XC Ski Headquarters Cross Country Ski Report – 12/10
We had a great turnout at the Jordyn Ross skate and classic ski clinics yesterday, which took place in great snow conditions on the XC Ski HQ practice area and practice hill. Groomer Bob snow combed all the trails except the Adventure and Tall Pines trails, with marginal to good results. Quite a few skiers used rock skis on these trails yesterday, with better than expected conditions! The best trails are the Mackinaw Cut, Wild Turkey, and Rolling Hills trails, which are 30% good, 60% fair, and 10% marginal. At this time until we get more snow, classic skiing only is permitted on the trails. Rock skis are available for rent at a nominal cost.
We only need 3-4 more inches of snow until we feel confident in having good to great skiing on most of the trails. It has been snowing all morning here in Higgins Lake, and we are expecting to receive more snow throughout the week. We will also be continuing our snow making efforts throughout the week as well, as temps look to stay quite cold. Stay tuned as the weather plays out and the snow falls!
The Stone Turtle Day Lodge Cafe is up and running! Today’s lunch specials are the Gourmet Hammy Sammy, with honey glazed thick sliced spiral ham, swiss cheese, tomato and spicy brown mustard, served on a warm ciabatta bun. We also have creamy ham and potato soup, served with a warm roll and real butter! Top it off with a delicious chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin cookie – fresh baked!
We are open for cross country ski and boot demos! Try the demo center favorite Rossignol Delta skate skis, or some longtime favorite Fischer Superlite Crowns. Need some new classic boots! The new (for us) Salomon Equipe 9 classics have already developed a strong following for their comfort and performance. Free demos all day, everyday! And don’t miss some great Christmas shopping – lots of awesome sweaters, hats, socks, and more on sale!
Let it snow!
