upper or lower penninsula? if you are in the lower penninsula then I heard boyne is pretty sick. but in the U.P. ummm mt. bohemia if you can drive that far and if not try like indianhead there isnt much of a jibbing scene up there though. brules park is ususaly good though

lol...bittersweet...yeah right!!! lol...boyne is your best bet buddy, but it is almost near the Mackinac bridge, so that is really out of the way of anything...but well worth it for sure. I been hearing a lot about Mt. Bohemia now in the U.P, and i guess it is all pow and cliffs, so lots and lots of back country hits which is badass

Boyne's park is good...I ski at holly, but will be at bittersweet and timber ridge this year. I know the groomer at Holly, he makes nice stuff and maintains it well...

it SOOOO far away though. We go to Western UP ski resorts (Indianhead, Big Powderhorn) and bohemia looks like it is still a couple hours past there. I dont know if i would be able to take driving past so many ski areas.

Boyne is definately the best park in the LP. If you happen to go to Crstal Mountain i am there every weekend and if by some mistake you ended up at Cannonsburg i would just turn around.

Thanks for all the input. We are going to do a little LP road trip - probably in December - and I don't trust my Michigan friends to give me the straight shit. I will definitely post more info when the time gets closer.
