Telemark Skiing in Deep Powder in Northern Michigan

Yes, it's true. You don't have to live in Utah to ski the deep stuff. Here's some nice tele turns in a couple of unknown locations in northern Michigan.

hmmmm, miller hill on one location??

Sorry, Teletooler. I've actually never skied Miller Hill, but it's on my list. Thanks for commenting.

comparing that to Utah is like comparing 'two girls and one cup' to Haagen Daaz.

Relax, bjonb. The comment about Utah is in regard to the snow, and is intended for my buddies who live in Utah - where I lived for 7 years. It's a nice place, you should check it out sometime.

[bjonb78]

you're right. I must admit the snow looks very light. Something I miss just moving away from the Wasatch. Sorry for the neg.

[nnerbonne]

Hey, no worries. You're right about the snow. The cold Arctic air that produces deep lake effect snow here in northern Michigan gives us days when it's every bit as light as Gunsight or Eagle's Nest. We just have shorter runs. ; )

Thanks for your comments...

Haha, yes it IS true you don't have to live in Utah to ski the deep stuff...but how often does that happen? I'll bet not everyday. If you like deep pow skiing please please come do some telly at PC and The Canyons and Snowbird and Alta and stuff! If you've never been to Utah you're missing out, it's the greatest snow on earth...our license plates even say so! I love it!

aligator hill or state hospital possibly?

[roger69z]

ya it's true that you don't have to live in utah for the good stuff... but while this is nice Utah probably has the dryest powder

Nice to see the bells too they brew that right downt the street from me here in kzoo.

We had some powder almost as deep as that here in lower michigan it was the first time I have ever been snowboarding when it got that deep, I love pow now and cant wait to either go out west or try going north.

Bell's is an essential ingredient to any backcountry tour.
