LATEST TRAIL CONDITIONS

FRI, MAR 13

Forbush Corner: The predicted heavy snow is falling, forecast is 6 to 8 inches in the next 24 hours. We expect to groom, but expect soft conditions and new snow accumulating. This is great news for tomorrow. We will be able to open up the whole trail system with great conditions. The forecast for Sunday and Monday is for a major winter storm. We may have to close and wait this storm out. Stay tuned. We will see how it goes. The forecast keeps changing!

THU, MAR 12

Boyne Mountain: The big thaw left our trails in very marginal condition. We will be closed Friday, the 13th, and reopening on Saturday, the 14th, trusting that Mother Nature is about to replenish our snow. We hope to be open through Sunday the 22nd, but will update as conditions dictate.

Nubs Nob: No bare spots anywhere- skied the red loop - a hard pack very well groomed base with an inch of fresh on top. . Snow was granular , high moisture and a bit sticky for my wax , HF7 : but I bet others got it right . Bluebird day on a great trail !

Dunes Golf Club: Looks like Dawson tracks all over the place...
As always best snow with a base is all the way in the back (south) on the east west fairway which is last to go in the spring. Some actually will walk for their last runs. See what we get in the next snow event.

"It's the hard core skiers who last out the season."
Ernie Brumbaugh

Stokely Creek: Full trail system groom with snow and perfect temps in the forecast. Peak ski season continues just quick border crossing away. One plus side to USA being rogue is no wait at customs!

Hiawatha Highlands: We are so excited!!! It's a beautiful sunny morning up here, we got some more snow overnight and the temps cooled down....currently at -9 C.

The groomer was out this morning -- all systems were groomed with the Piston Bully for both classic and skate.

It's a perfect day to grab your gear and head on up for a ski.....the trails are dialed in and looking splendid!

Forbush Corner: Opening back up today now that cooler temperatures have returned. Icing has also returned. Fresh groom on the man-made snow loops only. Snow is in the forecast, so we should be able to get some additional trails open over the weekend. Open 9 to 5. Spring trail fee $10.

WED, MAR 11

Stokely Creek: Surprisingly skiable despite no groom today. There's a half inch of slow snow in the tracks, so if you stayed in the tracks it was fine. Out of the track was a rutted frozen slush ridge clustermunch. Stay in the track.

Base is THICK so this weekend coming up looks like excellent skiing!
