I'm going to school next year at northern Michigan university.
I was just wondering from people up there how it is, condition wise, especially Marquette mountain.
also what size skis your using (length and thickness).

I go to NMU, ski alot at Mqt mtn.

The park is fine, depends on what you compare it to.

Skis? use whatever you want. Depends what kind of skiing you want to do. Park skis, then short and fat for skiing trees.

Marquette is sick.  They have multiple jump lines and features that you can build yourself up on.  The park has been great to me.  When you're sick of the park, the "backcountry" is pretty fun.  There's some nice trees and a few cliffs.  overall its about as good as you get in the midwest.
