Sledding Hills & More Near You: Cool Places in Michigan Where You Can Have a Blast this Winter

Technically, spring begins in March. But we live in Michigan, and that means the snow might be here until the end of April.  For those of you who love winter sports, that means you have plenty of time left to enjoy all the winter wonders that this Great Lakes state has to offer. Have you hit the slopes yet? Are you looking for a fun sledding hill for your children? You may be well aware of the big names in outdoor winter sports in Michigan, like the Boyne Mountain Resort in Charlevoix County, the Mt. Holly Ski & Snowboard Resort in Holly,  or the nearby Pine Knob Ski Resort in Clarkston. We love those spots just as much as you do! But there are many lesser-known places near you where you can feel the rush and make lasting memories. Whether you’re a new apartment resident or have been in southeast Michigan forever and are looking for something new, allow us to point out some amazing locations – both large and small – for sledding, skiing, snow tubing, snowshoeing, snowboarding, and more this winter.
