A Look At Making the Mid-West's Best Snow!

Check out the first webcast of the 2013/2014 season.

Coverage includes a look at what it takes to get our slopes filled with snow!

Kicking Off the 2013/2014 Season!

We are off and running, Yahoo!  Fantastic snow making conditions have allowed us to meet our goal of a Thanksgiving day opener.  Our crew has been working hard over the past 3 weeks to fill our slopes with best snow the Mid-West has to offer.  

 Snow making begins! 11.11.13

 Warm weather moved back in to the area later that week, forcing our crew to turn the guns off.  Take a look at this overview to see how much coverage the boys laid down in just under 2 days!

After only a few days cold temps returned to Northern Michigan, allowing our crew to fire the snow making system up.  This cold weather system marked the beginning of what has become 'one of our best snow making years to date'!

 With our guns running around the clock, General Manager Jim Bartlett makes the call on our Thanksgiving day opener!

As with every year, a small group of patrons show up early in the morning on opening day to catch the 'first chair' lift up the hill :)

 (below) our grooming crew works hard to get the slopes ready for opening day!

 Mr.Eric Hafner was super excited for opening day.

 The 2013/2014 season is off to an amazing start, we can't wait to see you and yours out on the hill!

Mid January Update

We've just finished up another great holiday season of skiing and riding here at the Nob!

We saw fantastic conditions for our Holiday skiing and riding period, with winter storm 'Draco' coming to town just days before Christmas, and leaving 18+ inches of snow on our slopes!

 Our Winter Sports School has been going full tilt since the beginning of winter.  Our ski school staff did a great job this Holiday period, engaging youngsters and adults alike!

 Terrain Parks

Our award winning terrain park crew spent December 26th, 27th and 28th pushing out our Mainline and Jib Yard parks!

By the morning of the 29th our crew had built and shaped the first 100% open, terrain park system in the state, full of jumps, rails, boxes and more!  Boasting more than 40 features and a handle tow that services the Jib Yard park on weekends, Nub's is quickly establishing its self as a heavy hitter in the Mid-West Terrain Park game.

 Amazing conditions!

Our world class grooming team has been doing an awesome job keeping the hill fresh for our customers!  

Here are a few shots taken on Pintail Peak just after winter storm Draco dropped more than 18inches of fresh snow on us.

All around, a great season!

It's true mother nature has been a bit grumpy this season, but never fear, the crew at Nub's is dedicated to bringing you the best possible skiing and riding we can.

The proof is in the images!
