I cannot thank you enough for posting this. I was born and raised in Michigan. I left when I was 20. I come back every now and then, as I still have family there but I have been gone for too long and I miss my Home state! I live in CA now, and we just don't have winter like this at all. So beautiful! So natural...so elemental! Michigan will always be in my heart!
I’m the opposite! Lived in Los Angeles for 25 years and recently moved to Detroit for grad school. My gf is from southern MI but she’s taking me to see everything about the state even the UP!
What a beautiful piece of work!!! I snowmobiled in the UP for over 20 years and was never disappointed by nature’s beauty once. I’ve wanted to live up there for forty years but never made it. Please keep making videos like this it’s the closest thing I have to the real thing anymore.
I took live in Tennessee haha the worst decision of my life! Moving soon. Thinking about Michigan. Lovely vibrant place and the snow makes it that much more magical 😊
I’m from Iron Mountain, and to find this on my recommendations is sooo cool. I’m so happy I found it!! Not many people who don’t live around the UP know the true beauty of it, not just in the winter. I hope more people from all over get to see this so they can see what a true winter wonderland is like!!! I love this vid!!! Keep up the AMAZING work!!!! ❤️
I am from up north, and we used to vacation as a family in the 80's in and around Iron Mountain. Coming back with my own son now to be back where we belong after years in the South. Can't wait to get home.
I have been living 31 years in upper Peninsula, and it is like my second home town now. Such a beautiful and peaceful God’s country. This video is so amazing and really shows beauty of upper Peninsula 💕💕💕
Absolutely a piece of art. This is why I enjoy Mother Nature's winters in Michigan. This is a perfect explanation to all my nationwide friends who ask how can I live/survive/manage Michigan winters --- here's why! See the video!
That's it you tell them LOL. This is a beautiful state and I don't like people running it down. But I think your comment is very honest. I can always tell when people are really from Michigan and really liked it because they say it like it is LOL
Husband is from Escanaba, went to engineering school in Sault Ste Marie and Houghton back in the fifties. Have visited but never in winter! Looks beautiful.
As much as I hate to admit it, but I love winter. I hate driving home during a snow storm with no plow out. I dislike constantly shoveling snow. But, I love being out by myself on my snowshoes, and listening to the wind in the pine trees. And I love that first sign of spring. Or mid March, or later, when the locks open for the ships.
Theres literally nothing in what Trolls (people from the L.P., under the bridge) call "Northern Michigan" although I hear Traverse City and Petoskey are nice, but you may as well move to the U.P. I'd recommend Marquette.
@@70stunes71 That's what I keep hearing. My wife loves it and I guess we'll just have to get used to it. I've heard they do a much better job up there with keeping the roads cleared? I like that people actually seem to get out and do stuff even when there's snow on the ground- here, everyone hibernates for the entire winter- it's ridiculous.
@@justinlamb3822 the Newberry area is really tourism driven and of course covid has reeked havoc on it. There is a Louisiana Pacific mill there as well as a prison. If your interested in either of those type of jobs.
Thank you so much! Too many people are trying to jazz up there videos with these insane transitions and all it’s doing is distracting you from the subject at hand.
Mysteriously magical atmosphere flowing sweet through the ether, an enchanting precious experience through every heartbeat, ... of this, precious ineffable essence of you, is sure to dulcify the most troubled heart. 😊 Thank you, for sharing you to this magical existence of life... 👍😎💜🌎
The U.P. is a beautiful place .... I really hated to leave it. Sometimes when you are busy making plans .... life interferes ~8^) I've been to many of the places you highlight here .... brings back many memories. I even remember skiing back to Eben Ice caves. Thanks for the vid.
@@AmandaXNorth And THAT is a guarantee! I worked up there for a year. That year it snowed 44 days in a row. I thought we were being buried alive! The business owners were outside, hands up, thanking the snow Gods for the White Gold!!! Have you heard of Heikki Lunta??
Amanda simply put, I find this absolutely stunning. The videography is terrific. The integration with the music is great. You tell a wonderful story here. I can’t wait to see more of your work.
My state . I fought for it in the military, worked for it in factories & farms, enjoy it ice fishing, hunting & natural beauty. I truly hope this will be my final resting place at death . I love my state of Michigan.
About to head outside and get me some U.P. winter in a little over an hour. Anyone who doesn't live here probably finds this beautiful (and it is) but 6 to 8 months of it per year gets old after 32 years lol.
I grew up Up there and have recently retired. We are heading UP. I'm not a winter fan, so we'll probably spend some time down south somewhere. But I so love summers and autumns there. It's such a beautiful area.
Hi Amanda, greetings from Willow, Alaska Home of the World Famous Iditarod Sled Dog Race. I just now came across your video and must say, very well done. I felt very relaxed and interested while watching. I've always said, if I were to move somewhere different, it would either be the U.P. or Upstate, N.Y. but, I would still keep my Alaska properties. Thanks so much for sharing your corner of the world. Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
This detroit city boy went to nmu in Marquette in the early seventies. Knew nothing about the upper. Made some good up friends. Learned how to ski, and have been visiting up there every year since. God's country.
The UP is such a special place in winter. I am from Texas, but I have been lucky to spend lots of time up there in the winter. I tell my skier friends that Mount Bohemia in the Keweenaw is one of my favorite ski areas in the country. They won’t understand unless they actually go there on a powder day.
Hi Amanda...very nice video. At the 1:27 mark a song starts. Can you tell me the name and artist? Keep up the good work. Sorry if I didn't see the name if you listed it.
Walk into Miner's falls in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore for a beautiful frozen falls in the winter! it is just magical! Was the first scene of the Copper Dog race? Has the race been restarted for 2022?
You know that the Atlanta area has Michigans only wild Elk herd right? I’ve been lucky enough to capture them a few times near Vanderbilt in the Pigeon River State Forest. If me moving to Marquette doesn’t work out, the Gaylord area would be my next choice.
Little do you know I’m one of them “Trolls”. Go up to da U.P 3 times a year! Was planning on moving to Marquette but we switched our plans because your not extreme enough and now we’re moving to Alaska
Look, calm down. its not that dramatic. its cool yes, but -30 isnt too cold or neither is 6 inches of snow that much. go to a place like Norway, they're probably worse than copper harbor.
No one is being dramatic besides you :) of course there are colder places. Norway is partially in the Arctic circle; the U.P isnt so -30+ and 5ft of standing snow is a lot for the Midwest.
TANNERY FALLS IS NO LONGER OPEN DUE TO PRIVATE OWNERS REQUEST. Please don’t go to hike or ice climb
I think the Michigan Nature Association has purchased it.
I am from Rudyard and I am Soooooo HOME SICK! Thank You!!!
Wow, the birds eye video at the beginning is absolutely magical

Reminds me of Maine...Both are heaven on Earth.

from a loving in iron mountain, and this just popped into my recommendations lol
This is amazing! I love the U.P. and can't wait to move there.
Great video and music. Feeling better about snow removal after seeing that.
This film is beautiful and the music matches! Thank you!! Sending you the good vibrations!
Awesome video. The UP is fantastic. I can’t wait to go back.

Life moves a little slower up here in da u.p....and I like that.
Husband is from Escanaba, went to engineering school in Sault Ste Marie and Houghton back in the fifties. Have visited but never in winter! Looks beautiful.
What a beautiful presentation of the UP to remind me of my years growing up there.

Beautifully shot! My wife and I are moving to Marquette from LA in a couple of months. Can’t wait to breathe fresh air again.
I like this video because it shows the communities and beauty of the upper peninsula and being from gladstone, Im glad this was on my recommended
Beautiful- my wife is trying to move us to Northern MI for retirement. I say UP!
Theres literally nothing in what Trolls (people from the L.P., under the bridge) call "Northern Michigan" although I hear Traverse City and Petoskey are nice, but you may as well move to the U.P. I'd recommend Marquette.
Prepare yourself for REAL snow.

@@swtexan6502 People do a lot of ice fishing, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, downhill skiing and snowboarding and of course snowmobiling.
I'm gonna be going to MTU this fall for my PhD, graduating from Texas State! Eat em up!
Beautiful U.P. was stationed at Kinchloe AFB for a year in the mid 70s.
Thank you. Well done.
I deer hunted in Iron Mountain, -10 but awesome. My heart belongs to Michigan🥰
Ahhhhh the video quality is AMAZING I thought I was watching a movie!!
thank you!! We strive for that viewer experience!
This is so calming, so beautiful, so well done. Thank you!
I'm from Newberry and this video made me homesick.
Bob Farr I’m from Negaunee and am terribly homesick as well. I’m moving back to the area after 13 years in Utah.
I really want to move up there. I’m from southern Michigan. How hard is it to find jobs?
@@justinlamb3822 the Newberry area is really tourism driven and of course covid has reeked havoc on it. There is a Louisiana Pacific mill there as well as a prison. If your interested in either of those type of jobs.
@@bobfarr8822 What would be the best area if I’m skilled in automotive repair? I was thinking Marquette would be the best area for jobs
@@justinlamb3822 Marquette, Sault Ste Marie, Escanaba. Any larger town really.
Lived in Marquette county for 31 years now. Winter is definitely beautiful here but... It's also the bane of our existence here lol. Great video!
U.P. is a magical step back in time. Hermansville, Rodmans, Johns Deer hunters Balls..Fond memories. Nice Day Hey !
A nice blend of lifestyle and scenic, with really smooth pans and transitions. One of the best U.P. winter videos I've seen. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Too many people are trying to jazz up there videos with these insane transitions and all it’s doing is distracting you from the subject at hand.
@@AmandaXNorth Agreed 100%. Enviable and admirable work. :)
Incredible video! Thank you for sharing this beauty with us!

Man am I a sucker for any drone footage of snowy.. stuff. Nice.
Oh and great editing. Nioce.

This is just so stunningly beautiful! Although...you coulda come a tad further north!!!
I will be this upcoming February! Copper Harbor is calling my name for some winter fun!

Makes me proud to be a Michigan native. (Is your website down? Can't get to it...)
Ah yes. We’re rebranding do our new website is up for wedding clients but it currently doesn’t have any photography.

This video is so well done
Very nice....well done!
Wow!!!
Beautifully done. I'm always dreaming of moving to the U.P. I'm not too far away. What song was the last one on the video?
Thank you! I’m in the same place. No note than 2 years until I make the move to Marquette! Can’t wait! The song is “Winter Tears” by Raccoon Raccoon
Hey Michigan's upper peninsula is pretty in the winter time cold too think about what minus 40 + 5 ft of snow but pretty
Hi Amanda...very nice video. At the 1:27 mark a song starts. Can you tell me the name and artist? Keep up the good work. Sorry if I didn't see the name if you listed it.
Walk into Miner's falls in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore for a beautiful frozen falls in the winter! it is just magical!
Was the first scene of the Copper Dog race? Has the race been restarted for 2022?
That was the UP200 in Marquette. I know the UP200 will be going on this February, not sure on the Copper Dog
Gorgeous. Gorgeous. One day.
This is why the hubby and i ARE moving to Michigan around Atlanta or onaway area in 2021
You know that the Atlanta area has Michigans only wild Elk herd right? I’ve been lucky enough to capture them a few times near Vanderbilt in the Pigeon River State Forest. If me moving to Marquette doesn’t work out, the Gaylord area would be my next choice.
Winter in da u.p. means no black flies, no mosquitoes, ice caves, and no stupid lost foreigners in their rental cars.
Lovely 👴
I hope it doesn't get destroyed by the "outdoorsy Instagram crowd" like the western states have. Videos like this dont help with preservation.
On our local pasty site: www.pasty.com/discus/messages/12231/12624.html

STOP SHOWING THIS VIDEO!!!
The Trolls will get the idea they have to move here and there is already to many here
Little do you know I’m one of them “Trolls”. Go up to da U.P 3 times a year! Was planning on moving to Marquette but we switched our plans because your not extreme enough and now we’re moving to Alaska
Totally.
