XC Ski Headquarters Cross Country Ski Report – 01/09


Trails will be closed today and tomorrow, open Sunday.

After further inspection of the trails this afternoon, we are making the call to close the trails for tomorrow, Saturday. It is unfortunate, but there is just too much ice out there for conditions to be safe. We are still expecting snow tomorrow afternoon, but we will have to wait to ski on until it can bond with the hard surface underneath. We will attempt to resume grooming Sunday afternoon after the low/wet spots have hardened up and the new snow has had a chance to settle.

We will groom the practice field on Saturday and still host the free beginner lesson at 10:30. The practice field will still be open for demos as well.

Weather Forecast

Today: Cloudy/foggy. High 47F. Gusting winds 15-25.

Tonight: Cloudy, low 26F. Winds 0-5mph.

Tomorrow: Snow starting at 11am, 4" expected. High 30F. Winds 5-10.

Join us for these Upcoming Events!

Saturday, Jan 10th – Sunday, Jan 11th – Bob’s Bean Bomb at the Stone Turtle Cafe

Back in the early 2000’s, founder Bob Frye created a culinary concoction that eventually became a legend in the XC ski industry: Bob’s Bean Bomb. He went so far as to sell it to ski shops and specialty markets throughout the country. He has since retired the project, but on occasion, he makes a big batch of it for friends and family… and it never lasts longer than a few minutes. This cheesy, spicy, addictive bean dip is served hot, with sturdy chips. Cold drinks recommended. Available until it sells out!

Saturday, Jan 10th: “Pure Michigan” Winter Trails Day with the Great Lakes Winter Trails Council

Entering its 29th year, Winter Trails Day invites adults and children for a free Facilities Pass and cross country ski lesson, plus a complimentary hot cocoa and hot dog cookout on the ski trails. Bring your friends and family for a fantastic day on the snow, and discover how fun winter in Northern Michigan can be!
