FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> Well, the storm left us with a weird mess of frozen snow. We spent over an hour trying to break it up and access the doors of the shop, yurt, ski school and vault toilets. We were unsuccessful with the vault toilets, but will try again once it warms up. Wednesday's plan is to get the piles of built up cement snow out of the entrances and get the parking lot plowed. We will also check the trails for downfall.
We plan to open up this Thursday through Monday. Looks like another great week of skiing is on tap. #forbush #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichigan

FROM Boyne Mountain Resort >> We’re going back to our roots ❄️🐰
The Carnival Weekend costume contest kicks off Friday night at 10pm in the Snowflake Lounge, with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes up for grabs. The dare? Wear your costume on the hill Saturday.
🤓 A quick history lesson: Carnival's origins trace back to the early days of Boyne Mountain Ski Club, when a group of skiers hosted the Snow Bunny Ball. Friday night, everyone dressed up in the Trophy Room. Saturday, skiers hit the hill in full costume… or ended up in “jail” courtesy of ski patrol.
The tradition lives on. Will you answer the call? ❄️ #boynemountain #SkiMichigan
FROM Vasa Trail Ski Conditions >> From the Groomers -
Good morning Badgers,
Jim P and Dale got to the barn at 4AM with temperatures around 12 degrees. The parking lot is still not plowed and is not accessible. They are doing the spring loop with snowmobiles to pack the snow and clear fallen branches. The crew is not using any grooming equipment yet.
The Vasa is still not skiable, but the team is working hard to get it ready!
This is a pic of the entry to the Bartlett Road Trailhead. Word is that it should be plowed out at some point today. The other 2 pics demonstrate the amount of snow thats fallen in the last couple days and how just getting the gear out and starting to pack such deep snow requires extra time and effort. 😉🤙🏽❄️
Cheers,
The Winter Trail Grooming Crew

FROM Friends of Valley Spur >> Tuesday the 17th of March. The UP has been hit by a Historic Snow Storm and snow is still coming down. Very high winds (62 mile an hour) that have taken out more trees then we can count. Power is out, roads are closed and we have no idea when our kids will be back to school. The Valley Spur Committee has made a tough and the right decision to end grooming for the season. The work and financial cost it would take does not warrant our reopening. We are all sad that our ski season is being cut short. The forecast for Thursday is calling for a rain/snow mix. We have had a great season for our Passholders and Visitors and are very thankful. We can't say enough good about our Groomer John Cromell. John you are so appreciated, along with the many volunteers it takes to run Valley Spur. VS is a great community to be apart of. I don't have a total snowfall total but at least 30". I have attached a pictures of my home in down town Munising. This is after it was snowplown the day before. Locals please attach pictures so others can understand. We can't get to the Valley at this time. Stay safe and we hope you come back and ski with us next year. Peggy #valleyspur #snowphotos #crosscountry #SkiMichigan
FROM Boyne Mountain Resort >> We like big jumps and we cannot lie.
We are still buzzing from Air & Après and it might be a while before we come down. #boynemountain #snowboarding #SkiMichigan
FROM The Highlands >> ❄️❄️Powder days, bluebird laps, and “one more run.”
Set yourself up for all of it next winter. Lock in next season before prices go up. Last chance to buy at the lowest prices of the season ends on March 19th!
