FROM Friends of Valley Spur >> Saturday the 21st and John Cromell is having a very challenging groom but plans to groom all trails. Very heavy snow that doesn't want to pack. I recommend bringing your fleet of skis and see which ones work the best. We really need your help flicking sticks on the trails. The trees have lots of ice and snow on them. Please don't ski by sticks. Please Mother Nature take your chill pill and not this up and down weather. MAGNUS please come home. The lodge will be open. #valleyspur #SkiMichigan
FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> Looks like another great day at the Corner. #forbush #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganLooks like another great day at the Corner.
FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> Open 9-5. it is still snowing lightly; and the grooming process has commenced. It would be best if skiers let the deck and tracks sit until at least 10A to firm up. (setting up time is good for the groomed trails) Please use mdot to assess when and where driving is worrisome, and be careful in our parking lot. The snow is super wet and slippery on top of ice in some areas. Please use the Nordic Pulse app or website to see what has been groomed so far. #forbush #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganOpen 9-5. it is still snowing lightly; and the grooming process has commenced.

FROM Hanson Hills >> ❄️ Saturday, February 21, 2026 ❄️
We’ve got a full day lined up at Hanson Hills — and it’s a good one.
🎿 Downhill & Tubing Operations
🕚 11AM – 8PM
Lights on, lifts spinning, tubing lanes flying. Come get your turns in.
🌲 Nordic Trail Update
We’re working with wet, packy snow this morning. Trails currently being combed:
• Red
• Yellow
• Brown
• Blue
• M-93
Conditions will be a bit soft but skiable. Dress accordingly and enjoy it — this is late-season character snow.
🔥 Party at the Shack – 1PM–3PM
Today we’re hosting our Party at the Shack!
Hikers, Snowshoers, Fat Bikers, and XC Skiers will all be sharing the main trail system from:
Trailhead → Easy Return → The Shack
This is mixed traffic today. Please:
• Share the trail.
• Be courteous.
• Do NOT walk or bike on the double-set ski tracks.
Let’s make it a fun, safe event for everyone.
🎓 Snowsports School
Operating as normal today. Lessons running and instructors ready to roll!
🌯 Snack Bar Feature – The Booter Wrap
If you haven’t tried it yet, today’s your day.
The Booter Wrap — warm, loaded, and built for hungry skiers and riders who just burned a thousand calories on the hill. It’s the perfect mid-day reset before heading back out.
Full day. Mixed adventure. Community vibes.
See you on the hill. #hansonhills #SkiMichigan❄️ Saturday, February 21, 2026 ❄️

FROM Friends of Valley Spur >> Friday the 20th of February and I can't believe we have steady rain coming down at this time. Later it will turn to a Winter Mix. So no grooming today. Come on Mother Nature give us what we want so we can ski. Stay tuned. #valleyspur #SkiMichigan
FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> No grooming today but if a brave soul wants to ski in the rain and mixed precipitation (snow/ rain mix is predicted for later, like noonish), we will be here.
