Skiing at Mont Ripley Posted on December 25, 2016December 25, 2016 by kwschnei At Michigan Tech, skiing is a past-time that many participate in. When it hits 45 degrees Fahrenheit in February and the sky is clear, you can bet a photographer is going to head for the local ski hill, Mont Ripley to shoot some pictures. You can also bet that the Tech students are going to be showing off their moves.
