    4th graders ski free in MI

    If you have 4th grade children who ski in Michigan, do not forget about the Cold is Cool program. 4th graders ski free several places for a couple of days each. But, you do need to send away for the "passport". It takes about 3 weeks, so do it soon before the season starts. The only cost is...

    Short Jr. Race skis

    Any suggestions/opinions for Jr. Race skis in a 120 cm length? I am not finding much. Only Atomic & Elan. I would prefer a GS ski to a S for her. She is light weight, but very strong for her size and age. She will only be 6 this season and it will be her second year club racing. Thanks in...

    Caberfae/Crystal opening day

    We were at Crystal opening day (Thanksgiving). Conditions were good; however, not much of the terrain was open...only the clipper chair and the 2 place just to the left of the clipper if you are facing the hill. Nothing steep (Thor, Loki, Buck, etc. were not open). Not icey. Plenty of snow...

However, I am now being told by ski instructors/coaches (no personal interest in selling skis) that they really need to go to racing skis. Which, honestly, I thought they were ready to switch to at the begining...

    Schuss Mountain

    Has anyone ever skied Schuss Mountain? I haven't and was wondering how it compares to Crystal, Caberfae, and/or Boyne? How challenging is it? Are there a lot of flats (like Crystal)? Thanks!

    Kid's ski lessons

    I was just wondering, are levels for ski lessons relatively consistant? For example, if my daughter is a level 6 at Solitude, is that what I should sign her up for in Whistler? (I do realize smaller resorts, such as those in Michigan, may have different standards. But, I was thinking of the...

    Talent in children? If so, what next?

    My children love to ski (ages 6, 6, and 3). I have been told I really need to get my daughter (age 6) into racing, that she has a "talent". She more or less began skiing this past season. She raced 2 times last season, once taking first in a 6 and under age range. And, not placing the second...
