We ended up rescheduling our ski trip to Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. We left home yesterday morning and had smooth sailing up I-75 until we were north of West Branch. It was a very windy day all across the state, but when it started snowing, the drive became quite exciting. The blowing snow caused white-out conditions, and occasionally we had to slow to less than 10 mph. We realized exactly how bad the travel weather had become when the Mackinac Bridge closed down for a time due to 50 mph sustained winds and reduced visibility. Needless to say, we arrived at the ski resort a bit later than anticipated.
Not surprisingly, the ski conditions up here are simply awesome. The slopes are almost empty, there are no lift lines, and all of the new snow has created fluffy powder. We had an issue with Jacob's ski bindings and had to rent him some skis. He was not too heartbroken, though and he, in fact, likes the rental skis better than his own. (Jacob's big news of the day: He did not fall down once!) The temperature was a tad brisk today, but we all bundled up so much that we began to sweat! Hopefully, we will remember to take the movie camera out on Wednesday and shoot some fun, new videos for your viewing pleasure. I will at least post some photos soon, as I did take the regular camera out today.

Boy, It looks like you had the right idea rescheduling. The last couple of days have been snowy and crappy down here. Skiing up there must've been Dy-no-mite!
Also, someone should officially change the spelling of "skiing". It just looks stupid.
