Yeah my dad and I are thinking about going this year, we'll see how the weather. They have a tip of town website and it gives you the list of events that are going on for both weekends. As of right now I read a report that the lake has anywhere from 6 to 12 in. of ice with some water spots toward the middle. The nice thing about Houghton Lake is it is shallow. I don't think they have much snow though, report said only about an inch on the lake. As far as trails go for that area, I wouldn't expect them to be that great unless they get some more snow. Does anyone know if you can get on some trails directly from the lake? My dad hasn't been there in a long time, I think the late 70's but even back then he said it was a blast. Just seeing all the sleds is an amazing sight. And of course the BEER TENT!

I heard they were going to offer some new things this year that they haven't offered before, either way I'm sure it will be a good time. Lets hope for cold weather and some snow. If the weather is good, we will be there for sure.
