Fri, Jan 2: Independance Oaks (Clarkston)
Very cold and very sunny. Full coverage but thin. Skied in tracks only. Lakeshore very doable. Not enough snow for the hills. Should be fun for a weekend jaunt. Enjoy!

Cedar Trace and several other trails are partially rolled with skier tracks present. And where it's not rolled there's plenty of fluff with some tracks. Get your skis out here.

Brighton has picked up about 7" of natural snow since NY Eve. It is light and fluffy. HM rolled the other trails so they are skiable but soft underneath. Bucks is in great shape and you can glide out on connector. Happy New Year. Thanks HM crew!

Thank you for grooming and making it a beautiful trail! Skate skiing was a blast! There were so many people! So glad you groomed early to allow for the local beginner skiers to give it a try. People see snow on the ground and they think of skiing. So happy to see new skiers enjoying the sport! Let’s continue to grow skiing as a passion for the future! Way to go Huron Meadows, thanks for making this a possibility in our area.

December 31st: “No grooming will occur on Bucks Run on Jan 1st”
January 1st: “Buck’s Run was groomed today”
I travel an hour to ski, so I have to plan ahead, and skipped a great ski day, assuming the information on the 31st was correct.
So frustrating, Huron Meadows.

My take is a little different… I found the grooming to be a pleasant surprise. I bought my A and B skis, also coming from over an hour away. Based on yesterday’s report, I knew it would be skiable. To find out I could skate with my A skis on fresh corduroy was just a bonus. Ken described conditions perfectly below. Well done, Huron Meadows! Get out there and enjoy it!

Bucks Run was groomed and is in excellent condition for skating and classic. The classic is probably the best that it's been all year. The connector from the clubhouse to the trail has enough snow that if you're careful you can ski out there but use caution. If you're skating, I would recommend double polling out to the trailhead and staying in the classic tracks that have been skied in , just be a little bit cautious when you go across the Gravel Road . Once you're on bucks, it's A ski conditions for sure.

Bucks Run will be open for skiing tomorrow but will not be groomed. The building will be open for its usual hours. The park says that the next possible groom date is January 2nd. At 3:30 today it's snowing really hard and the trail is filling in nicely. Might be a good classic day as the track is rock solid and once it's skied in a little bit it should be good. Not so sure about skating for tomorrow.

Bucks Run was firm with about an inch of new snow on top of a groomed skate deck that made it controllable while still being fast. The classic tracks were firm as well and there we a lot of skiers out enjoying the firm trail on the last day of 2025. Thanks Huron Meadows!

Huron Meadows reports that Buck's Run will be open at noon, groomed for both skate and classic.

Highly variable, but decent conditions this morning for skate and classic. If you're looking to get out and ski, do it this afternoon; the park has already decided to close for tomorrow. Given how thin the snow coverage is it's doubtful they'll be able to reopen until they spread more snow, and based on past practices, that's unlikely to happen until after New Year . But check anyways in case we get lucky.
