FROM Mt. McSauba >> Welcome to the winter snow storm of the year! We've had a few people asking, and the ski hill will continue to be closed tonight for the safety of all skiers and our employees. Snow drifts at people's homes and on the roads are extremely dangerous.
All of the Charlevoix County and City staff are working extremely hard to clear the roads as best as they can, and we are grateful for their hard work. At this time, it is not safe to travel on the roads, so we hope everyone stays inside and safe! The ski hill will be open again on Thursday for the start of our Winterfest Activites! #mtmcsauba #SkiMichiganWelcome to the winter snow storm of the year!
