The Michigan Alpine Competition Council (MACC) is;
"...a non-profit organization made of amateur ski racers who work as volunteers to run the main Alpine ski racing program for adults in the Michigan region. Our race series covers 12 races over five weekends each year at Boyne Mountain. It's open to virtually all adult recreational racers and also 14, 15, 16, and 17-year old racers with MACC parents. You race in a class based on ability and gender. Ability groups with lots of racers are further divided by age. Most races are FIS slalom and giant slalom. We also have a genuine super-G and a super-combined fun race at the end of the season."

Valley Spur is a favorite Alger County destination for dedicated cross-country skiers and snowshoers. It is located on M-94 approximately 5 miles west of Munising, Michigan in the Hiawatha National Forest.
The 27-mile cross-country trail system is groomed daily or as the need arises from December through March so that the trails are always ready.
All trails are groomed for both skate and classic ski.
Valley Spur usually enjoys a deep snow base thanks to heavy accumulations from the lake effect off Lake Superior.
The Taste and Glide is an annual event costing around $10 for the food that is both in the lodge and at junctions out on the trail. Music is included!
Lodging will be at the AmericInn in Munising. Trip leaders are still working out the details. More info coming soon.
