Fourth Graders Ski Free!

Fourth Graders Ski Free

The MSIA wants to be part of the solution for Michigan's less-than-healthy kids so we've established a state-wide program that provides every fourth grader in Michigan the opportunity to ski for free, three times at each participating ski area when accompanied by a paying adult.

Olympians to train in Michigan!!

The Otsego Ski Club will host some of the world's top Olympic snowboard athletes training for the February 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Top board riders from seven national teams will gather at the club in Gaylord, Michigan for practice sessions this winter. The primary attraction to the Otsego club is the facility's 22-foot pipe, the largest east of the Rockies. The pipe is very similar to the one they will perform on at the Olympics.
