The 2013 Ski for Light International Week

The 38th annual Ski for Light International Week will take place from Sunday January 27 through Sunday February 3, 2013 at Shanty Creek Resorts in northwest Lower Michigan. Located just 45 minutes from the Traverse City airport, near the town of Bellaire, Michigan, Shanty Creek Resorts is a large complex of three housing and entertainment villages, both downhill and cross-country ski trails, a tubing park, an ice skating rink, sleigh rides, an outdoor hot-tub and much more. Shanty Creek Resorts is a true destination resort, with everything you might want right on the grounds. If you do want to explore further, there is even a free shuttle into Bellaire, just three miles away.

We will be staying at the Lakeview Hotel and Conference Center in Summit Village, in the heart of the complex. Cross-country skiing will take place just a short shuttle ride away on the well- groomed 30 km trail system.

Additional information about the 2013 event, including on-line applications, will be posted here on or about July 1st. In the meantime, put the dates on your calendar, and start spreading the word about what is sure to be another great Ski for Light week.
