The skiing yesterday was slow but beautiful with the fresh snow. Today should be just great!

We received about 2-3 inches of dense snow yesterday, which should groom up very well this morning. There is full coverage on almost all of the trail system, and all trails are open. The Stone Turtle Cafe is open today! Try an XC Chicken Sandwich, with rotisserie chicken, provolone, onions, spinach, dijon, and aioli sauce on a soft roll. Grab a hot cocoa and a chocolate chip cookie for dessert! Join us for Happy Hour from 2pm to 5pm.

Upcoming Events:

Saturday, March 11th, 10:30am: FREE Beginner Ski Lesson
learn how to cross country ski at our FREE beginner ski lesson, every Saturday at 10:30am throughout the ski season (snow permitting)! You will learn the basics of traditional (classic style) XC ski technique, plus hill climbing, descending, and turning. You will even learn how to get up when you fall down! Free lessons are limited to 25 people. Ski rentals are available at the rental desk on a first-come, first-served basis (we do not take rental reservations). The free lesson lasts 1 hour.

Sunday, March 12th: Michigan Cup Relays
Join us for one of the most exciting 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, and 1 classic leg. Each skier skis 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 race entrees score Team Points. After the Relays, stick around for the Michigan Cup awards ceremony, and enjoy a hearty post-race meal, and live music included with your registration fee. Each racer receives a commemorative pint glass! Click here to register!
All the best,
