Good morning! We received more snow throughout the day yesterday, which brings the total from Thursday night up to about 3 inches. Groomer Mike snowcombed all the trails last night, and there are skied in tracks on most trails as well. All trails are open. Join us for some nice spring skiing today, plus delicious lunch and a beverage on the sun deck at the Stone Turtle Cafe. Ethan the Cabin Boy will be at Trappers Cabin today from about 11 to 4. Hop in on the FREE Beginner Ski Lesson today at 10:30. Get fitted and demo some new skis, and shop the clothing sale too!

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.
