XC Ski Headquarters Cross Country Ski Report – 01/16


Last night proved to be a great kick-off to this year’s Junior 4H Skiing Program!

We received about a half inch of snow last night. Groomer Mike is snow combing the skating lanes on all trails this morning. Conditions remain in good shape! For the best conditions, head to the Rolling Hills, Wild Turkey, Mackinaw Cut, Trapper’s Cabin, and Manitou trails. There are still some oak leaves down, and some of spots under the big trees are becoming hard-packed and getting their share of pine needles, but conditions are still good for classic and very good for skating. Snow Spreading efforts on the Trappers Cabin trail are going well, too! We will have good to great conditions on the majority of the trails for the weekend. *Please note that we will be continuing to spread snow on the Trapper’s Cabin trail today, so watch out for tractors and large chunks of snow!

Weather Forecast:
Today: Some lingering morning flurries or snow showers. Cloudy skies this morning will become partly cloudy this afternoon. High 18F. Winds NNW at 10 to 15 mph.
Tonight: Partly cloudy skies. Low 3F. Winds light and variable.
Tomorrow: A mix of clouds and sun early, then becoming cloudy later in the day. High 26F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph.

The Stone Turtle Day Lodge Cafe Lunch Special today is the Pesto Grilled Cheese Panini! Swiss, provolone, basil pesto, sliced tomato, and red onion – all grilled to perfection on herbed focaccia bread. Served with Great Lakes Kettle Chips and a dill pickle spear!

With tracks all over northern Michigan becoming harder and firmer, one type of no-wax ski stands out for its tremendous ability to grip icy track: Skin Skis! We have lots to choose from, including the Fischer Twin Skin Carbon
skis, which provide excellent kick and glide in all conditions! All skin skis are on sale now, call 800-832-2663 for our shop online
. Stop by and demo a pair for free!

All the best,

-Mariah, Stu, Bob, Lynne, Erin, Matt, Missy, Gillian, Molly, Annie H., Annie B., Grant, Josh, Michelle, Krista, Crystal, Mike and the crew
