While Winter 2008 hasn't been good for things like car makers, investments and national economies, it has presented us with some incredible conditions for skiing and snowboarding.
USA Today noticed that Midwest skiers have all kinds of options in Michigan where we have more downhill areas - 42 - than any state except New York with 200 chairlifts, 840 runs and 40 terrain parks! Our Michigan Ski Tour series from last year runs them all down and remains a great resource for skiers and snowboarders, giving you a tour of where to cross-country or downhill ski or board.

If you're just starting out, check out the Discover Michigan Skiing program that offers a chance to get equipment, ticket and lessons in January for the low (low) price of $30!
You can get a bunch more ski links on the Absolute Michigan Skiing & Snowboard page and also at the keywords skiing and snowboard. Some of our favorite links are the Michigan Snowsports Industries Association (featuring links to Michigan ski areas and all kinds of deals for skiers like the White Gold Card & free skiing for Michigan 4th graders), the powder-packed Michigan Ski Blog (deals, snow reports & webcams), Jim Neff's Michigan Skier TV and great Michigan destinations like Copper Peak Ski Flying and the U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame and Ski Museum.
