FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> Here is our plan going forward into the week. The shop will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday. The side gate on Roberts Rd will be left open, and the trails will be available to ski. If not a season pass holder, please leave a $10 trail fee in the slot provided near the east shop entrance.
On Friday, we will resume full operation through Monday. We expect that this will be it for the season. #forbush #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichigan
FROM Friends of Valley Spur >> Today the 23rd of March Doris Geyer and I (Peggy) made tracks on A and B Trails at Friends of Valley Spur Some other skier most have started up top and came down Heaven. They also went towards Z trail to either do Z or Heart Atack. The 4 plus inches of snow on top of yesterday's crust helped to do this. It was a good ski with my metal edge skis from Southbay Outfitters. These are great skis and Ted has them on sale. REMINDER: grooming has concluded for the season at VS. #valleyspur #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichigan
FROM Vasa Trail Ski Conditions >> From the Groomers -
Good morning Badgers,
The crew decided not to groom this morning due to soft conditions beneath the crust and the number of ruts that could not be effectively smoothed.
Cheers,
The Winter Trail Grooming Crew

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.FROM Boyne Mountain Resort >> Costumes were loud.
The music was louder.
And the Slush Cup… well, you saw what happened. 💦
Thanks for making Carnival Weekend another one we won’t forget… even if some of you wish you could. #boynemountain #SkiMichigan

FROM NTN Trails >> While the world sleeps, the magic happens. 🌑✨ Chief Nordic Groomer Andy McCormick owns the midnight hours — grooming every kilometer so you can chase the sunrise. This is dedication. This is Nordic. #ntntrails #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichigan
FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> Temps went below zero last night and some light lake effect snow is falling. We will be grooming, check Nordic pulse on our website later this morning for the fresh groom. We still have 100% coverage on our trail system. Open at 9. Gates close at 5. #forbush #SkiMichigan
FROM Vasa Trail Ski Conditions >> From the Groomers-
Good morning Badgers,
Brandon and Dave got an early start around 5:00 AM this morning with light snow falling and temperatures around 30°F.
They completed renovation work on the skate lane, covering the 5K, 10K, and 25K loops, as well as from Riley’s to the single track parking lot and in the 3K out to the post. Grooming wrapped up just recently.
There are still quite a few ruts and footprints throughout the trail system, especially near the trailheads. While some sections remain soft, overall the trail came together well and should provide a good experience.
Cheers,
The Winter Trail Grooming Crew

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> The weird concrete snow that we received from the last storm turned into sugar mush yesterday once it was groomed. It rained this morning and is close to freezing. It's to warm to groom with the Pisten Bully at this time. We are going to try to use the Tiddtech to smooth out the skate lanes on the loop. If the base is too soft for the snowmobile we will not continue grooming. Classic tracks are icy at this. Colder temps tonight will allow us to groom on Monday. Base is in great shape with 100% coverage. #forbush #SkiMichigan
FROM Shanty Creek Resorts >> Our first Denim Days was Jean-uinely a great time! #shantycreek #SkiMichigan
FROM Boyne Mountain Resort >> Two days down. 🎉
The costumes came out, the saunas fired up, and Stein Eriksen’s patio brought the heat all afternoon.
There’s only one thing left on the schedule, and it's the one you've been waiting for. 🤝
Tomorrow. North McLouth. #boynemountain #SkiMichigan
FROM Crystal Mountain >> Thanks to all who were brave enough for our gravity-defying kayak race on the snow! Leprechauns were spotted and many laughs were had. 🍀 #crystalmountain #SkiMichigan
