    That's excellent. You should be able to meet up with me and Dennis to ride. I don't know what time I'll actually get to Bohemia on Friday, but it should be before noon. Since there really isnt much cell reception there, we may just have to hope to bump into each other. I'll be the tall guy on '08 Condors.

    That reminds me, we did have radios last year, which I thought was helpful. I'll be bringing my two, and I'll probably have one on me Friday. I'll post up what channel I'll be tuned to, so anyone with a radio can hopefully contact me that day.

    • Tim I'll bring mine as well. That way I can let you know when I'm there and when the cabins will be open. I will be set to 13.1, lol mine are still set to that from last year. If you don't hear me because you're knee deep give me a buzz about 2pm, I should be up there by then.

      • Note: Opening times are different on week days vs weekends.

        Friday: 10:30 AM
        Saturday & Sunday: 9:30 AM


        I'll be timing my drive to hopefully arrive a little before opening on Friday. Anyone want to meet at the main lift around that time?

        I'm short, have a purple or blue jacket, neon yellow/green pants and a white helmet. I'll be on 2011 KTPs.

        Looks like it's supposed to snow all week!

        • I'll shoot for that too. It'll definitely be easier to meet up that way.

            I went to Indian Head back around 2005. It kind of reminded me of resorts like Spirit Mountain and Giants Ridge.
            I'm heading up to White Cap tonight to ski tomorrow. I'm bringing my laptop and hope to post a report daily with each resort I hit.

              • I'll be the bearded guy trying to push his car up the hill, if not there, I'll hang out around cabins 5/6. In case you'll be wondering, my last name should be taped to the doors, Deehr.

                • Andrew, I'll probably try to take a break around 2pm on Friday if that's when you'll be arriving. That way I'll be available if you need a hand getting stuff to the cabins.

                  Edit: I have been unable to locate the charger for my radios, so I won't be reachable that way. I'll check one more time before I leave the house tonight, but I'm not too hopeful.

                  • No worries Tim, we know what each other looks like and when you hit the cabin I can pass you my other walkie, then the riders will have one and I'll have one at base camp.

                      • I think I'll still recognize you.

                        I was just looking at the weather. It appears that we will have snow showers every day, which is good. On the negative side, I saw wind chill factors down to -15. Bring your layers people.

                        • Cold temps or not, still gonna be ill guys. Can't wait. 4.5 hours of work and 2 hours of class tomorrow before the drive of 14 hours. Essentially I'm only 20.5 hours away though I don't think time works quite like that.

                          • Something else I just though of. Remember that they charge $1 per day for using your season pass, so make sure you have cash.

                            I'm just about to leave work now. I'm hoping to be on the road by midnight. That should get me to Houghton Thursday evening.

                              I was at White Cap in WI today. It wasn't too bad until in the afternoon when the wind started to pick up. It then got pretty cold. I'm in Ironwood, MI right now. I'm planning to go to either Indianhead or Big Powderhorn tomorrow, I just saw the forecast for this area. It's not looking good. They say down to 25 below with the wind.

                              • I wanted to give a quick report of the weather up here. Right now in Ironwood it's 1 degree, snowing like crazy, windy as hell. Snow is blowing and road conditions pretty much suck. What is everyone's status? Who's leaving when, and is anyone changing there mind about coming? I just got in from a very cold day at Big Powderhorn. I'm off now to jump into my in-room jacuzzi to thaw out.
