FROM Pine River Paddlesports Center >> There are so many fun things to do outside in the snow in Michigan❄ One of our favorites is cross country skiing! Did you know that there is a fantastic cross country ski trail right around the corner from us? MacKenzie Cross Country Ski Trail is located by our local ski resort, Caberfae Peaks. It is quite an extensive trail system of 25 miles, ranging from 'easy' to 'difficult', and the trails are groomed by volunteers. It is our favorite place to go cross country skiing when we have the chance - it's beautiful and close by! We were able to enjoy about an hour there a couple of weeks ago when I took these pictures - there was fresh snow and we had a great time❄ Don't have skis? No problem! Caberfae Peaks rents them so you can give it a try if you've never done it before. Happy skiing! #caberfaepeaks#crosscountry#snowphotos#SkiMichigan... See MoreSee Less

4th and 5th Graders Ski ALL WINTER LONG with our App!
MSIA Cold is Cool Passport allows Fourth and Fifth Graders to Ski All Winter Long in Michigan! Families can obtain a Cold is Cool Ski & Ride Passport App for their 4th and/or 5th graders that gives them up to three free lift tickets or trail passes at 29 participating ski areas, plus additional discounts on the slopes and in Michigan ski shops. MSIA charges $30 for the passport; $25 covers operating expenses and $5 goes to MIsnow, a new charitable organization that helps get underprivileged kids out on our slopes & trails in the winter. MIsnow also works to preserve the strong cultural past of Michigan skiing and protect its future with sustainability education.
In addition to the lift tickets donated by the participating ski areas, Cold is Cool Passport also includes a coupon for 20% off a helmet purchase and $20 off the purchase of $100 at participating ski shops across the state. Some ski areas have also included coupons for equipment rental and free or discounted lessons.
The Passport is an app to download on your phone, making it contactless at the lift ticket window.
Once the application is complete, you will receive an email with instructions on how to download the app.
To get a lift ticket, you will bring your child and your phone (or other device that you have loaded the app on) to the ski area. Show the offer you want to redeem to the ticket attendant and press the redeem button to receive your child’s lift ticket or other offer in the Cold is Cool App. It’s that simple!
CHECK YOUR PASSPORT APP FOR EXCLUSION DATES AND THE SKI AREA’S WEBSITE before heading to the slopes. Know before you go!
You can also show proof of grade at a participating ski shop and gain instant access to the Cold is Cool App. No need to wait for MSIA’s approval or upload proof of grade!
