Michigan's ski resorts are taking advantage of the wintry weather.
This is a big week for the snow sports industry....with families able to hit the slopes during the holiday break.
Mickey MacWilliams directs the Michigan Snowsports Industries Association.
She says new artificial snow technology will allow for better skiing conditions this year.
"Even if there isn't snow in your backyard, if it's 28 degrees or below, our ski areas are covered with snow," she said.
