CLARKSTON, Mich. — Michigan McDonald's restaurants have teamed up with ski areas across the state to offer Discover Michigan Skiing, an introduction to skiing and snowboarding.
The program, which has run every January for the past 15 years, includes a beginner lesson, ski or snowboard rental equipment and a beginner-area ski lift pass or cross-country trail pass. Eighteen ski facilities are offering the package, which will be honored through Jan. 31, 2008. The price for the program — downhill or cross-country skiing — is $30 for adults and $25 for children 7 to 14 years old. The snowboard price is $40, for everyone 10 years and older.
The lesson normally covers basic maneuvering on skis or snowboards, including stopping, turning, riding the lifts and getting up from a fall.
