Blue Shore has been busy this winter getting an inside face lift. Ben and Jenna have been repainting the main floor bedrooms in a pretty blue color perfect for the beach cottage chic style! Pictures to come soon.
While we aren't accepting guests for winter this year Traverse City does have tons to offer! Like winter sports: downhill skiing, cross country skiing, tubing, and snow shoeing. Here are some of our favorite ski hills....
Crystal Mountain:
Crystal Mountain is located just about an hour from Traverse City and boasts 45 downhill slopes, 4 terrain parks, a beginner area, lessons for all ages, and rentals. We particularly love it for its accommodations, the restaurant/bar area, and fun family atmosphere.
Boyne Mountain and Boyne Highlands:
Boyne Mountain is one of the more popular ski hills about 1.5 hours north of Traverse City. With 2 mountains and 115 ski slopes there is something for everyone. Including tubing, zip line adventure, plenty of trails for cross country skiing and snowshoeing, and even a water park for after skiing fun.
Nubs Nob
Nubs Nob is Jenna's favorite ski area. As a VERY novice skier it has some of the funnest slopes around. Nubs is located in Petoskey area very close to Boyne Mountain and boasts 53 runs. The lodge area is very comfortable too!
Hickory Hills and Mt Holiday

If you want to stay close to town, may we suggest Hickory Hills and Mt. Holiday for your outdoor winter adventures. Both hills are smaller and perfect for beginners. Other outdoor adventures include tubing and cross country skiing. This is the perfect area for families with little children.
So we hope you enjoy your outdoor adventures and looking forward to our guests in summer. Speaking of summer....be sure to visit Blue Shore on VRBO to book your summer vacation. Reservations are filling up fast. Happy 2013!!!
