Lots of new and great things at Huron Meadows this year. 7.5 miles of skating and 12ish miles of classic, new trails, new maps and trail signs on the way, new grooming equipment to help speed up the grooming after the snows.
Keefer and I got in a great xc ski after work last week after the first big snow! The snow was perfect and the skis weren't sticking.
My research has concluded that ABR in Ironwood, Michigan is the place to go if you are part of the crowd that can and will drop everything and do anything to get good skiing now! It sounds like 40K of skiing will be open for the weekend.
Prepare for winter weather, with extra blankets and other cold weather gear. Lake effect snow showers are expected during much of the work week.

Show you support for cycling in Royal Oak I am encouraging you to come out to show your support for the Royal Oak "Non-Motorized Transportation Plan" that would create a safer pedestrian and bikeway program for the city.
Our trail system has been completely re-designed for the 2008-09 season. We now have trail options that total 88 km. All of the new loops have been named after Winter Olympic sites starting in 1994 in Lillehammer up to and including Sochi, Russia in 2014.
We are currently looking for interested folks to consider volunteering on one of our committees. If you enjoy maintenance, dreaming of new trail facilities, planning events, marketing, or fundraising- we have a committee for you!
We have groomed about 10- 15 km with some decent early season skiing and some poor early season conditions.
Royal Gorge, Ice Lakes Lodge, and Rainbow Lodge will all be cutting back to five days a week rather than seven this winter. "Sometimes it costs us more to open the doors than if we don't"
Saturday, November 10th is the last opportunity you will have to receive a discount on your membership to the NTN!,
The chill in the air at the beginning of fall reminds us that our winter ski season will soon be on us. The Board, Officers and Committees of the Washtenaw Ski Touring Club have been busy developing a WSTC ski calendar and meeting schedule.
