Winter is in full swing as snow is falling and temperatures are dropping. The snowfall this season has been extraordinary and outdoor enthusiasts are in freshie powder heaven. The snow has reached record levels in parts of California, Colorado and Utah so if you are a winter sport adventurer then the season is upon you. If you’re planning a trip to a mountain resort then you can’t forget to pack these must have items.
Ski pants, jacket, gloves and a warm hat go without explanation, because if you need to be told to bring these then maybe you shouldn’t be going in the first place.
Here are some items that are often forgotten.
Warm socks
A good pair of ski socks are so crucial to your comfort and often overlooked. Many people just toss their old gym socks in their ski bag and call it a day. Boo to you I say. Any skier or boarder worth their weight will tell you that cotton is not the way to go. A wool blend or synthetic sock is the best way to go. I advise a trip to your local sports store or ski shop to find the perfect pair. When shopping for socks, make sure they are not too tight because proper circulation is key to keeping your extremities nice and toasty.
Long johns or Thermals
Fashion be damned when skiing or snowboarding is all about keeping warm and dry. Layering is your best friend and it’s always smart to start off with a quality pair of thermal long underwear. Steer clear of the cheap stuff and invest in a nice pair, this time I recommend cotton or a blend. Synthetic fabric doesn’t breathe as well and you want sole of the heat to escape so you don’t sweat too much.
Hand and feet warmers
These little buggers are a lifesaver. What many people don’t understand is that skiing and snowboarding is actually about 60% sitting in the ski lift, so hand and foot warmers come in handy. See what I did there, pun time! These guys can be found at almost any store in a colder climate, usually by the checkout register. If no luck there, I guarantee them to be at ski shops or a sporting goods store. They cost less than a few dollars and last up to 8 hours.
Adventure pack
A good quality adventure backpack or waist pack are key to any good ski trip. When buying one, look for a secondary securing apparatus like a waist or chest strap. This will help with all the vigorous activity you are about to do.
A good pack can hold all your stuff and so much needed water. Staying hydrated is important and often over looked because you are in cold weather. I like a pack that also has a hydration system, like a Camelback.
Goggles/sunglasses
It’s so bright in the mountain during the day it’s crazy. My first time skiing I was amazed at how blinded I was from the sun reflecting off the snow. Grab a cheap pair of shades that you don’t mind breaking or losing.
Nighttime skiing can be dangerous without a good pair or goggles. The wind is whipping around and snow can be blinding, so quality goggles can save the night.
Sunscreen
Everyone always forgets the sunscreen. I understand, you figure it’s cold and you are all bundled up, but you don’t know want to look like a raccoon when you return home. I recommend a strong sun block, SPF 50 or above and get a waterproof or sweatproof one. You’d be surprised at how much you actually sweat when skiing or snowboarding.
Helmet
We aren’t all professional snowboarders or skiers so grab a helmet and wear it. They serve multiple purposes; a) to keep your noggin safe and b) to keep that same noggin warm. Most of your body heat escapes through the head and a stocking cap doesn’t always work best. You can rent a helmet at every reputable ski resort and most ski rental shops. They want you to come back so they always offer helmets for safety reasons.
Comfy sweats
When you get off the slopes and take a long hot shower or jacuzzi you are going to want some comfortable sweats to lounge in, believe me. The warmer and softer the better, your sore body will thank you.
Flask
I’m not advocating skiing or snowboarding drunk but a little nip of an old flask always warms you up from the inside out. Maybe save this for after your skiing is done for the day or maybe not, I’m not your parent or guardian.
GoPro
These little guys are awesome and getting increasingly more affordable. They are impact and water resistant so throw them into your adventure pack and capture all the amazing memories. Just make sure the battery is charged and memory card is empty so you don’t accidentally tape over your kid’s recital.
Good luck out there and remember to have fun, life is too short.

Michigan’s Five Biggest Snowstorms
The last time Michigan had a snowy Christmas morning was in 2017. This year, people in Michigan are hoping, once more, to get a snowy Christmas. And while the hopes are running high, Gander Newsroom, a Courier Newsroom publication, recently wrote about some of Michigan’s worst snowstorms.
The Upper Peninsula Snowstorm, 2022
Only eight months ago Michigan was thrashed was a snowstorm that lasted two days. The snowstorm impacted Marquette and surrounding areas in the Upper Peninsula. The storm started on Feb 21, and a total of 37.1 inches of snowfall was recorded. Several roads had to be closed because of complete whiteouts and negative temperatures. Luckily for Michigan’s residents, there were no strong winds and that kept the damage to a minimum.
The Great Blizzard, 1978
This storm is an anomaly on the list because it was not one but two storms at the same time. One coming from the Gulf of Mexico and the other from Canada. The two collided to form a slow-moving blizzard. In Muskegon, this snowstorm dropped 30 inches of snow, and averaged 10 inches elsewhere in the state, stated the article by the Courier Newsroom publication. This storm proved to be quite fatal as it took the lives of 20 people in Michigan.Â
The Blizzard, 1967
The winter of 1967 was unusual because it was one of the warmest on record. In fact, the state also received its first thunderstorm in January. With temperatures in the high 50s, when this blizzard rolled in, it inevitably took Michiganders by surprise. The snowstorm caused Michigan University to halt classes for the first time in over 100 years. More than a dozen people pushing stalled cars and shoveling snow died because of heart attacks. The storm dumped 15 inches across 80 miles and impacted Mitten, Benton Harbor, Harbor Beach, and Williamston.
Summer Squalls, 1923
Nothing is more unpredictable than snow in summer, but this is exactly what happened in the summer of 1923. On May 8, 1923, just when Michiganders were unrolling their summer clothes and preparing for boat trips on the beach, temperatures suddenly dropped. Within a night, much of the state was covered under an inch of snow and it kept coming the next day. By the time it stopped snowing, most of Michigan was covered in 6-9 inches of snow, The Gander Newsroom reported, a Courier Newsroom publication. Frigid temperatures continued for a few more days after the first snowfall. Lansing and Flint were impacted the most with a full foot of snow being dumped. This snowstorm, luckily, did not cause any property damage or pose a risk to people’s lives. It only gave an unsavory start to summer.Â
White Hurricane, 1913
This snowstorm is perhaps the only one on this list with a truly intimidating name and rightly so because this was one big snowstorm. This is, without a doubt, the deadliest storm in Michigan’s history. The White Hurricane lasted for 4 days, blasting winds exceeding 90 mph. These winds were responsible for whiteout conditions and massive drifts, with waves reaching 30 ft. The storm sunk 12 ships, damaged 30, and five went missing. According to the National Weather Service, the damage caused by the storm would amount to $117 million today.

Types of entrepreneurs + examples
There are different  types of entrepreneurs , because independent businesses are today. However, things are not as easy as we would like. Despite that, of course it’s worth venturing out and getting started. For this, it is important to be clear about the types of entrepreneurship and the types of entrepreneurs that exist. Here you will meet them and you will be able to detect which of them you are or want to be. First we are going to address the types of entrepreneurship and then the types of entrepreneurs and some examples so that the subject is more than clear.

What is an entrepreneur?
An entrepreneurial person is one capable of taking risks and assuming them, with the aim of building a company or shaping a project to generate income. The main goal of any entrepreneur is to have something of their own that helps them obtain not only economic benefits, but also personal and emotional ones. To do this, they have to be innovative and have leadership .
Main characteristics of entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs are not born being strategists or having everything necessary to detect opportunities. They must go on training and gaining experience to become true entrepreneurs. Some of the characteristics of entrepreneurs are the following.
1. They are highly motivated
Business opportunities are like life for entrepreneurs, but when that desire and spirit fade (it’s normal), they are able to continue with their projects because of the discipline they manage to develop. These are people willing to dedicate a lot of time and the necessary resources to bring their project to fruition, always knowing that it can take several months to get off the ground.
2. They are creative
Creativity cannot be absent in entrepreneurial people, since it is what allows them to respond to the needs of society in a unique and different way. Only from this characteristic can they establish new products that are superior to those that already exist in the market, having opportunities to position them.Â
3. They are moved by passion
Another of the great characteristics of entrepreneurs is passion, since the road is usually hard and there are always challenges before and during the journey, so they must have the ability to motivate themselves through passion for their projects. Entrepreneurs are usually moved by a strong desire to be different from the rest and to be able to provide an innovative product that offers solutions that are much more focused on their target audience.
4. They are not afraid of risk
Entrepreneurship always carries risks, so people who want to start a project must be willing to run them, accept them and always work to solve them. When you undertake, uncertainty is a constant factor and you have to be aware of it and see everything as an opportunity to achieve your goals, without fear.Â
5. They are self-confident people
Without this feature, it is almost impossible for a person to start a project from scratch and achieve success. Regardless of the type of entrepreneur they are, they must have confidence in themselves and in the product they want to launch. Only then will they be able to stand firm despite the problems that may arise and turn them around to achieve their goals.
What are the types of entrepreneurship?
Entrepreneurship, in general, is the process by which a company is planned, developed and launched, but there are different types of entrepreneurship. People have diverse aspirations and visions about the business they want to create and factors such as personality, characteristics and abilities come into play in the development, which determines the type of venture in question. Each type of entrepreneur, although they must face similar challenges, definitely addresses them differently, for this reason, there is a classification of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship.
5 types of entrepreneurship
The classifications vary, but I am going to address eight types of entrepreneurship that I consider to be the most important. Let’s go to them.
1. Small Business Entrepreneurship
Much of the business that exists today is small business. These are companies that simply seek to generate income to support their family and be able to have a modest lifestyle. The objective is not to obtain profits on a large scale, but to bet on a sustainable business with the help of local personnel. For example, shops, hairdressers, small boutiques, among others.
2. Entrepreneurship of large companies
This type of entrepreneurship is sought by much more experienced people who know how to seek and sustain innovation at a high level. Large companies focus on needs with high demand and that are important to consumers. Some such companies are Google, Microsoft, Apple and Disney.

3. Scalable startup business
When you bet on a scalable start-up venture, it is because you have the belief that the company in question has strong potential to change the world at some point. Generally, these projects receive financing from venture capitalists and have specialized personnel. The focus of these companies is to detect opportunities and create solutions. Among the most popular scalable startups are Uber and Facebook.
4. Social entrepreneurship
Here, more than an economic benefit, it seeks to solve social problems through products and services. The main objective is to make the world a much better space. You do not work to earn a large income or fill bank accounts, but to build non-profit organizations or a company that works for the social good to improve the quality of life of a community.
5. Technological entrepreneurship
As its name suggests, this type of entrepreneurship is related to science and technology. It is about launching new products with a great impact within the market. Due to the above, they require strong capital, which they obtain through government or private entities, which are in charge of providing everything necessary for the product to be launched on the market as quickly as possible.
