Love Copper Harbor, but we were up at the Lost Pine Lodge near Caberfae. Father-in-law lives near Cadillac.

Looks like a great time Mike! Never tried snowmobiling but it looks like a blast. Just went skiing for the first time last year. Baby steps... Not sure how -14 feels on one of those but it looks freaking freezing!

Looks like a lot of fun. Though if the beard is frozen, it may be a bit too cold for me.

Great pics. Working in the energy field in the northeast I don't take winter vacations. My wife was a skier and is gearing up to take my son this year and make him a skier and snow boarder. So if figure if I make it up to the mountains that I could get some snow mobiling in.
