"White Gold" Found on Michigan Ski Hills

Michigan Snowsports Industries Association Makes It Possible to Ski at 31 Areas for $199

(firmenpresse) - CLARKSTON, MI -- (Marketwire) -- 10/02/12 -- The Michigan Snowsports Industries Association (MSIA) has produced a card that allows the holder to ski at 31 different Michigan ski areas this winter for just $199. Called the MSIA White Gold Card, purchasers are entitled to ski one time at each of the participating ski areas during the 2012/2013 ski season. Also included is one free ski tune-up (edge sharpen and wax), three additional hot wax sessions and a coupon valid for $20 off a purchase of $100 or more at participating MSIA ski retailers.

"The White Gold Card is an exceptional value," says Steve Kershner, chairman of the MSIA and director of skiing for Shanty Creek Resorts in Bellaire. "If you paid for a lift ticket at each of these ski areas and paid for the services that come with the card, you would be spending over $1,100."

The card looks like a credit card, divided into squares. Each ski area is assigned to a square and one square is designated for the ski tune-up. The purchaser takes the White Gold Card to the ski area's lift ticket window, where the square corresponding to that ski area is punched out. White Gold Card skiers are allowed to ski one time at each ski area, midweek or weekend. The card is valid for the entire ski season, except for December 24, 2012 through January 2, 2013. The cards are non-refundable and non-transferable. To get the tune-up and hot waxes, White Gold Card purchasers take their skis or boards to one of the over 48 participating ski shops.

MSIA developed the White Gold Card as a fundraising endeavor and limits its production to 400 cards. "We've found from past years' sales that they go quickly," says Kershner. He suggests that anyone interested in purchasing a card should do so as soon as possible.
