Day 9

Conditions: Powder and packed powder

Location: Mount Bohemia, MI

Today was our third and final day at Bohemia for months. We woke up to another healthy inch of snow. Conditions improved each day of our trip. Things were still a bit hard underneath, but they had softened up significantly.

We rode mostly on the front side because the double wasn’t running, but we did make a few bus runs. We got a chance to take some runs with Lindsey and Lonnie, which was a nice treat. We went through some of the short cuts we found yesterday and just had a good time on the hill that we know and love.

Highlight:

-       Finding good snow in Widowmaker and Jesse James, and busting through the trees without hesitation.

Lowlights:

-       Driving away, and not knowing for sure if we would be back in March with four healthy biceps between us. Bohemia is truly paradise. With all the talk of moving next year, it’s one of the few things about Michigan we will really miss if we leave.

Après Ski:

Time really flew by while riding with Lindsey and Lonnie, so we ended up a few hours behind schedule on the drive home. That made for a late night of driving, but definitely worth it.

Days to go: 41
