Some things just go together: Peanut butter and jelly, Fred and Wilma, and boarding and après-ride beers.  Or skiing … And MyNorth & Traverse, Northern Michigan’s Magazine is joining in the fun! Come to Beer & Boards at Shanty Creek Resorts and visit our big yella tent. We’ll have a our MyNorth pints for sale, a great contest to enter and some giveaways.
