hey, im probably goin to mtu next year too. i was just up there a couple weeks ago and bohemia was awsome. plenty of fresh snow, and none of drops were tracked out. ripley was pretty nice, the tables were all groomed and in super nice condition, but it was cold as shit and i wasnt really into riding the park. As far as rails and shit, they had a couple, but just driving through houghton i saw at least 10 good handrails and jibs. Anyways, we should deffineltly get in contact, cause i didnt see too many other non-racing skiers up there. E-mail me at jlindy86@hotmail.com or i'll try messaging you and we can talk some more.

hey
im head of the ski club up here. ripley is really sick this year. they have like 25ft table going into a 35ft hip into a big table (35+?) with 2 different transitions and then a smaller table at the bottom. it was really nice last week when it warmed up. bohemia has also been really nice this year. we've got around 230' so far. you can check out our site http://www.sos.mtu.edu/snow/ i'll try to remember to put up some pics of the park at ripley.

We neglected to say that you CAN SKI EVERY DAY if you want, the hill is 2 min away and they night skiing at Ripley, you can't find that many other places! So the skiing may not be amazing but qunatity makes up for it. By the way, they need to work on the jibbing side of the park and make some spines for next season.

does mtu have a good architecture program or not?



They switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much.
