Brighton also opened up. Here's the latest on who's doing what...

Where we started, where we're at and where we're headed. The resorts had not even closed for the 08/09 season yet and I already began planning for the 09/10 season. After finishing up what most consider to be an epic season last year, I took a step back and looked over...

The weather is changing, temps are dropping and it's feeling a bit more like winter is going to be on its way before you know it. With the onset of all these colder temps, I decided it was time to pack up and take a road trip north to Boyne Mountain for the Snowsports Summit and Skitoberfest events.

Face it... winter is on its way! The last day of summer was September 21st and this year it brought snow to many western resorts. Beaver Creek, Keystone, A-basin and Aspen all announced the first snowfall of the season on 9/21/09, ironic? Perhaps! With fall weather in full swing, winter is fast approaching and we know many of you are getting pumped for the 09/10 season. Wondering what's happening at all the resorts across Michigan? Our friends over at the Michigan Snowsports Industry Association (MSIA) have gathered up that information and we're posting it here for you to check out.
