Skiing on Sunday: Frozen Four edition
Jim Carty - The Ann Arbor News - MLive.com: skiing &bull Apr 10, 2008
That was the question in Denver Wednesday morning around 6:45 a.m. The weather folks on three or four local channels were warning that snow and high winds were coming, but a look out the window showed nothing but a trace of snow on the hotel lawn. There were a good 12 hours between me and tonight's Frozen Four showdown between Michigan and Notre Dame, and only about 60 miles to Keystone Resort in… Full Story »

Jim Carty - The Ann Arbor News - MLive.com: skiing &bull Mar 31, 2008
Yes, skiing again. Between the project that ate many lives for many months, spring football and assorted other stuff, there just hasn't been enough skiing or enough skiing on Sunday. Both things should change over the next few weeks. With… Full Story »

Skiing on Sunday: Powder Wednesday at Alpine Valley
Jim Carty - The Ann Arbor News - MLive.com: skiing &bull Mar 9, 2008
I'd never been and Michigan ski friends said it was well worth the extra 16 miles, but the snow seemed to be decreasing as we went North. Keep driving or hit Brighton? Ultimately, it was an impulse decision, and we kept driving. Sometimes you get very lucky.… Full Story »

Unlike a year ago, when the Northeast suffered through a scarcity of storms and an unfortunate abundance of rain for much of the winter, or two years ago when Whistler and the Pacific Northwest seemed to suffer the same fate, it's hard to find… Full Story »

Skiing on Sunday: The Canyons, Part 1
Jim Carty - The Ann Arbor News - MLive.com: skiing &bull Dec 16, 2007
I've had a two bedroom condo reserved at Westgate's property at The Canyons in Park City, Utah, for at least eight months, but knew all along there was a pretty good chance the snow might not come and I'd end up canceling. The flights were booked with frequent flier miles, which could be redeposited. Canceling the room would have only cost about $125. No lift tickets had been purchased, etc. Three weeks ago,… Full Story »

Big kudos to Big Boulder in Pennsylvania, which opened this weekend. Yeah, the coverage is probably pretty sparse, but the good news is it's too warm for icy conditions! Still no snow-making at Boyne Mountain, which has me a little bummed.… Full Story »

Skiing on Sunday: A little cost comparison debate
Jim Carty - The Ann Arbor News - MLive.com: skiing &bull Nov 3, 2007
Last week's musings on whether or not skiing is an elitist sport drew a link and commentary from Ski-Blog.com, which seemed to both agree and disagree with my position that regular folks can still strap on a pair of planks without mortgaging the homestead. You have $3,000 for equipment (one time, but another $500 a year for replacement stuff that gets worn out or for gear the kids… Full Story »
