Hanson Hills Cross Country Ski Report – 11/30
Classic Day on the Nordic Trails!
We picked up another 4–5 inches of snow overnight, because apparently winter heard we were grooming and said, “Add more.” ❄️
Short grooming day, but here’s what got the fresh treatment:
• Yellow Loop – Skate & Classic
• Green Loop – Classic
• Easy Return – Skate & Classic
Skate deck is soft, so expect that “extra cozy cushion” feel under your skis. 😄
As for Tubing & Downhill—we’re not ghosting you. Tentative opening is December 20th, but if conditions let us open earlier, you’ll be the first to know!
Get out and enjoy that new snow! 🌨️⛷️🌲

FROM Hanson Hills >> WEDNESDAY UPDATE — MARCH 4, 2026
🎿 Nordic Trail Update:
🏡 Lodge and trails open at 9:00 AM
(Lodge closes at 3:00 PM)
No new grooming today. The PB100 really worked the snow yesterday grinding in new tracks, so we’re going to let the trail rest today.
Groomer Dan will be back out tomorrow morning to assess trail conditions and groom as conditions allow.
☀️ In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine and get out for a glide! #hansonhills #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganWEDNESDAY UPDATE — MARCH 4, 2026

My turn in the PB100 this morning. Fresh classic tracks and corduroy are being reset on Yellow, Brown, Blue, and Easy Return to keep things skiing smooth.
If you’ve been waiting for a midweek glide, today’s a good one. See you on the trails. - Justin ❄️ #hansonhills #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganTUESDAY UPDATE — MARCH 3, 2026

FROM Hanson Hills >> Monday March 2, 2026
We will continue Nordic operations and grooming efforts through March 7th (Lodge and trails open 9:00am– Lodge closes 3:00pm daily).
Current Trail Conditions
• Overall conditions are fast
• Track set is icy
• Expect firm, spring-like surfaces, especially in the mornings
Groomer Dan will be out this morning with the Tidd Tech combing skate lanes on:
• Yellow
• Brown
• Blue
• Easy Return
This will help refresh the skate deck and improve edge control in the firm conditions.
The PB100 did not want to start this morning. We will need it operational in order to fully tear out and reset the classic track. Maintenance is working on getting it up and running, and once operational, we plan to:
• Tear out the existing icy track
• Reset fresh track where conditions allow
We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work through spring conditions and equipment challenges. Late-season skiing can be some of the fastest and most fun of the year — just come prepared for firm surfaces.
Thank you for supporting Nordic operations through the final week of grooming. #hansonhills #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganMonday March 2, 2026
