anybody else see the write up on marqueete mountain in freeskiing. i saw it, read until it called skiing in michigan skiing 'on a garbage dump'. i was sort of offended by this because i enjoy skiing in michigan. just because we ski on hills, not mountains, because we dont get insane amounts of snow, except in the UP, we ski for the love of it.

to tell you the truth, i went to Marquette for Superpark and i loved it. i think they had a solid park. i dunno bout the rest of the ski area, but the park was up to par. i wouldn't mind takin a winter trip there if i could get sum free lodging. haha.

Yea, SOME of Michigan is ok...some decent parks/hills up north. But compared to real Mountains that's all Michigan is; garbage dumps. Go out west, you'll see...

i just stopped by borders and read the article again. i guess the first time i saw garbage dump that is frozen i put it back on the shelf. i guess it was a good article overall. they just meant it like dont judge marquette mountain by the size of it. sorry about this, my fault

what are you talking about the backcountry at bohemia isn't 'lift served?' all of the skiing there is lift served, and it's sick.
