Michigan Ski Blog – Snow Reports

You needed sunscreen on the trails yesterday!

The sunny skies and warm temps yesterday made for a nice day of skiing early on, with the snow softening up later in the day. Groomer Bob will be out snow combing the skate lanes of the Muffin Race course (Tall Pines & Rolling Hills) very early this morning, and all the rest of the trails after that. All 8 trails have a 5 to 10 inch base, and there are 9 to 15 inches of snow in the woods.

The good news is that we are forecast to get snow tonight and tomorrow!

Forecast:

Today: Increasing clouds with showers arriving this afternoon. Some mixed winter precipitation possible. High 47F. Winds SW at 10 to 15 mph.

Tonight: Mainly cloudy with snow showers around this evening. Low 23F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 80%.

Monday: Snow and gusty winds during the morning will be followed by lingering snow showers during the afternoon. High 36F. Winds W at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of snow 70%. Snow accumulations less than one inch. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.

Today is the 24th annual Junior Muffin Race! Join us for the longest standing juniors race in Michigan. The “Senior” race is a Girls & Boys 8km Pursuit race. Skiers will classic ski the first half of the race then ski freestyle the second half of the race. Registration begins at 9am, and we will shoot for a 10:30am start. This is a Michigan Cup Junior Race. Medals will be awarded to the top 3 finishers in the girls and boys races.

After the 8km “Senior” Muffin Division Pursuit race, we will hold three “Junior” Muffin freestyle races: Ages 6 years and under, 7 to 9 and 10 to 12. All racers 12 and under will be awarded a medal!

There is a $10 entry fee for the Senior Racers (13 and older) and it includes a Pig Roast Lunch. There is no entry fee for the Junior Muffin Racers.

The Pig Roast is $5 for anyone else who might be hungry too. All racers and family members who partake in the Pig Roast will also receive a complimentary 1-day XC SKI HQ facilities pass.

Time to hit the trails!
