So my extended Family lives in Bay City and Grand Rapids...I'll prolly be coming out in the next week or so to visit for a while, I want to get a taste of midwest skiing.

So what are the resorts closets to these two places. And if anyone can hook up rides?

Also how long do your ski seasons last, incase they want me to move there with them? What REAL mountains are close by also.

I live in Bay City. Nubs Nob and Boyne Highlands are a good 3-3.5 hour drive and Boyne Mountain is about half an hour closer. Around Bay City you have Apple Mountain. It's about a 15 minute drive and the biggest shithole ever.
