Wintry Wednesday: Get ready to ski, Michigan!
The Michigan Snowsports Industries Association (MSIA) reports that thanks to our current bout of wintry weather, most ski areas across Michigan have fired up their snow guns. Some will open this weekend and more will be open by Thanksgiving. Ski areas planning to open on or before Friday, November 28 include: Boyne Mountain, Boyne Highlands, Marquette Mountain, Ski Brule, Crystal Mountain, Nubs Nob, Alpine Valley, Mt. Holly, Mt. Brighton, Pine Knob, Indianhead Mountain, Pine Mountain, Caberfae Peaks, Cannonsburg, Norway Mountain and Shanty Creek.
The MSIA also reminds you that Michigan 4th graders can ski for free! Click that link for details on how to get their tickets and also information about the White Gold Card – a pass that gives skiers of all ages a chance to ski at each of 29 ski areas!
If you’re looking for more deals on Michigan skiing, be sure to check out the Michigan Ski & Snowboarding blog. In addition to deals on lift tickets and lodging from all across the state, they have snow reports, webcams and ski & snowboarding video.
Did somebody say video? Skiers know that it’s not ski season until Warren Miller’s latest film hits the screen. You can watch a trailer below and visit the Warren Miller web site find dates and locations for any of the many screenings in Michigan in the next few weeks!
