XC Ski Headquarters Cross Country Ski Report – 03/07

We received a heavy dusting of snow this morning. Tracks are deep and very firm, and skating lanes have been Ginzu snow combed by Groomer Butch this morning. All trails are in fabulous condition, and now that it’s March, the days are getting longer and gloriously sunny! Snow depth in the woods is 24 to 28 inches, and packed on the trail about 14 to 16 inches. This is spring skiing at its absolute best.

Weather forecast:
Today: Partly cloudy. A few flurries or snow showers possible. High 21F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight: Partly cloudy this evening with more clouds for overnight. Low -2F. Winds light and variable.
Tomorrow: Some clouds in the morning will give way to mainly sunny skies for the afternoon. High 32F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph

Today’s Stone Turtle Day Lodge Cafe Lunch Special is the Mediterranean Tuna Panini! Albacore tuna, sundries tomatoes, basil pesto, red onion, spinach, black olives and banana peppers, grilled on a Swiss roll. Served with chips and a pickle as always, and don’t forget to add a chocolate chip cookie since you’ll be skiing so much today!!

Join us Saturday for a Free Ski Lesson at 10:30am, and the Michigan Cup Relays on Sunday!

Michigan Cup Relays – Sunday, March 10th: Join us for one of the most exciting and entertaining ski races in Michigan! This grand finale race for the Michigan Cup Race Series features a relay race with 3 skiers per team: 2 legs freestyle, one leg classic; approximately 4-6km per leg. 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 enjoy a hearty post-race meal of house-made BBQ pork sandwiches, black bean veggie burgers, vanishing scalloped potatoes, cookies, and $2 pints. This post-race meal is included in the race registration fee. Each racer will also receive an official XC Ski HQ pint glass.

Ski on!
