Join us in re-welcoming the Middle Earth Snow Series slopestyle snowboard event! The event will be open to snowboarders of all ages and feature prizes from K2, Lib Tech, GNU, Rossignol, and many more. Otsego Club guests can try out their new “snowskate park” just outside the Otsego Lodge; and if snowboarders get too cold but still want something to do they can step inside the Otsego Resort and skateboard in their 30’ indoor mini-bowl.

Also, aside from all the fun and excitement of their skiing and snowboarding events, the Otsego Club will also be hosting the 2009 Canadian Snocross Can-Am Challenge. As part of the International Series of Champions (ISOC) Michigan Regional Tour, the Can-Am Challenge will serve up some of the best snowmobile racing Michigan has to offer.
