We received just under an inch of snow last night, which, along with the fresh snow and manmade snow spread on the trails by Tractor Mike yesterday, will improve the ski surface and make for more ideal conditions. Groomer Mike will snow comb the 2km John Deere loop this morning. He will also be spreading snow along the main vein of the John Deer trail, so skiers are asked to watch out for the tractor and clumps of snow that get spread along that part of the trail. More snow is also on the way today, tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday! The rest of the trails are icy with bare spots, and should be used for snow-shoeing only. For those who want to venture off the John Deere Trail, we are offering FREE SNOW SHOE RENTALS on the trails today!

Forecast:

Today: Snow showers early with a chance of lingering snow showers later. High near 35F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 50%.

Tonight: Partly cloudy skies this evening will give way to occasional snow showers overnight. Low 21F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 40%.

Tomorrow: Intermittent snow showers, especially early. Morning high of 25F with temps falling to near 10. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 40%.

Today’s Stone Turtle Cafe lunch special is the Gourmet Grilled Cheese! Swiss, Provolone, and sliced tomato grilled to perfection on Stone House Bread, served with Great Lakes Chips and a pickle.

Mark you calendars for this Saturday: Ski the Beer Trail with Paddle Hard Brewing and Michigan Search & Rescue! Join us for a day of delicious craft beer on the ski trails!
