No one wants to sit at home on a Saturday night when they could be out taking advantage of the amazing winter weather. There is such a large number of fun activities that only the winter can bring to the table. Sledding, skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, snowball fights, and more! The best part is that you don&#8217;t have to go very far in order to take part in the fun.<\/p>\n<p>1. Sledding: Numerous parks in the Tri-City area are home to giant hills that are perfect for sledding. A popular one is Vet&#8217;s Park, located in Bay City. But nothing beats Memorial Park in Frankenmuth. Complete with over five different monster hills and other smaller hills perfect for younger kids.<\/p>\n<p>2. Ice Skating: The Saginaw Bay Ice Arena is the perfect place to go ice skating during the cold winter months. They offer different open skate hours that can be viewed at\u00a0http:\/\/www.gsaha.net\/page_content.php?PageID=106<\/p>\n<p>3. Skiing\/ Snowboarding: If you aren&#8217;t looking for a long drive, Apple Mountain is always a great place for new snowboarders and skiers. If you are willing to drive a little farther , Caberfae in Cadillac, MI, is said to have some of the best slopes around. And is well worth the two hour drive.<\/p>\n<p>4. Post Fun Hot Chocolate: An obvious choice for a warm hot chocolate or coffee would be Tim Hortons. All of their drinks are highly ranked in taste and in price. If you are looking for a post fun meal, they are also a good choice. However, the best place to stop at after a fun day of winter activities in Tony&#8217;s. They are located all over the Saginaw area, and the food is top notch. After all, what beats all day breakfast?<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to take advantage of the snow and winter season while it&#8217;s still here. And don&#8217;t forget to have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicole Charlton &#8217;16 Staff Writer Even with exams and winter sports in full swing, it is important for students to take a break and enjoy themselves.
