Here’s the schedule for this season’s Big 3 homestyle DIY self-supported super-fun no-fee no-rules non-event ski outings!

I daresay you couldn’t have any more fun (or challenge) in the snow and not explode. Our dates always luck out with great conditions. So come ride the wave! You won’t want to miss the apres’ action, either. Bring good snacks to share. Maybe even something hot. We’ll taste-test it for you. And a few pieces of firewood. This is good old-fashioned cutting-edge fun. This is low-overhead, local-style, small footprint hard-rocking sport. Sometimes there are prizes. Something for everyone!

*POTTO RAID: Sunday, January 15, 2012 (alt. No-snow date Sun. Jan. 22, 2012) 10:00 am. (The day after the Frosty Freestyle downstate skate-ski race. Catch the Raid the next day, if you dare!)

*STINCHFIELD LOPPET: 2/26

*JORDAN JAM: 3/11.

All 3 make up the MI back country series. Collect ’em all! Google for more info.

…If you’ve done the Potto Raid and thrive on rooty, rocky technical drops, but feel the need to go from dark-to-dark there’s also the Waterloo Big Day — 37 miles of steady joy plus a dozen thrills. Who knows when it’ll happen — the fates decide that. There are only a few days a season when the base and cushion are right. Then we jump! (We gotta find someone with a snowmobile to pre-run it, then it’ll really rock.)
