Snow means good business for Michigan ski resorts.

WHITE LAKE, Mich. – The snow cannons were on full blast at Alpine Valley in White Lake as the ski resort prepares to open Tuesday afternoon. We’ve been really hoping for the cold weather to come, week by week,” said Brian Snabes with Alpine Valley. Three of their 25 runs will be open. It’s a slower start but with man made snow blasting overnight, skiers should have ideal conditions this week. We’re hoping as the season progresses we’ll be able to change that and open the lodge back up.”Watch the full report in the video posted above.
