Throwback Saturday

March 4, 2023

On March 11, Treetops Resort in Gaylord is taking us back in time. In the 1950s, the ski hill was named Sylvan Knob Ski Area, and Treetops’ Sylvan Daze celebrates the resort’s history with a full day of fun in the snow. Lift tickets cost what they did 70 years ago—just $3 apiece—and a snow volleyball tournament will rage from 10am to 1pm. (Register by March 9; $50 for a team of four to six.) The Treetops Slush Cup follows with all its wild, messy glory, and a DJ and live entertainment will keep the party hopping throughout the afternoon. For more Treetops fun, wrap up on the slopes by 6pm and head over to their convention center for the 12th annual Michigan Beer & Wine Festival ($45 per person, ages 21+), which features dozens of local beer, wine, and cider makers. Get the details on both events at treetops.com.
