XC Ski Headquarters Cross Country Ski Report – 02/22


The Junior Muffin Race at XC Ski HQ is the longest standing Junior Michigan Cup race in Michigan, and costumes are encouraged!

It’s a beautiful winter weekend at Cross Country Ski Headquarters! Cold temps last night will make for excellent conditions this morning. The snow will soften up as it warms up today, but the snow base on the trails is plenty deep enough to withstand the temps. Groomer Mike snowcombed the skating lanes and set tracks last night, so the snow surface will be firm and fantastic this morning. There are 7 to 9 inches of snow packed on the trails, and 10 to 16 inches in the woods.

Join us Sunday, Feb 23 for the Junior Muffin Race!

The longest standing junior XC ski race in Michigan features a freestyle relay race with two skiers per relay team. Each skier will ski a total of 3 laps around a 2km course, handing off to their teammate between each lap, totaling 6 laps per team. Registration begins at 9:30am on Sunday, and we will shoot for a 10:30am start. Awards will also be given for top 3 teams in each division (Male, Female, and Co-Ed), plus best costumes! Ages 19 and under are welcome.

After the Muffin Team Sprint Relay Race, we will hold three Mini Muffin freestyle races: Ages 6 years old and under, 7 to 9, and 10 to 12. All racers 12 and under will be awarded a medal. There is no entry fee for the Mini Muffin racers. All racers receive a post-race lunch, which is available to family and friends for $5.

Shop the Sale! There is still a lot of winter left, so lots of time to enjoy a new cross country ski package, or sport a new XC ski jacket. Our complete inventory of skis and clothing is marked down from 10-40%. Work with an fitting pro, staffed every day, to find the perfect gear for you!

See you on the snow!
