The Winter Olympics are over, but God knows Michigan's weather will remain perfect for winter sports for a good while longer. Inspired by the games, maybe you want to go out and actually try some new badass winter sport — and not just any Winter Olympic sport, but the coolest Winter Olympic sport.
First, you have to decide what sport is the coolest. That’s easy enough because the coolest Winter Olympic sport is sledding — bobsledding, skeleton and luge.
Lucky for us, the Muskegon Winter Sports Complex has the United States’ only public luge run. And it's just a three-hour drive away.
In this Ask Detroit Anything, Jack Page from the Muskegon Luge Club tells us about the mechanics of luge and then he takes us for a ride.
Trust us, luging is one of those absolute must-try-if-you’re-a-Michigander things. It’s a total blast.
