'd definitely be interested in your Thursday offer if my scheduling allows (I should know after the holidays) and I don't hear from anyone wanting a ride; if that ends up being the case I'd probably leave Thursday morning to get in another full day at Bohemia! I'm all about dat sliding, yo. If you want to PM me your address that'd be great. Also, I know I offered you rides from/to your place while I'm staying... was that something you're interested in or do you have your own vehicle you'd prefer to take?

              So it seems that Ben is a doubt for this trip but I'm definitely going.

              If anyone is passing through Detroit they can carpool with me. Plan is to start driving Thursday morning to Ski Friday in the am.

              I also reserved a room with 2 Queen Beds at the American Inn in Calumet from the 19th till the 22nd. If anyone wants to share the room they are welcome.

              Courtney can you please populate the 1st page with the lodging and carpooling info that I just shared?

                      Soooo apparently Mt Bohemia made a 'TV' show about themselves. After watching this first episode I remember them filming it. Last year I landed on a rock with my tail bone, and had to bail out by the second half of Sunday (it still bothers me btw) and remember them talking about a lost skier when I was standing next to Lonnie. Well Episode 1 consisted of that very occurrence, and if you watch right at the second I marked, the camera will pan to the right past Lonnie, and there I stand, booya!

                      I rule, you don't, I made it on Lonnie TV!

                          Ha! I've seen this but didn't realize it was you. Next time don't stand sideways and we'll actually see you

                            Really? I'm so surprised...Maybe it's lying next to Dennis' keys.

                            Glad to see that conditions are shaping up well, though.

                            Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming... "WOW! WHAT A RIDE!!"

                              Here in Wisconsin we're set to get 10+ inches this weekend. Hopefully the UP gets dumped on even harder!
