WARM AND SNUG within his shanty this fisherman, many-tined spear in hand, watches through the hole in the ice for a glimpse of his quarry. Here on Lake Charlevoix, near Boyne City, fishing shanties, complete with everything from stoves to frying pans, can be rented to ice-fishing enthusiasts. Popular all over the state, ice-fishing has become one of Michigan's major winter sports.

SHANTY VILLAGE OUTPOST: These fishing shacks at the Boyne City end of Lake Charlevoix are the outposts for Smeltania, a community of hundreds of shanties about a mile out on the ice. Ice-fishing enthusiasts from all over Michigan and from other states come here to angle for the silver-sided smelt whose numbers make large catches possible. Visible in the picture is one end of the Christmas trees that form a line between the shore and Smeltania to guide fisherman when nights are dark or stormy.

SNOW SKOOTERS IN ACTION: Petoskey places emphasis on snow-skooters, sometimes called saddle skis, which are a recent addition to winter sports. Skillful riders can take the little skooters down winding courses and over jumps. The two pictured above are racing down one of the hills surrounding Petoskey's snow bowl, the in-city winter sports center.
