Yes, this has been a rocky year. But, because of the constant freeze/thaws, the folks at Huron Meadows Metropark have actually worked harder than ever to bring us what skiing we have had.
Please join us Saturday, March 11 at The Corner for a celebration of our Founder, Dave Forbush. This is also a day for us to appreciate our super loyal customers - Free Skiing !!!
Stokely Creek is announcing that this is the last year for the Wabos Loppet. If you have never done the Loppet or want to do it one last time this is the last year to do it.
If you look at the cumulative snowfall, it really hasn't been too bad a year. Alpena and Traverse City are a little ahead of schedule, while other locations have a little less snow than normal...but not radically so.
Run, walk, hike, snowshoe, cross-country ski 5k in a Michigan state park, forest, trail or public land, show your GPS tracker, and get a cool medal!

Steve Considine, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in White Lake Township, will give a presentation on "Weather in the Great Lakes" and shed some light on snow forecast for this winter at the next Washtenaw Ski Touring Club meeting.
Skiers, bikers, runners: Could be interesting to see what they are doing for endurance athletes. Could we get snowmaking at Kensington, too? Skate trails? Better grooming in general?
If you haven't heard yet - the beloved Pines Loop is set to re-open for the upcoming ski season. Trail clearing is underway. We plan to continue work this weekend and could use your help to finish this project.
