The 2km Michigan Cup Loop is still in very good shape and in fine “spring skiing” condition. It is perfect for getting a late season ski fix, and for demoing skis and boots, of which we have many! Because of the thin spots and bare spots on all our trails, we will not be grooming until we receive more snow accumulation, but all trails are open for skiing with some portages over bare spots necessary. The trails will be fast this morning after the cold temps last night, but will soften up around mid-day.

Forecast:

Today: Abundant sunshine. High near 35F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.

Tonight: Mostly clear. Low 16F. Winds light and variable.

Tomorrow: A mix of clouds and sun early, then becoming cloudy later in the day. High 43F. Winds S at 10 to 15 mph.

The Stone Turtle Day Lodge Lunch Special is the Mediterranean Tuna Melt! Albacore Tuna, feta cheese, house made hummus, kalamata olives, banana peppers, and tomatoes on Stone House 7-Grain Bread. Served with Great Lakes kettle chips and a pickle!

Join us for a Euchre Tournament and Pizza Party to celebrate our Season Trail Sponsors!

Bob and Lynne always said that when there was no snow early in the ski season, they would play Euchre by the fireplace and wait for snow to fall. Well, we were lucky enough to have snow early in the season, but with mostly brown out there and very little white left at this point, we’re taking a cue from those very wise founders…

Date: Saturday, March 25th
Time: 12:00pm to however long it takes.

Show your 2016-17 Trail Sponsor Badge at XC Ski HQ this Saturday, and enjoy free entry into our very high stakes Euchre tournament, PLUS an order of complimentary gourmet Bosco Sticks: mozzarella-cheese-filled breadsticks, served hot and doctored up with garlic and delicious seasonings, and served with classy dipping sauces like Marinara and Ranch. Also, bring your skis in and enjoy $5 storage wax application per pair (the surefire way to guarantee an April blizzard), $5 gourmet flatbread pizzas, and 2 for $1 famous chocolate chip cookies. Both Euchre Tournament Champions get a free Silver Hot Wax on any one pair of skis, to be used anytime this season or next ($46 value!). BYO Beverages, and either BYO Euchre Partner or show up solo and we will find you one. Non-Trail-Sponsors who still like to have fun can enter the Euchre tournament and enjoy an order of Bosco Sticks for $10.

See you this weekend for some indoor fun with your fellow outdoor enthusiasts!

-Mariah, Stu, Bob, Lynne, Fran, Erin, Ryan, Matt, Michelle, George, Lexi, Dana, Gage, Grant, Heidi, Jim, James, Jose, and the Crew
