Here's a nice write up for the midwest by onthesnow:

What's new for you in '23-24: Midwest - OnTheSnow

The summer season was busy at Midwest ski areas as they added snowmaking, new terrain, a lift and new places to eat and snooze.

it seems there's quite a bit of nice little improvements across the region that shows snow making equipt is a popular adder/upgrade.

Wow @Dwight , that is way different than here in Duluth. Few flakes today, but not even enough to dampen the pavement.

Looks like they are getting inches of snow.

cool, I drive right by most every time I drive to my daughters. Very temping to give it a try.

Toss a virtual reality headset on verses a screen. It'd be interesting to see how nice the screen looks.

looks like the same machine as in Pewaukee

It was 25 this morning and the first real frost out at my house in western Oakland County, not too far away from Alpine Valley.
This will turn and drop the leaves now, which I feel like are about 2-3 weeks later than normal this year.
No real sustained cold nights in the LP at least over the next 7-10 days but overall weather pattern is fairly seasonal for this time of the year.
Highs in the 40s/50s and Lows in the 30s.

where do people stay when they ski mt bohemia? is there much lodging up there?

Not much in the immediate vicinity. The resort has some yurts, there's Lac Labelle Lodge nearby (https://www.laclabellelodge.com/) or you can look into Calumet / Larium which isn't too far.

The Larium Manor Inn is a unique experience. https://www.laurium.info/

Let's how much comes this weekend and if it stays. Blackjack is shooting for Nov 26 open. First day is free.

 

[Dwight]

The local hill. With temps to get close to 20 degrees, I'm guessing the guns will be fired up tonight.

 

[Dwight]

Open today in MN! https://www.andestowerhills.com/

 

[Dakine]

Way mo bettah!
As soon as we get some cold nights so Nubs can fire up all 315 guns, we be slidin'.

Welch management has lost it's mind.........no bags or shoes allowed inside again. Now even more draconian, Welch is not allowing food allowed inside. No excuse for this. These polices lack common sense and administrative prudence. But what these policies do possess is keeping casual skiers away.
