southern michigan as of right now kinda sucks. even some of the upstate stuff is getting rained on. If you go to the UP then you will get some luck. Upstate is supposed to go back to normal tomorrow Im pretty sure. They have gotten a good amount of snow in the past few days.

South East Michigan (Mt. Holly, Pine Knob, Alpine Valley) is pretty dry. We had about 3 inches Friday night, but it was around 50 degrees today.

hmmm last weekend when I was up Nubs park was a million times better than Boynes, Nubs had a 35ft kicker to 30 to another 30. Boyne MTN didn't even have kickers up yet.
I work for Boyne and I can honestly say I would rather pay to ride at Nubs than ski at Boyne

pretty much every other weekend. But I've been spending more time at Nubs this year because they have more skiable terrain, snow in the trees, A LOT of it, and the Park is spot on

look at the size of the orange trail closed sign on the kicker for a size reference. 43 is definitely reasonable.

It might be 40 feet to the sweet spot but I wouldn't say to the knuckle.
