Update from the event organizer: It is with great sadness that we are having to cancel our Mount Bohemia ZApres Day. Due to the lack of snow and record low snowpack, we had to make this decision. Over next 10 days, the temperature is supposed to be above freezing and there is no snow in sight. The snow is quickly disappearing. We will be refunding all of the tickets that were purchased for the event.
ZAprès Events, founded by long-time cannabis industry insider Jamie Cooper, is launching a series of four events that blend skiing and cannabis culture. The first two events will take place in Michigan, followed by two more in Colorado.
Jamie Cooper, Founder and Owner of ZAprès Events, expressed excitement about combining snow sports with the emerging cannabis culture. "Our goal is to bring the cannabis industry and community together, fostering connections and friendships in an enjoyable and relaxed environment," said Cooper.
The festivities will commence on February 5th at Highlands at Harbor Springs in Michigan, followed by another event on February 8th at Mount Bohemia. The Colorado events are scheduled for April 3rd at Keystone Ski Resort and April 4th at Cooper Mountain Ski Resort. Participants must be 21 or older to attend.
ZAprès Events will be hosted separately from the ski areas to ensure a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Each day from 5 – 8 pm, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with other cannabis brands and enthusiasts. This unique social community experience aims to create lasting memories and bonds.
To attend ZAprès Events, participants must purchase their lift tickets for the respective ski resorts. After a day of skiing or snowboarding, attendees can join the nearby ZAprès Parties for $50, which includes food, beverages, and a goodie bag with commemorative and promotional items. These events offer a platform for industry professionals and newcomers to network, learn, and share experiences.

Mount Bohemia, a renowned ski destination in Michigan, has announced the resumption of its chairlift operations following a delayed season start. In an intriguing partnership, the resort is offering an exclusive promotion: complimentary night skiing lift tickets on Thursdays to customers who make qualifying purchases at Lume dispensaries.
This distinctive collaboration between Mount Bohemia and Lume, a prominent dispensary chain with over 20 locations across Michigan, marries the worlds of winter sports and cannabis in a unique way. Customers who spend $50 or more at any Lume location are eligible to receive a free lift ticket for Thursday night skiing at Mount Bohemia, as detailed in a recent Instagram announcement from the resort.
The promotion caters to the 420-friendly demographic, presenting a compelling offer for those already inclined to shop at Lume. Even those not typically engaged in cannabis culture can appreciate the value of this deal, highlighting the innovative marketing strategies employed by Mount Bohemia.
Mount Bohemia's approach to engagement extends beyond conventional promotions. Earlier in the season, the resort launched a contest with a $10,000 prize, challenging participants to recruit the most friends (or foes) to purchase a lifetime season pass. The competition sparked lively discussions online, prompting POWDER magazine to reach out to the resort's management for comment.
The response from Mount Bohemia's owner was emblematic of the resort's bold marketing ethos, emphasizing the resort's commitment to expanding its community of season passholders. The owner likened the effort to a strategic campaign, aiming to "liberate" more skiers with the promise of a lifetime of exceptional skiing experiences at Mount Bohemia.
Mount Bohemia's distinct approach to marketing, coupled with its unique promotions, continues to cement its reputation as a beloved Michigan ski destination. The partnership with Lume for the night skiing ticket offer is just another example of how Mount Bohemia stands out in the crowded ski resort landscape, likely contributing to its strong and loyal customer base.
In Michigan, where recreational cannabis is legally consumed, music venues have traditionally navigated a complex landscape, largely due to the intertwined regulations surrounding liquor licenses. However, a pioneering approach by the organizers of the state's Cannabash music festival may soon change the game. They aim to launch what is anticipated to be the United States' first music venue to legally sell and allow the consumption of both alcohol and cannabis.
Field of Greens, an outdoor concert space in Baldwin, is set to open its gates this spring, according to Grams & Jams Productions. This innovative move is a direct response to the longstanding practice of concertgoers indulging in either alcohol or cannabis during events—a reality that the organizers are keen to embrace and formalize within the regulatory framework.
"The concept isn't new—people have been enjoying music with their preferred choice of legal intoxicants for decades," Connie Maxim-Sparrow, co-founder of Grams & Jams Productions, shared with Metro Times. She highlighted the ubiquity of cannabis use at concerts, using Pine Knob's live music events as an example of where attendees regularly smoke weed.
The journey towards this groundbreaking venture was partly inspired by the success of the Cannabash festival, which since its inception in 2022 at Muskegon's Softball World grounds, has rapidly grown in popularity. With a lineup that included notable performers such as Ludacris and Sada Baby, the 2023 festival attracted 12,000 attendees, underscoring the public's enthusiasm for such events.
The decision to develop Field of Greens was driven by logistical challenges and municipal restrictions encountered at previous venues. Partnering with Baldwin Provisions, a local cannabis dispensary situated on a 30-acre site, offered a solution. The chosen location, once a gun and driving range, provides the necessary infrastructure for large events, including power, lighting, and fencing. Moreover, its proximity to Idlewild, a historic African American vacation spot, adds cultural and historical significance.
To navigate the legal complexities of selling and consuming alcohol and cannabis in the same venue, Grams & Jams Productions plans to split the venue with a fence, designating separate areas for each substance. This arrangement will be complemented by a temporary 24-hour liquor license obtained through the organization's nonprofit division, ensuring compliance with state regulations.
Maxim-Sparrow views this innovative model as a step towards more pragmatic regulations in the future, envisioning Field of Greens as a trailblazer for the music industry's integration with cannabis events. With plans for the venue to accommodate up to 15,000 people, there are ambitions to expand and formalize the space, drawing inspiration from successful venues like the Meijer Gardens Amphitheater in Grand Rapids.
The inaugural season at Field of Greens promises a diverse lineup of events catering to various musical tastes and demographics. From the rock and blues-focused Bikes, Buds, and Brews, aligning with Baldwin's Blessing of the Bikes, to the mainstream allure of Grams & Jams Country Night, and the return of Cannabash with its hip-hop and rock repertoire, the schedule is designed to celebrate music and cannabis culture alike.
Bringing over 55,000 motorcycle enthusiasts to Baldwin, Michigan to celebrate the start of bike season. Enjoy cornhole and midget wrestling, finish the night off with some rythmn and blues on the Field of Greens Mainstage.
