Ski and snowshoe at Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, 5.5 hours from the Twin Cities. We’ll stay at the 1945 stone-and-log park lodge on Lake Superior and ski on great trails (intermediate – NOT for beginners). There should be will be a naturalist-guided snowshoe trek on Saturday and a lantern-lit ski that evening. Another option is downhill skiing/snowboarding at the ski hill. Meals will be a group effort – everyone is expected to plan& prepare one meal. Bedding is provided.
Estimated cost: $140, not including gas. Deposit: $75 (non-refundable). Max trip size: 12.
Note: There are 10 spots – 3 for trip alumni – 4 for people who have never been to the Porkies -3 spots remain for new Rovers (less than one year), and waiting list being taken for other interested Rovers. Meal coordinators, drivers willing to take 2 other passengers (snow worthy vehicle), and non-snorers jump to the top of the list :-).
