"Michigan Ski-for-Light is the one place that I can come, put down the barriers that I hold up towards society, and be myself." -Trevor, MSFL participant

The Annual Michigan Ski for Light Event, is a Regional Chapter of our parent organization, Ski for Light.

Ski for Light, Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded in 1975 by Olav Pederson to promote the physical fitness of visually and mobility impaired adults. 

In Michigan at about the same time, Harold Brunvand began a "Fun in the Snow" weekend with the help of his friends including the Sons of Norway. They had volunteers teach cross country skiing to students from the Michigan School for the Blind. One of the volunteers was the Governor's wife Helen Milliken.

In 1981 the event was moved to the Higgins Lake area and renamed Michigan Ski for Light as a regional event. It has remained there ever since.

Michigan Ski for Light is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, IRS #38-3562887.
