  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...

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...
