Snow every day were were there. Opening weekend and the mountain was in great shape. Had 5 ft of natural snow already. My son told me the lift operators encouraged him to not unstrap from the board and "ski" on/off the lift. Can't do this if standing in line.
Chalet had mountain view of runs that could be viewed from the hot tub. Ahhhhhhhhh.
Took in Sled Fest in Ironwood, MI and saw pro snowmobile racing. $50k prize money brought the best riders. Xgame free style snowmobile competition too.
Lots to do. Snowmobile, ski, short hike to the waterfalls (7 of them) or my wife's favorite, reading a book by the fire.
A REAL family vacation. I'll be back.
