We're proud to be a Michigan based company with roots throughout the Upper Peninsula. The Shaggy's Yooper Tour is a five day trip where ambassadors Collin Rehm, Seth Shuster and Darrin Bergman chased spring snow and met up with like minded Michigan made...
Chasing the powder is so much better on a sunny spring day! Ambassadors Collin Rehm and Darrin Bergman found the goods in Marquette, Michigan on their Ahmeek 105s and Tubby 120s. The backcountry skiing in Michigan can be a bit...
The first time I ever dipped my feet into the world of alpine touring was three seasons ago. Jeff came up to Marquette for an early snowfall hungry for some skiing after a late start to winter. We drove...
"You wanna ski ... go hike it"! These were the words that greeted me after knocking on the lodge door at Mt. Mancelona seven years ago. The late owner of Mt. Mancelona, Joe Omness, was a big man, with big...
For Halloween 2017 we traveled back up to Michigan Technological University in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula (where Shaggy's all began) to sponsor a rail jam and do some vibration testing on our new nanoMAG Damping System option on the Brockway 95s....
Spring has sprung, and the snowflakes are winding down. In Colorado, the steep terrain is getting stable in the backcountry and the resort groomers are getting soft. I found myself up at Arapahoe Basin on a great Spring day where...
Butter, creamy, surfy, bottomless, face shot worthy, sleeper snow. Yup, that's what I casually woke up to on February 18th 2017. To be honest, it was a mediocre day in the Wasatch National Forest. Typically our storms roll in deep with...
Part 1 – Minnesota Mid December I was finally able to escape my workplace and head home for some time with the family… and skiing of course. Too bad the warm weather and rain killed the majority of snow that...
My name is Jake, I’m a born-and-raised Yooper with a degree from Michigan Tech University. I’ve been living in Colorado for about nine years now and am always seeking out new adventures, ways to show my Yooper Pride, and ways...
Skiing in July. Yes, believe it or not it’s possible, and is even some of the best skiing I have ever experienced; winter or summer. Over the past two summers I have made the migration from Michigan to the High...
On February 19, 2016, the Shaggy's "Team" took on Mount Houghton at the tip of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. The tour was one that we decided to finally document and show the world the awesome terrain we have right here in...
With the lack of snow and a dismal looking forecast, Shaggy’s ambassador Norman Berge, along with Elly Pascoe, packed up and headed to Lake Tahoe to make the most of Christmas break. Out there, they met up with another brand...
The snow season has sure been off to a slow start here in Northern Michigan, but after a little searching off of CR510 with my wife Stephanie and ambassador Collin Rehm, we found enough to make a few turns! Our...
It’s finally here! After quite a wait this fall, winter is finally upon us in Marquette. This past Thursday, Marquette Mountain finally started spinning its lifts after weeks of delay from unseasonably warm temperatures. Similar warm temperatures also delayed other...
This morning we woke up to an awesome sight - SNOW! The first of the season to be specific. While we know it will melt away almost as fast as it came down, we had to make some turns and...
When most people think about backcountry skiing in Michigan, they always seem to dismiss it. They say, "there isn't enough snow" or "there isn't enough vertical" or whatever excuse is easy. But the key is, just get them outside of...
Sunday morning came way too early for me. After not enough sleep, the blaring of my alarm at 5:30 was not exactly the most pleasant thing in the world, but I was happy to be awake because at 6:15...
In case you didn't know, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula got a little bit of snow in the past week. With over 40 inches on the ground in some places, there was no way the lack of running chairlifts was about to...
