FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> 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.
We expect to look like this again by late Sunday going into next week. #forbush #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganToday is Founders Day at the Corner and Dave has made sure that we would have plenty of snow to groom and ski to celebrate.

FROM Caberfae Peaks >> Today is the calm between the storms.
We received 9” of a nice and heavy, base building snow in the last 36 hours. The groomers were out all night turning it into beautiful corduroy.
The NWS is calling for partly sunny skies and a high of 35. It will be a great day to be on the hill. Enjoy!

FROM Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes >> Good morning Skiers! We've seen a few inches of snow accumulation over the past 24 hours and it's beautiful. Unfortunately, our winter grooming vehicle has already been prepped for the summer and won't be out on the Heritage Trail today. We hope you're still able to get outside and enjoy the snow ❄️ #sleepingbear #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganGood morning Skiers!

FROM NTN Trails >> Friday Trail Update:
We recommend you don't come to Forestville today. We don't groom while it's actively snowing.
More importantly, the road isn't plowed and most likely won't get plowed until much later today. The driving conditions are very difficult.
The tracks and skate deck are currently buried and the snow is still falling.
Our goal is to have ski trails and singletrack trails ready for Saturday morning skiing and biking. Watch Nordic Pulse for up to the minute updates.
Stay safe out there. 🌨️❄️ #ntntrails #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichigan
FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> 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.

FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> It’s Wednesday, and we are forming a plan for the next couple of days. Tomorrow and Friday will probably be in play for some decent skiing. Tomorrow for sure. Going to groom up the 240 loop, Pancake, Linda’s Link, Badlands and the Pines loop for skate and classic. There are good classic tracks on the trails that won’t be groomed. Friday will be a bit more challenging for grooming, but maybe we can do the 240 loop, Linda’s link and Ridge. We expect to be closed to skiing on Saturday (ugly weather forecast) and not reopening until Thursday, March 12 following the warm temps. We hope that we will be open the following weekend based on cooler temps. Hold off on putting your skis away! Open at 9.
