People always ask what SAMA means. It started as kind of a joke. It was a sleeting, snowy day in early December. My friend and I were surfing a swell in Grand Haven. I looked over at him knowing we were supposed to both be at pre-Christmas family functions soon, and said "We are like Self Absorbed Michigan Adventurers." That kind of stuck, and like many of our friends we have a common passion for outdoor sports in Michigan, and we go out in any weather to get our sessions. He replied "Ya, SAMA!"

So it was born, the SAMA logo was fashioned by another like minded surfer friend from Grand Haven. SAMA is for all of you year round Michiganders and vacationers who know, love, and respect all the outdoor activities there are to do in Michigan. No matter the weather you will find us us out enjoying all the benefits of our unique freshwater paradise.

Mulligan's Hollow Ski Queen

I think Stacy deserves a big shout out for helping make Mulligan's what it is today. I remember about 7 years ago when I taught a few lessons for her.  The lodge was an old log cabin with a wood stove.  The carpet was circa 1970's and most people had written the little ski hill off.  Today, that is quite the contrary.  Grand Haven making the news, this time for its winter sports, not just the beach.
