Does winter depress you? Are your kids (and you) spending too much time just sitting? Are you a believer in “It’s never too late to learn”? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this blog is for you!
January has been declared Discover Michigan Snowsports Month. It’s a way to get folks like you (and me) out to enjoy all the winter season has to offer. This is your chance to learn a new winter sport while taking advantage of reduced prices. Cool, huh?
While other ski areas may offer the same deal, why not get your tips from the best?

There was a time when I was not winter’s biggest fan. Oh, I tolerated it and tried not to whine too much (well, sort of), but I certainly didn’t embrace the whole snow thing like I do now. This year I’m looking forward to relaxing in front of a cozy fire – but after I get off the trails. My knitting and jigsaw puzzles will wait, and I’m hoping my grandkids won’t leave me in the dust (or powder, in this case)! If you get the chance, make sure to take advantage of this great deal – Learn to Ski and Snowboard month runs from January 6 – January 31.
