The North American Junior VASA Races Prove To Be FUN and Successful For Young Cross Country Skiers of ALL Ages

By Pete Edwards

Young cross country ski racers from as far away as Pennsylvania and as young as 2 ½ years old participated Saturday afternoon in the Junior VASA. Junior skiers ages 7 and under skied the 1km course. Skiers 8-15 skied the longer and more challenging (but very skiable and user friendly) 2km trail.

As all of the Junior VASA participants cross the finish line they received a North American VASA Championship Medal. The Junior VASA is all about participation. The event is not timed. All finishers are winners. The entry has always been a super value at only $5.00 per skier. VASA goody bag included.

“Junior Vasa skiers will be the Vasa skiers of the future,” states Pete LaPlaca, Executive Director of the North American Vasa. “Hopefully they’ll remember the fun they had on skis in this event, and continue the sport for their entire lives. The smiles on these kid’s faces are our reward.”

The North American VASA is recognized for its meticulous trail grooming and excellent ski conditions. The Jr. VASA receives the same quality attention. Trail grooming for both Jr. VASA courses were again performed by Timber Ridge Resort and Nordic Center’s grooming experts.

The date for the 2012 North American Junior VASA is Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012.

Kids wanted.

FROM Swedetown Trails >> Skiing on May 1st? Our head groomer is making it a reality! Come and enjoy May Day Skiing at Swedetown!
Groomer report from Nordic Pulse:
Hello again all! Still grooming! Tonight I just dragged the skate deck and added in Mama Bear and the rest of Greenstone to the trails groomed the last few nights; Freshly groomed are Tiger, Valley, Cedar, Birch, Ed's, Greenstone, and Mama Bear. As usual; Expect late season Spring conditions and keep a look out for bare and thin spots. The start of Valley and start of Mama Bear both look MUCH worse than the rest of the trails - if you walk past the bare spots, the rest of the trail is in great shape. Intact but not freshly set tracks are on Valley, Ed's, Cedar, and a section of Greenstone up to Powderhouse. Enjoy your ski everyone! #swedetown #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganSkiing on May 1st? Our head groomer is making it a reality! Come and enjoy May Day Skiing at Swedetown!

FROM Swedetown Trails >> Wednesday ski anyone? On April 29!? We might be one of the last trail systems still grooming in the US.
Notes from our head groomer: Good evening all! The snow is melting fast here on the trails, but we still have some for you to ski on! I took a snowmobile out this evening to groom Valley, Tiger, Cedar, Birch, and Ed's. Due to equipment issues I was only able to set fresh classic tracks on Valley and Ed's, but the others have had the skate lanes dragged. Ed's loop and Valley will likely retain a good base for the longest time this season, as usual. Please use caution on Birch, there are a couple bare spots, one on the long twisting downhill after Birch hill. Enjoy your ski everyone! #swedetown #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganWednesday ski anyone? On April 29!? We might be one of the last trail systems still grooming in the US.

FROM Swedetown Trails >> Our groomer was out again Saturday night, 4/25/2026 grooming up the ski trails. Groomer report:
Sunday skiers! This evening I took out the Husky and reset tracks and the skate lane on Pine Ridge, Valley, Tiger, Greenstone, Powderhouse, Ed's, Cedar, Birch and Tamarack. Spring conditions exist throughout all of the trails. There are bare spots forming and you will need to ski on grass or take off your skis.
With the low of 38F tonight I am not sure the track will set up overnight but am hopeful that by tilling in some cold snow, it will help, and there will be good skiing early in the morning. Enjoy! #swedetown #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganOur groomer was out again Saturday night, 4/25/2026 grooming up the ski trails. Groomer report:

Alright, you caught us. 😉 While we won’t actually be launching you to the summit with literal rockets next winter (sorry, insurance reasons), we have some VERY REAL news that’s just as exciting.
ㅤ
It’s no secret that being without the Rocket Chair this season was tough on everyone. We want to give a massive shoutout to this incredible community for your patience, your loyalty, and for keeping the stoke alive while the lift was down. It's been a fabulous season!🙌
ㅤ
Now, for the announcement you’ve been waiting for: A BRAND NEW LIFT is officially being installed this summer to replace Rocket! 🏗️🚠
ㅤ
We are keeping the exact specs, type, and speed under wraps for just a little longer, but get ready for a massive upgrade to your mountain experience. The future of Marquette Mountain starts now.

The blizzard is here, but the lifts are spinning! We are layering a massive amount of fresh powder onto the 8 inches of "white gold" we just got on Friday. It is falling so fast that everywhere on the mountain is seeing "free refills" right now. With this storm stacking on top of an already deep base, it is an absolute dream out here!

When you’re ready to warm up, head into the Tbar! In addition to our full regular menu, we are still running our special seafood highlights:
