Whirl and twirl your way through the month of February on the ice or on the stage at the free Chicago Winter Dance fes­ti­val in the award-winning Millennium Park. From ice danc­ing and ice skat­ing lessons at the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink to dance lessons behind the glass doors on the Jay Pritzker Pavilion stage, there is some­thing for every­one this win­ter in Chicago.

The Michigan Snowsports Industries Association (MSIA) is sell­ing a card that allows the holder to ski at 28 dif­fer­ent Michigan ski areas this win­ter for just $189.

Just because sum­mer has offi­cially ended doesn’t mean camp­ing sea­son has to be! Camping is an excel­lent com­ple­ment to lots of favorite fall and win­ter activ­i­ties, includ­ing tail­gat­ing, fish­ing, hunt­ing, hik­ing, snow­mo­bil­ing and ski­ing, if you have an RV.
