Forbush Corner Cross Country Ski Report – 12/24
We are just going to have the 2km snow making loop open today. We need a couple inches of new snow to groom up the other trails. Some lake effect snow possible tomorrow and tomorrow night. Parking lot is very icy. We are trying to grind it up, but please be careful.

Larry is going to start grooming the man made loop first. Then he will see how the grooming goes on the other east side trails. We are hoping that the 3 inches of snow from Monday that wasn’t groomed on Tuesday protected the base by absorbing the brunt of the rain and melting from Wednesday. We are open today 9am to 5 pm.

FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> The rain is moving out soon and the temps will be dropping well below freezing tonight, allowing us to head out on the trails tomorrow. We still have 100% coverage, but expect that the grooming will be a bit slower than usual. East side trails and Pines Loop will get the fresh groom. Trails and shop open at 9. Gates close at 5. (We plan to be open tomorrow through Monday). #forbush #SkiMichigan
FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> Here is our plan going forward into the week. The shop will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday. The side gate on Roberts Rd will be left open, and the trails will be available to ski. If not a season pass holder, please leave a $10 trail fee in the slot provided near the east shop entrance.
On Friday, we will resume full operation through Monday. We expect that this will be it for the season. #forbush #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichigan
FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> Temps went below zero last night and some light lake effect snow is falling. We will be grooming, check Nordic pulse on our website later this morning for the fresh groom. We still have 100% coverage on our trail system. Open at 9. Gates close at 5. #forbush #SkiMichigan
FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> The weird concrete snow that we received from the last storm turned into sugar mush yesterday once it was groomed. It rained this morning and is close to freezing. It's to warm to groom with the Pisten Bully at this time. We are going to try to use the Tiddtech to smooth out the skate lanes on the loop. If the base is too soft for the snowmobile we will not continue grooming. Classic tracks are icy at this. Colder temps tonight will allow us to groom on Monday. Base is in great shape with 100% coverage. #forbush #SkiMichigan
FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> Full system groom for skate and classic planned in spite of the Spring-like weather. We have plenty of snow. 100% coverage. Open 9 to 5.

Pines loop Friday morning.
FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> We plan on being open today but the overnight rain and temps above freezing do not bode well for any new grooming. Temperatures go below freezing tonight so we plan on a full system groom for Saturday. #forbush #SkiMichigan
