FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> The weird concrete snow that we received from the last storm turned into sugar mush yesterday once it was groomed. It rained this morning and is close to freezing. It's to warm to groom with the Pisten Bully at this time. We are going to try to use the Tiddtech to smooth out the skate lanes on the loop. If the base is too soft for the snowmobile we will not continue grooming. Classic tracks are icy at this. Colder temps tonight will allow us to groom on Monday. Base is in great shape with 100% coverage. #forbush #SkiMichigan
FROM Shanty Creek Resorts >> Our first Denim Days was Jean-uinely a great time! #shantycreek #SkiMichigan
FROM Boyne Mountain Resort >> Two days down. 🎉
The costumes came out, the saunas fired up, and Stein Eriksen’s patio brought the heat all afternoon.
There’s only one thing left on the schedule, and it's the one you've been waiting for. 🤝
Tomorrow. North McLouth. #boynemountain #SkiMichigan
FROM Crystal Mountain >> Thanks to all who were brave enough for our gravity-defying kayak race on the snow! Leprechauns were spotted and many laughs were had. 🍀 #crystalmountain #SkiMichigan
FROM Vasa Trail Ski Conditions >> From the groomers (10:34 am)
Good morning Badgers,
No trail grooming yesterday or today due to warm daytime temperatures, but the good news is reports coming in say the trail is in really great shape, thanks in part to those below-freezing temps overnight.
Have a great weekend out there!
