The dancing aurora borealis was ✨on point ✨ last night at Sleeping Bear Chalet! The best viewing for us was on the hill immediately before the hairpin turn at Sunrise Chair. The Aurora App gave my son a notification that there was a 30% chance of viewing —- I was skeptical!!! Did I really want to hop into a car at 10:30 pm or would I rather start the next episode of Bridgerton??? For only 30%???? Well, I made the right decision; Anthony can wait! As an added bonus, there were many shooting stars throughout the night! 💫

(PS. We will have emails going out to our Sleeping Bear Members and past guests for first dibs on booking the upcoming snow season— before August’s end!)

So are we!
Full disclosure: we don’t know how our booking season is going to go down 😬🫣
We are considering one of two options:
1️⃣The same as this year: website blockings with AirBnB to fill in the blanks.
Or
2️⃣Entirely Airbnb.

Both options have their advantages for guests.😊
Both options have advantages for us.😊

Both options also have disadvantages…🫤

We will make a decision by early summer— folks who use Facebook regularly and those who are “Sleeping Bear Members” will be the first to know. 👍😃

We NEVER want this to happen to one of our guests. As of this year, we have been sending guests their parking confirmation . Always double check the plate number and dates. Since we copy your plate digitally, it should be good. One time, a guest made a type-o, though. On occasion, people type in “o” and not “0”. 😳 Always double check, ok? 🙏

Good morning! 🌞
A fresh layer of snow 🌨️ accumulated yesterday and last night making today a beautiful day! We still have some space in the calendar on both suites. Rates are less than our rack rates on our website. We continue to drop rates as dates come closer— keep looking 👀 if you like deals! 🤑 (Airbnb bookings only— the website’s booking system is closed for the season.)

We only have ONE WEEKEND LEFT for our 3-bedroom, Owners’ Suite for December, January and February. It is right after Winter Break so those with younger cubs in the house are likely taking a breather from family funtime. But then again, why not have a weekend away when the mountain is less busy? 🤔 #kidsdontstaykidsizeforever Please look at a our calendar before requesting dates. Each suite has its own calendar on its own webpage. 🤓 https://sleepingbearchalet.ca/owners-suite https://sleepingbearchalet.ca/the-bear-den

My best run on the Beginner Run!

Ladies Night Learn to Ride was today! Rain or shine, this was a great way to try mountain biking for the first time. Our instructor, Seigrid, was A M A Z I N G — so patient and the perfect amount of descriptive. My daughter and I will come back with our hard tail bikes to practice a bit more. Some of us gotta build that confidence gradually 😜! We will likely do another lesson and go up the lift on Attempt 2. The full suspension bikes do cost a heap of coin… but if we get hooked then an investment will be worth it for sure. 🤑 Check out our Instagram for more pix!

Our first zip!!!

Today was the big day— we zipped! 🎉 Not gonna lie… I was nervous!! 😬 Since Thing #2 was more nervous, I had to hold it together. 🤪Thankfully, the guides were EXCELLENT and kept everything positive and exciting. Since I wasn’t 100% that my daughter would go through with it, I made sure we were near the front of the line. I didn’t want her fears to have too much time to incubate! Once we did the first zipline, the other three were easy-peasy— no fear, only excitement! It was Thing #1’s birthday today, to boot. A most excellent way to bring in the new age!!! 🥳 If you are unsure about whether or not this activity is for you or someone in your group, I would highly suggest watching people do it first. You get a decent idea about what is coming down the pipe!
