Compared to the last few heartland winters, this is a winter that we sports enthusiasts can embrace. It's certainly the best start in northern Michigan that I can recall. Both skiers and ski areas love it. Where I live on Lake Michigan near Traverse City, it's dropped dramatically in the last couple of years.
Snow is good.
More snow is better. Keep it coming. The event titled Boarding and Skiing for Breast Cancer , sponsored by Fitness Magazine , is taking place at a handful of ski areas nationwide on that date, and Crystal is the only Midwest site for the national fundraising event. Skiers and boarder of all ability levels sign up, gather pledges and than hit the slopes on the sixth. In addition the top three fundraisers receive free snowboards.
