LATEST TRAIL CONDITIONS
SUN, MAR 15
Forbush Corner: Looks like we will be open today, but closed tomorrow, Monday. After the storm really figures out where it is going, we will make a call and reopen sometime this week. Windy and snowing currently at the corner. 240 loop, Ridge, Pancake, Badlands and Green Loop get the fresh groom this morning. All trails open. 100% coverage. Open 9 to 5.
Forbush Corner: Based on the heavy snow/ice storm warning we are closing for everyone's safety.
Cross Country Ski Headquarters: We've received another 2-3" so far. The trails are open, but we will not be grooming again until potentially tomorrow. There is full coverage on all the trails, and they were packed and groomed yesterday, so it should be a solid foundation under the 3' of fresh snow we've seen so far. Blizzardy conditions with no signs of letting up any time soon. We call this 'adventure skiing'!
Vasa Trail: Went to TImber Ridge to ski the Vasa trail and was informed that the season pass runs out March 1st and now you have to pay. I never thought they had this policy in the past and it is a bad one. If you have a season pass to ski from TR it should be for the whole ski season. If you agree and out at TR you should voice your opinion to management.

SAT, MAR 14
Vasa Trail: Thanks to the groomers for setting classic tracks & corduroy with the Tidd Techs in the fresh 2-4” snow on the Spring Grooming Pattern for a wonderful ski in the mid 30s sunshine this afternoon. There were several friends enjoying the trail. I skied from the Vasa Singletrack on Riley’s to 4 Corners, then to The Rock & back. The groomers started at the Bartlett trailhead, groomed Headwaters & Special K, in addition to what I skied. The VST has a new porta potty & 2 outdoors changing rooms, so convenient access from Supply Rd, esp if you don’t have a high clearance vehicle to drive to The Rock. Although we sprung forward, I’m glad to ski some more as long as conditions aren’t icy!
Nubs Nob: Mother Nature and Nubs Groomers teamed up today for the perfect Red and Blue loop experience . Blue bird sky , perfect corduroy, and SO MUCH SNOW!
Forbush Corner: Perfect conditions at Forbush this morning. I actually waxed my good skis and they were so fast. Westside trails, pines loop all perfect. Thank you for this sunny bonus day!!
Cross Country Ski Headquarters: Beautiful spring day. Full coverage and groom. Temp in the 20s. Suntan day. 1 lap down. Gotta go the trails calling. Get out here if you can. Swix violet.
Boyne Mountain: Lower trails are rolled and Family Trail is trackset. It's a gorgeous day in the neighborhood!
Cross Country Ski Headquarters: Oh what a beautiful morning! Groomer Mike is out rolling all the trails with plans to snow-comb afterwards. The snow we received over the past 236 hours has resulted in full coverage on all trails. The cafe is open and the sun is shining, so come on out and Ski With Us!
Forbush Corner: Today is Founders Day at the Corner and Dave has made sure that we would have plenty of snow to groom and ski to celebrate. The raffle drawing for the Reid Goble fundraiser is also on tap at 10AM. We plan to groom the majority of our trails, tilling in the 4 to 6 inches received over the last few days, putting us back to 100% coverage. Trail passes for non-season pass holders are reduced to $10. A major winter storm is forecast starting late Saturday night and going into Monday for the northern lower and UP. Guess you could say today is the calm before the storm. Check out the weather forecast and stay informed. Open at 9. Gates close at 5.
FRI, MAR 13
Dunes Golf Club: Snow conditions repaired the natural way.
7" plus on the ground with more on the way Sunday and Monday.
A classic skiers dream.
Natural conditions exist with moist heavy snow.
Plowed parking at entrance.
All this on Friday the 13th
Reindeer Run Nordic Center: Ungroomed conditions exist.
Reindeer Run Nordic Center: Empire airport snowmobile trailhead
7+ and counting, hard pack base, local st riders have been using the county line (oviat rd) to get access to snowmobile trail and backcountry areas, this is a county plowed parking area. A popular parking area and usually used daily by skiers. The Osborn rd parking lot may not be plowed but parking on road shoulder is okay.
More snow expected Sunday and Monday.
Heavy moist snow on in groomed conditions exist.
Main snowmobile trail I would expect some moderate snow machine activity.
Sort of the endless winter syndrome...
Hiawatha Highlands: Good Morning Everyone!! It's not as cool as yesterday morning, and it has started to snow.....temp -6 C.
There was no grooming overnight -- we actually had no snowfall overnight, until just recently. It is quite windy out, so the open areas could have windswept snow over the trails.
The Mabel Lake Trail was groomed yesterday as of 11:30 a.m.
We hope everybody has a fantastic day!!
Cross Country Ski Headquarters: We gotten about 5" of fresh snow this morning, with no sign of it stopping! Trails are open today and all skiable, but not groomed yet. We plan to have the trails groomed by tomorrow morning, with some pretty darn good 'spring skiing' available. This weekend could be a truly amazing 'last hurrah"!
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 !
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!
