BOYNE FALLS, MI - Michigan’s ski hills are seeing a lot of action this deep into winter, but not everyone zipping down the slopes is attached to a pair of skis or a snowboard.
Sno-Go bikes - you ride astride them like a bicycle and they have skis on the bottom - have been really popular at Boyne Mountain Resort in Boyne Falls and its sister site, Boyne Highlands in nearby Harbor Springs. For a lot of first-time users, they offer a new way to enjoy the ski hills, even for people who have never skied before.

I headed to northern Michigan this month to find out.
I’d long been curious about the ski resorts in Michigan, but it took a global health pandemic to get me to make the long drive from Cleveland.

The humble frozen burrito wears many hats. Late night snack, quick morning breakfast, or hotel dinner are all ways that I’ve enjoyed various frozen burritos. They’re like sex or pizza in that, even when they’re not great, you’d still rather have it than not. A burrito from Happy’s Taco Shop isn’t a half crocked solution but a full-blown answer to store-bought or fast food burrito woes. You won’t find these in a lit-up, refrigerated glass case at a Marriot. These heavenly heroes are at The Little Fleet and you don’t have to worry about them getting soggy before you get home. Co-owner and burrito maker Drake Nagel has nostalgia for the freezer-dwelling meal too.
