Did you know that West Michigan (Muskegon Winter Sports Complex to be exact) has 1 of only 4 luge tracks in the entire United States (the other  courses are located in Lake Placid, Salt Lake City and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula)?

Well, last weekend my kids and I tried luging for the first time, and we had a ton of fun! Imagine going 20 mph and only being 6 inches off the ice. Now imagine doing that at 8 years old like my son. I don’t think he’ll forget it for quite a while. What a great way to spend a winter afternoon!

This made me think about what makes West Michigan so unique. Despite what the media reports, Michigan has a vibrant economy. We also have four seasons of fantastic outdoor activities that you can’t find in very many other places. We invite you to take a look at living in West Michigan, stop by the luge track this winter, enjoy our many lakes during the summer, watch a sunset on Lake Michigan at any time…

Come see what Michigan has to offer!
