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 :)

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!

2012/2013 Season Update
Another year has come and gone bringing the 12/13 Ski and Ride Season to a start here in Michigan.
Mother nature has been a wild woman this preseason; Warm front, cold fronts, snow, rain, ice mix etc...
But our world class snow making and grooming crew has done a stellar job getting our slopes packed full of snow and ready for another great season of skiing and riding.
Snow making is a tough job, definitely not for the faint of heart.
These guys put their all in to producing the Mid-West's best snow, often times, in high winds and freezing cold temperatures; Hats off to our dedicated crew!
One of the perks of working such a physically demanding job is the scenery :)
After the snow begins to pile up, it's up to our grooming fleet to push out the piles and get the slopes looking pretty!
The 2012/2013 season is well underway here at Nub's, and we are looking forward to spending ours, with you!
