Valley Spur Trail System Cross Country Ski Report – 01/18

Hard to believe but today was the first time this year we groomed all trails with our big Ginzu groomer. Wow! We have gotten about 4 to 5 inches of measurable snow in the last 3 days and that has allowed us to get the system in near mid Winter condition. No noticeable thin spots but there are just a few spots on some trails that have some vegetation poking through. The skiing is very nice right now.

Fantastic day to ski on Martin Luther King Day. Thanks Mother Nature for providing all the new snow.

FROM Friends of Valley Spur >> 12/19 and winter is returning, lower temps, a little snow and more hopefully on it's way. Very high winds today. The roads are very icy. The lodge won't be open today. You ask do I have any good news? John is out grooming and removing trees from the high winds. John is still unable to groom H and the 1st part of G. Very wet, need to freeze and more snow. #valleyspur #SkiMichigan ... See MoreSee Less

FROM Friends of Valley Spur >> 12/16 and John is out touching up some of the trails. H don't do, it's very rough, more snow needed. Temps are on the warm up so grooming will get tricky. So if I was you, I being heading to ski right now. #valleyspur #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichigan ... See MoreSee Less

FROM Friends of Valley Spur >> 12/15, Wow Snowmageddon at VS for last two days. Thank you Miss Superior for The Lake Affect. John will be grooming the system today. John reports 18 inches of snow in the woods and 6 to 8 inches packed on the trails. Lodge open 7 days a week from 10 am to 4 pm. Volunteers staff the desk Thursday-Sundays. UPDATE: John went through H Trail for the 1st time today. It is very rough. I would avoid that trail until we get more snow. #valleyspur #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichigan ... See MoreSee Less
