Plymouth Michigan News

The forecast is in–a chance of snow. It’s a chance to conquer new hills and explore new trails. A chance to bundle up, get outside and laugh with the ones we  love. Welcome to the winter wonderland of Pure Michigan.

Whether tubing and sledding, ice fishing, dog sledding or hunting, Michigan winters offer outdoor enthusiasts, families and adventure seekers a chance to get their adrenalin pumping among glistening landscapes that only happen once a year.

Michigan is home to 6,500 miles of snowmobile trails, 3,000 miles of cross country skiing trails, beautiful terrain for snowshoeing and much more. We are the birthplace of organized skiing and snowboarding and Michigan ranks second in the nation for number of skiing areas found across the state.

There are indoor adventures, too. Museums, water parks, spas and romantic getaways entice hibernators to come out to play.

So, grab your mittens and head outside because every day is a snow day in Pure Michigan.

Traverse City comes alive in winter. Nearly every weekend is filled with festivals, great fun family activities, or a snowsports racing event. Whether it’s the Traverse City Winter Comedy Arts Festival, the North American Vasa Festival of Races, or the family-friendly YetiFest in picturesque Suttons Bay, there’s always something exciting taking place here–Michigan’s True North!
