FROM Hanson Hills >> Who’s Ready to Glide, Ride, and Explore?
Lodge and trails open at 9am, and we’ve got another beautiful winter day lined up for you!
⛷️ Cross Country Update:
Just a light dusting of snow overnight, but Groomer Dan is already out there working his magic—combing skate lanes on ALL trails including Blue, Brown, Yellow, Red, M-93, and Easy Return.
Tracks may be a few days old… but trust us, they’re still glorious. Wilderness is holding tracks too, so plenty of smooth, scenic miles await.
Don’t forget to stop into the Lodge for your daily or season trail pass before heading out!
🚴 Fat Bike Trail:
The Fat Bike loop is open and ready for adventure!
If you roll today, please remember to feed the Blue Donation Tube at the MTB trailhead — it keeps the good times spinning.
🚶 Trail Etiquette Reminder:
We love hikers, but please remember:
• Regular boot traffic should remain off the Mountain Bike Trail and Overlook Trail to protect groomed surfaces.
• Snowshoers are welcome, just please give bikers the right of way.
• Little Smokey, Pines, Guyton, and Oak Ridge Trails are open for hiking/snowshoeing !
Bundle up, breathe in that fresh northern Michigan air, and let the trails show you a great time today! ❄️ #hansonhills #SkiMichiganWho’s Ready to Glide, Ride, and Explore?
