FROM Vasa Trail Ski Conditions >> From the Groomers❄️- Greetings Badgers, Groomers Randy and Brian are getting a later start than usual this morning due to the winter weather advisory, with lake-effect snow and strong winds expected to continue into early afternoon. Timing today’s groom will help maximize packing of the falling snow and keep it on the trail rather than blowing into the woods. While today’s work is being done with snowmobiles, groomers Glen and Dave took Piper the PistenBully out for a test run yesterday and found that it was still pulling up a fair amount of dirt from beneath the tracks. As a result, they’re holding off for now, though all signs point to being closer to a PistenBully groom thanks to the weather and winter conditions so far this season. And finally—thank you to everyone who stopped by yesterday’s Vasa Open House! A big thanks to our volunteer cookie bakers and all who helped create such a festive atmosphere. Cheers, The Winter Grooming Crew❄️ Report #14 Date: 12/14/2025 Time: 8:00 AM #vasa #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichigan ... See MoreSee Less

Friday at Boyne Mountain, fireside nights, Saturday carving runs at Crystal Mountain, and long hot-tub soaks to close it out ❤️❄️
