Grooming plan for skate and classic (might change depending on weather): East side trails will be groomed tomorrow. West side Friday, and Pines Loop on Saturday. #forbush #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganIt took a couple of days but we are dug out, and all trails are clear. 100%+ coverage.

FROM Munising Bay Trail Network - MBTN >> We’re working on getting the snow bike loop at the upper parking lot at Valley Spur opened back up.
If you need a place to get outside and get some fresh air grab your snowshoes or wide back country skis and join the Panking party.
We’ve packed a double wide trail on the first part of the crazy 8 loop to make it easier for the groomer to make a few laps. The second loop of the figure 8 needs Panking too. The more the merrier. #valleyspur #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichigan
FROM Friends of Valley Spur >> Parking lots are plowed. Doris and I are packing the first loop of the snow bike trail. Come on out and join in the fun. #valleyspur #snowphotos #crosscountry #SkiMichigan
FROM The Highlands >> ❄️ Powder for the taking! Leslie's Quest is a flowy blue run out at North Peak. Take Interconnect chairlift up to the north end and go straight off the chairlift to find this hidden gem. Leslie's Quest is great for a beginner or intermediate skier, an easy crowd pleaser. It's slower at the start while you meander through the woods, but it gets into a few little carving sessions toward the middle and bottom of the run where the terrain widens a bit. Take North Face chairlift back up to the top of North Peak for views of the Mackinac Bridge on a bluebird day. 💙
❄️ Current conditions are incredible after a blizzard dropped 32" of powder here in Harbor Springs. Come out and enjoy it while it lasts!

FR0M Vasa Trail Ski Conditions >> From the Groomers -
Good morning Badgers,
Brian and Dave got started at 4AM with temps around 29 degrees and no new snow. They are using the PistenBully and plan to groom the entire trail system. They have finished the 5K and 10K and will continue on to complete the 25K.
The trail is looking great, but a little soft.
Cheers,
The Winter Trail Grooming Crew

FROM Caberfae Peaks >> Update on South Peak as of 12 PM Today:
South Peak Lift sustained significant icing during the freezing rain event Sunday & Sunday night. This icing event was followed by very cold temperatures that has made the ice very hard and difficult to remove. The Lift Maintenance Crew is working hard to safely and methodically remove all the ice from the lift. Please understand this a long process and your patience is appreciated. The crew still has a long way to go. However, the temperatures are forecasted to moderate on Thursday and Friday this week, which will help. We are now planning to have the lift open by Saturday, and we will be back to 100% open for the weekend. Please continue to check back for updates.

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
