Michigan: Bellaire, Shanty Creek Resorts, Kids Ski Free and Eat Free.021MIShantySkiers Northern Michigan is blissfully snowy this time of year making snow deals enticing to any who earn to have fun wearing mittens and boots. Skiing, snowshoeing, snow mobiling, snowboarding, and snow tubing, dog sledding make the list.

I am passing along promising news from Shanty Creek Resorts because the savings are real and doing any of these things for less means more fun.
 
Here’s the deal. Shanty offers a variety of deals and specials throughout ski season. There are overnight weekend packages starting at $109 pp/pn, which include a one-day Superticket (including cross-country trails), breakfast, and a group ski clinic for those 13 years and older. Midweek rates start at $75 pp/pn (double occupancy) and include the same perks as the weekend deals. All of Shanty's packages and deals feature a kids-eat-free bonus - kids 8 years old and under eat breakfast for free from the kids menu when accompanying a paying adult.
About the resort. Shanty Creek is a sprawling 4,500-acre recreational complex of three separate "villages" - Summit, Schuss and Cedar River - in the beautiful Chain of Lakes region just northeast of Traverse City.

Ski Magazine has rated it the Midwest's number-one destination in value, dining, lodging, weather and après ski activities. Its ski areas feature a 450-foot vertical with 49 runs for every ability level, plus four snowboarding terrain parks and a tubing park. Its other facilities include over 500 rooms, 72 holes of championship golf, a Wellness Spa and over 35,600 square feet of meeting space. Although it's not the most modern of Shanty's three component villages, Schuss Mountain has always claimed a special place in the hearts of generations of Midwesterners. It is similar in atmosphere to Vail and other small Colorado ski towns but with a quirky Midwestern style.

Location on the planet: Shanty Creek Resorts One Shanty Creek Road Bellaire, Michigan 49615
