Algunderfoot Posted March 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 6-10" expected by Easter Sunday, and snow every day for a week or so after that...projected closing date of 4/15 for Indianhead seems feesable, Ski Brule, in Iron River, MI, is thinking 5/13, which is amazing, please come up and support their hard work to extend our season!

Coming up to Indianhead Thursday with Russ. I'm thinking of staying over for Friday too, depending on how the snow is and if Al can come out and play, or I might head over to check out Ski Brule.

Algunderfoot Posted April 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 I can get out tomorrow morning, or at lunchtime, give me a report after todays turns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Conditions were fantastic today-bright sunshine, smooth as silk plush powdery groom (no ice ), few people and temps just below freezing. Here are some first tracks… ... and now it’s snowing! See you in the morning Al. Edited April 6, 2018 by bigwavedave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) About eight or 9 inches of snow overnight turned Friday into a pow day! Al took the morning off to come out and play. brought his powstick! I rode my 164 Incline which floated at speed and found the underlying groom when carved hard─couldn't have been better! It’s like mid winter snow conditions here, maybe the best so far this winter. I decided to stay for tomorrow and Sunday which should be spectacular carving on all this new snow once it’s groomed in. And check out that board rack in the back of Al's truck. The man has his priorities straight....and now I know where to go when I'm looking for just the right board!

bigwavedave Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Day three of four at Indianhead. Plush 1st day groom, brilliant sunshine, mild temps 1st tracks... Rode with Al till early afternoon. Really fun following each other down the hill. Also fun is watching heads crank around from the chair as the first rider passes under them.

bigwavedave Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) Day 4, another spectacular day for carving. The first tracks and layin em down... Al demonstrated more of his exotic rides... Indianhead will be closed this week and open next weekend, and after that? Thanks to Al and Beth for making me feel welcome and introducing me to lots of their local friends. I think we should have a MES (MidwestExpressionSession) here next year, maybe 3 days midweek?

bigwavedave Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) A few short clips from Indianhead April 5-8. First is Al on his split-tail skwal passing under the chair... Next is Russ on the lower part of FIS... and me on the bottom of FIS and a few slo-mo turns viewed from above...

Do it. I need an excuse to make the 9 hr drive. Of course if the conditions aren't like your post above it will be a MESS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
