You'd better believe it, Michigan kicks ass!!

[gdboytyler]

I lived in MI from 1970 to 1983. Family still lives there and I visit them every year or so.

The first time I snowboarded at a ski area was at Mt Brighton. I'll ride at Mt Brighton and Alpine Valley if I visit the family during the winter.

You'll find me at Crystal Mountain all season. Michigan is great.

[tilledog]

I learned to ski at Mt. Brighton. ( see opening of Aspen Extreme ) Had a pass at Alpine Valley when I was in college at Univ o Toledo. For those of you that don't know, Mt Brighton is 300 vert of trash.... no really!! It's a couple of lifts built on a landfill!!

Ahhh the memories....

[Neil Gendzwill]

I love the UP. Went there every summer when I was a kid. Still have relatives there, although I haven't been back for about 12 years.

Mt.Brighton was never a land fill, that's just a rumor started because of the opening lines of Aspen Extreme. I'd love to see some proof of your claim, because all of the research I've ever done tells me that it was not a land fill.

[tilledog]

I didn't get that from AE. That rumor's been around for as long as I can remember. It's a very old rumor if it's not true..... I will research my "claim".

I do think now after visiting their site that it's the only promo pic that I've seen for a resort that promotes alpine w/o promoting freestyle as well.

can I get a whoop whoop for Mt Brighton?!

[tilledog]

.... my "claim" for 3 hundy vert was inacurate as well. I'm just relying on childhood memories after all.

250'!!

haha mt.brighton was open this past weekend. who would have expected that?

[knoch]

I would have guessed vert was 150ft if you asked me. The place is tiny.

[NMU Alpine Boarder]

haha mt.brighton was open this past weekend. who would have expected that?

WTF? How did Brighton open before Marquette?!

[Neil Gendzwill]

Mt.Brighton was never a land fill, that's just a rumor started because of the opening lines of Aspen Extreme.

Our local hill was originally supposed to be constructed that way, but they found that it wasn't stable enough and just built it out of dirt.

Dave, not sure if Dad knows Talaskas, he hasn't lived there for close to 50 years. My uncle Tom is still there, he was principal of the high school for a few years so he's a pretty well-known guy. Another uncle, Mike, is in Trenary.

[ike]

yah, i went to Alpine on sat, at it was suprisingly good (forget the fact the Alpine sucks) Tomorrow (wed) im going to either holly or pine knob (pine knob was the only place not open sat)

[Pat Donnelly]

Pine Knob was open Sat & Sun with very low turn out, no complaints here on that.
