Back to Bohemia (Michigan)

Congrats on the house Maverick! Just a quick update from Madison. Bikeplatt and I will be heading north Friday morning. That is all the further we have officially gotten with our plans! I am debating on whether to stop at Granite Peaks and ski for half day there or just head up to Houghton and get there early and ski for free at Mont Ripley!! Either way, can't wait to get up there. Huge thanks to ElkCloner for hooking me up with some boards for the weekend. Hopefully they last the entire weekend!! Looking forward to meeting members of the group. See you soon!

Congrats on the house! We'll see you next year

[Mavrick]

Hey, just letting you guys know I'm officially out. I close on my house March 7th. Have fun!

[Courtney]

Glad to hear things went smoothly, Clark. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

[CKL]

Sorry to hear that, Clark. Hope all goes well.

The meatcutting has been completed albeit after a slight delay. No complications during the procedure, and so far so good regarding aftercare. My advice to anyone needing to be chopped open is to have as much robotic involvement as possible; much tinier and more precise incision(s) than human surgeons, and less trauma to surrounding tissues equates directly to less pain. As an added bonus it's generally more sterile as well.

Nice! I had been watching the snow and was surprised that there hadn't been anything measurable since our last trip. Looking forward to some more freshness

[g.dub]

Just got a foot!

Happy to report that after a bit of a drought up here Bohemia just got a fresh foot of snow! I was starting to worry about coniditons being hard packed for the meet but we also have another predicted 2 feet coming for the Bete Grise area.

ElkCloner,

I would be willing to take those EMP's off your hands for the cost of shipping if that would be cool with you. How much are ya thinking? Or do you want to get an actual price first?

ElkCloner, I don't know if my messages got to you or not about my address. I can't tell if they went through or not, but let me know if you were still going to be able to send those skiboards my way. Thanks!

The hostel yurts have the potential to get very loud and rowdy - especially on a Saturday night. If you can sleep through anything, it's probably a great option. Most of us prefer a more mellow pace in the evening after riding all day.

[CKL]

I will look into it and see if I can make this happen. Have any of you ever did a cabin rental or stay at the hostel area near the resort? Seems like it would be a better option and seems a little more economical in price. So it made me wonder if they weren't the best place to stay, making Houghton a better option

The Hostel yurt is kind of a mixed bag. Old Tyler and I stayed there Friday night for the first meet this year - it reeked of cheap weed and there was a couple having sex in the bunk next to ours. By sharing rooms it's actually cheaper to go a different route and you get to lodge with people you "know and trust". The nearby cabins are all full for the weekend in question, unless you mean the on-site cabins which are also _probably_ unavailable. Normally yurt #1 is booked for the group, but this wasn't planned enough in advance and the turnout wasn't high enough to make that an option.

We're planning to return March 1 & 2. If that works for your schedule that'd be awesome.

Is there room for one more? I never had the chance to ride with any of you but would like to join the meet. Feb 22,23rd would probably be best for me

The Super 8 works for me. I was quite happy with staying there last year for the 4.2 meet.

I'll probably go ahead and book my airline tickets this week. Courtney, I'll get ahold of you to figure out what times are best when I'm ready to book.
