If any of you go there what do you think? Is the skiing pretty sweet?

ripley, across the river from tech, has a realy shitty park, but some killer skiing, the hill is outstandingly steep which makes for good pow turns, when there is powder of course

i like to play poggs

EXACTLY 1 hour and 45 minutes, if you're thinking about going there next year, take in the 70 percent male ratio up there, major scarcity of chicks up there!

I'd say come to Northern but the school sucks. The ski hill is good but the school is just trying to get your money. (more than usual)

I'm only a junior so I wouldn't be going next year but they've been calling me and sending me lots of mail. Hopefully I can get a visit up there and go skiing soon.

Here is what you guys need to do, employ (yes pay) women to go up there with you, and since their under contract they can only do the deed with you! You must get the signature though, thats important. I can't stress the signature enough. Its really important because then they can't go off with some Tech nerd and do the deed, Just you.

the park at ripley is sick. whoever says it sucks doesn't know how to ski. we had such a good line up this season. bohemia is hella sick too, so much powder this year. it's 40 minutes away too. . campus is tight, everything is close together. not many girls. but as long as your not ugly as shit your chances are just as good as anywhere else. there's a sweet music scene if you're into hardcore/metal/punk music. usually at least 2 concerts every weekend downtown. there's an indoor skatepark on the water. there's hella good mtn bike trails if you're into hard shit such as big bridges. we go cliff jumping until the water is cold. swimming in superior too. hiking/climbing too. this place is definitely the best place, along with marq, for school in michigan. by far. you have to like acedemics too.
check out our website.

there's pics and video of the park.

Keenan, has his shit straight for sure. There is tons to do in and around Houghton/Hancock. You do have to like the school part though, I don't know from experience but I have heard that it is pretty rigorous.

so i don't know how to ski? hmmm intresting, ive been to ripley three times this year and the park was not up to ripley standards one bit, although, every once in a while there will be some cool jump built. the best thing about ripley is making your own jumps and using the natural steep terrain as the landings, the hill is my second favorite hill to ski in all of the midwest, and not for its park, becuz its just a great hill to ski, especialy when there is some good pow

liam told me i should quit skiing

check out the link. the parks nice. there have been at least 4 tables up all year, most over 25'. one over 50. sorry for saying you don't know how to ski, but i did because your response suggested that the park didn't suit your abilities.

check out their site. www.mtu.edu, i love it up here, but ive decided that going into a program that you like is a hell of a lot more important that anything else. check out U of M if you're really serious about arch. by far the best program in the state.
