Michigan Ski Blog – Snow Reports

Much of the Rolling Hills trail is just beautiful!

We have received just over 3 inches of snow in the last day or so, and we are forecast to continue to receive more throughout tonight and tomorrow. Groomer Mike snowcombed the John Deere trail this morning, and conditions on it are excellent. Groomer Stu used the roller to pack the fresh snow on Mackinac Cut, Wild Turkey and Rolling Hills this afternoon, and we are hoping that we will be able to use the Ginzu snow comb tomorrow morning. The snow is somewhat light and fluffy, so we have not been able to set tracks yet today, but hopefully tomorrow!

Forecast:

Tonight: Snow showers early will become steadier snow overnight. Low 22F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 80%. 1 to 3 inches of snow expected.

Tomorrow: Variably cloudy with snow showers. High around 35F. Winds NNW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 60%. Snow accumulations less than one inch.

Join us this weekend for a bunch of fun events!

Michigan Cup Relays!
Join us for one of the most exciting and entertaining ski races in Michigan! This capstone race for the Michigan Cup Race Series features a relay race with 3 skiers per team: 2 legs freestyle, one leg classic; approximately 4km per leg for freestyle and classic. You do not have to be a Michigan Cup racer to participate! If you do not have a team but would still like to ski, we will try to find a team for you. Registration starts at 9:30am, and the race starts at 11:00am. The entry Fee is $20 per racer. All entrees score Team Points.

After the Relays, stick around for the awards ceremony on the sun deck, and feast on house-pulled BBQ pork sandwiches, black bean veggie burgers, vanishing scalloped potatoes, and of course our famous home-baked cookies. This post-race meal is included in the race registration fee. Each racer will also receive an official 2018 Michigan Cup Relays Pint Glass!
