On this week's program host, Phil Tower welcomes Dave Lorenz, Vice President-Travel Michigan. Dave joined us in our first segment to talk about enjoying winter in West Michigan. That's right, winter, even for those who don't enjoy this time of year can be an absolute delight here in pure Michigan. Dave says even if you’re exploring Michigan for the first time this winter, there are several activities and places to put on your list to get the authentic Michigan experience. These places make the Mitten State a distinctly great destination when the snow falls. Some of the mini winter activities you can enjoy in our great state include skiing and snowboarding, snowmobiling, cross, country skiing, snowshoeing, luge, tubing and sledding, ice fishing, sleigh rides, and so much more.
