Slipping and Sliding

Why schlep to the mountains for your winter sports fix? An average 100 inches of snow piles up annually in central Michigan, making it a bargain for snowmobiling and skiing (downhill too!).

Come January, the triangle stretching from Ludington and Manistee on the shores of Lake Michigan to Cadillac, 45 miles inland, becomes a great getaway for outdoor adventure. Prefer shopping and sipping hot cocoa at a historic inn? Not to worry. Michigan's snow country caters to the athletically challenged, too.
