Nubs Nob - 2025 midweek trip recap.

​

Dashing thru the snow, oh, what fun it was to ski, on the great runs at Nubs Nob.!  Should make that into a song!?

​

The beautiful northern Michigan area of Petosky and Harbor Springs was home to our small group of eight for the week of January 27 – 31.  Nubs Nob, at the time, had reported over 91” of snowfall so far this year.! Winter was on display for all of us.  Some days of light snow, some with snow and wind, and one day of bright late morning and afternoon sunshine. We had it all. The great groomed runs and no lift lines, were greatly enjoyed.  Of course, I have to mention that each of us qualified for FREE lift passes, which really makes this trip a super bargain. The Best Western of Harbor Springs was our home for the week.  After enjoying the complimentary breakfast, we headed out to enjoying the slopes and in the evening, exploring the local eateries to replenish calories and “rehydrate”.

​

The Monday evening welcome get together featured a spiced wine, crackers and cheese, as well as some delicious sweet treats to sample. There were some fun discussions amongst the group, as we examined the question game “OK Boomer”.

​

Tuesday evening, we invaded the Side Door Saloon down the road. Their food selection is always quite varied.  And if you like Wasabi, this is your place, (inside joke) for attendees.  We had lots of fun conversations going on during dinner.

​

Wednesday was the fun Pizza Night, and the Northern Lights Bowling and Pizza venue provided our group with three extra large pizzas that we consumed quite well.  Jim Quebbeman was awarded the last two remaining slices, as he confessed he enjoys cold pizza.

Thursday brought us late morning sunshine with afternoon blue skies., and temperature up in the 30’s.  Great day on the slopes!  Teddy Griffins Roadhouse, just down the road from Nubs Nob and Boyne Highlands, was our evening meet up place. Very delectable dinners were enjoyed and more fun conversations were heard throughout the evening.  Thanks to all who chose to enjoy this winter ski trip.

​

 The award for most runs taken for the week goes to Jim Quebbeman.  I believe he was getting in shape for Big Sky.  He was the night skier in our group as well, getting to ski under the lights.  I think we was trying to amortize the cost of his awesome new ski helmet into each run, helping with justification of the cost.  See him for more information.  He has a great story on how he got it.

​

Here’s hoping that you will consider this trip next year. Always a fun filled, bargain of a trip, for many.  Don’t miss it
