Double tracked for classic and plowed for walkers. A-Ski day, no limbs, twigs or bare spots.

Tue, Jan 27: Independance Oaks (Clarkston)
They rolled everything yesterday but it was a little slow with some fresh powder on top--probably about 3/4" by the time we left. What a season!

Tue, Jan 27: Crystal Mountain (Thompsonville)
Groomed and laid tracks on everything but the hills and the trail to kinlochen. It was tough going. I measured 7.5 at my house 5 miles away. The hills only been packed with the snowmobile. I ran out of time and was afraid of getting stuck. Tim should be able to get them groomed tomorrow.

Tue, Jan 27: Huron Meadows Metropark (Brighton)
The only trail open today is Buck's Run (and the connector). Great skate deck, deep classic tracks. It was probably too windy to groom (or ski) the golf course, but I wish they'd groom Cedar Trace and the Contractors Loop.

Tue, Jan 27: Huron Meadows Metropark (Brighton)
Talked with Paul at Hudson Mills Metropark office. Said maybe they will roll the golf course on Thursday. He said they have been busy adding new snow to Buck's Run (not sure why) and plowing. If it is just a money thing, I would be willing to pay to ski on all trails, not just Buck's Run. The rental shop suggested the groomers may be short staffed.

Tue, Jan 27: Huron Meadows Metropark (Brighton)
Golf courses not rolled, not groomed. Ground cold enough and snow deep enough to perhaps create a nordic skating deck. Echoing the sentiment of Bill Bradley yesterday.
Bucks Run is immaculate.

Tue, Jan 27: Michaywe (Gaylord)
Groomed and set track on the lake loop, herringbone, and the river trail. Groomed out the skate deck on the front 9 loop. Snow intensity has picked up, most of today's grooming is already starting to get covered with fresh snow.

Tue, Jan 27: Cross Country Ski Headquarters (Higgins Lake)
We received about an inch of fresh snow last night. All trails are snow combed, and classic tracks are set. The Stone Turtle Cafe is open for lunch, drinks, and warming up by the fire. Excellent conditions on all trails!

The rest of the trail system still has a very skiable skate deck and classic tracks, just lightly snow-covered.
Wilderness received fresh tracks yesterday and is skiing well.

Monday night Bucks run excellent for classic. Tracks deep intact with good glide & great kick, very clean - I would use A skis if I had any!

Mon, Jan 26: Corsair Ski Trails (East Tawas)
Skiing conditions are very good after four inches of new snow blanketed the trails yesterday. Groomers Dan and Karl put in a long day today, operating two machines to get the trails in top shape. They rolled, packed and set tracks at the Silver Valley, Corsair and Wright’s Lake trail sections. It’s time for some outdoor fun!

Mon, Jan 26: Huron Meadows Metropark (Brighton)
Devastating news: They didn’t roll the golf course. The guys in the clubhouse (shout out the lovely guys in the clubhouse!!) didn’t know why. The good news is, there’s a ton of snow and very cold temps in the extended forecast.
Bucks is in great shape.

Skied local wooded area in Oakland Co. Broke trail in 5" fresh snow. Made nice 1/4 mi. loop. 1st hour sun and 18 degrees. Clouds and wind came in and broke up the party but we'll be back. Swix blue special was the wax of the day. SKI LOCAL.

Mon, Jan 26: Milham Park Golf Course (Kalamazoo)
Skate deck on the perimeter is non-existent. Was really hoping it would be regroomed today, but no dice. Understandable with how cold it's been.
Classic tracks are nice, but very soft. Hard to pole in some areas, as poles will just sink in far. The wind has also blown leaves into the tracks in a few areas, but that's not unexpected. Still, it's skiing in Kalamazoo, so can't complain too much!
A few grooming passes would really make Milham shine this season. Happy to help out, if I can ever be of service.

Mon, Jan 26: Shanty Creek - Schuss Mtn (Bellaire)
3-4" of fresh snow on top of an uneven groomed trail, This has become the norm for Schuss Mnt operations sadly. Despite it being the closest venue to our home, I doubt we'll return again.

Rolled and groomed the skate deck on maple ridge. Freshened the skate on most of herringbone. Reset track on most of the lake loop. Conditions are good!

Albeit cold, for those willing to venture out, skiers are being treated to the best trail conditions, dare I say, ever. Entire trail system is open, east and west side groomed yesterday, and I hear Pines loop gets the fresh groom today. Open at 9, gates close at 5.
