How about a winter gathering at Echo Valley?
This may end up a west siders thing unless some of you other want to travel...but how about a gathering at Echo Valley? Kids and family welcome! If you don't know Echo Valley, check it out:

Perhaps mid January?
Where else in Michigan can you runa 1/4 mile in the winter? Even if it is only 60mph...remember you are ona teflong runnered toboggan!
There's tubing and ice skating, as well as snack bar to warm up, etc. They also have rope pulls to help you back up the hill.
Good cheap fun!

yeah, they are pretty steep. Just sit behind someone and bury your face if need be 
If you like Cedar Point or any other roller coaster, you can handle these They look bad til you actually go down them
I haven't been there in years either. Last time I was there it was wooden toboggans, etc
Maybe we can bribe Dave into making this a "sticky" for a bit and get some interest together...

ok, so how about January 18th? That's a saturday. Should give everyone a few weeks notice that way to work it in.
If this won't work, let me know. I just picked an arbitrary date "mid january"

I'm definitely up for that! For anyone who doesn't know what Echo Valley is all about (or if you want a picture), imagine this: you're sitting on the front of a toboggan looking down about 10º from vertical and there's this insane guy about to remove the little wooden stick which is the only thing keeping you from falling to your certain death. OK, so maybe it's only 45º, but you get the picture now.
