🎿 Nordic Trail Update:
🏡 Lodge and trails open at 9:00 AM
(Lodge closes at 3:00 PM)
No new grooming today. The PB100 really worked the snow yesterday grinding in new tracks, so we’re going to let the trail rest today.
Groomer Dan will be back out tomorrow morning to assess trail conditions and groom as conditions allow.
☀️ In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine and get out for a glide! #hansonhills #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganWEDNESDAY UPDATE — MARCH 4, 2026

FROM Friends of Valley Spur >> Tuesday the 3rd of March and our Groomer says we are going to let the trails ride as is until the weekend due to this warm up. Trails will be groomed up for Taste and Glide. You may want to snowshoe or ski to enjoy the full moon this evening with your head lamps. Our signage is reflective. The lodge will be open all week. I won't be doing another report until conditions change. The picture I have attached was of last night's moon over Munising Bay. #valleyspur #crosscountry #snowphotos #skimichiganTuesday the 3rd of March and our Groomer says we are going to let the trails ride as is until the weekend due to this warm up.

My turn in the PB100 this morning. Fresh classic tracks and corduroy are being reset on Yellow, Brown, Blue, and Easy Return to keep things skiing smooth.
If you’ve been waiting for a midweek glide, today’s a good one. See you on the trails. - Justin ❄️ #hansonhills #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganTUESDAY UPDATE — MARCH 3, 2026

FROM Vasa Trail Ski Conditions >> From the Groomers -
Good morning Badgers,
Brandon and Dale kicked things off bright and early at 4am. It was a crisp 9 degrees at the barn with no new snow overnight.
They're using the Tidd Techs to freshen up the skate lanes on all loops, except the 3k where they'll go just as far as the post. The classic tracks are looking to be in good shape.
Photo from the top of the Wall this morning. 😉🤙🏽❄️
Cheers,
The Winter Trail Grooming Crew

We greeted a lot of new skiers discovering Forbush Corner for the first time. Today we will be re-grooming selected trails on the east and west side for skate and classic. All trails are tracked. Open at 9. Trails and buildings close at 5.

FROM Hanson Hills >> Monday March 2, 2026
We will continue Nordic operations and grooming efforts through March 7th (Lodge and trails open 9:00am– Lodge closes 3:00pm daily).
Current Trail Conditions
• Overall conditions are fast
• Track set is icy
• Expect firm, spring-like surfaces, especially in the mornings
Groomer Dan will be out this morning with the Tidd Tech combing skate lanes on:
• Yellow
• Brown
• Blue
• Easy Return
This will help refresh the skate deck and improve edge control in the firm conditions.
The PB100 did not want to start this morning. We will need it operational in order to fully tear out and reset the classic track. Maintenance is working on getting it up and running, and once operational, we plan to:
• Tear out the existing icy track
• Reset fresh track where conditions allow
We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work through spring conditions and equipment challenges. Late-season skiing can be some of the fastest and most fun of the year — just come prepared for firm surfaces.
Thank you for supporting Nordic operations through the final week of grooming. #hansonhills #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganMonday March 2, 2026

FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> Well, that was a warm one today. However cold temps are returning and normal winter conditions will be returning the next few days. Some melting yesterday but trails are in great shape. Pines loop and east side trails will get the fresh groom for skate and classic. All trails are tracked. Open at 9. Gates close at 5. Worth the drive. #forbush #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganWell, that was a warm one today. However cold temps are returning and normal winter conditions will be returning the next few days.

FROM Friends of Valley Spur >> Friday the 27th of February Cromel groomed all trails. Carlson did extra groom on AB and W in hopes it would improve those skate lanes. Shortly after grooming was complete snow began. Get out early for the best conditions before this afternoon's warm up.

Curious how Mr. Carlsons grooming worked out. Any reports from skate skiers?
FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> West side trails and a few more of the well used trails yesterday on the east side will get the fresh skate and classic groom today. The short warm up today will not hurt the trails much because we have plenty of base. Open at 9. Trails and building close at 5.
We hosted 55 skiers from the Gaylord Middle School Ski Club yesterday after school.

FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> Shaping up to be a wonderful 5 day stretch of xc skiing at the corner. We have plenty of snow on the trail system. The brief warm up into the 40s on Friday will be short lived with colder temps returning overnight and into the weekend. The east side trails will get a fresh groom today including the crowd favorite Pines Loop. Need some advice on how to improve your skiing?

FROM Friends of Valley Spur >> Monday the 23rd of February and the snow didn't start falling until now so there will be no new grooming until very early tomorrow morning.

FROM Friends of Valley Spur >> Sunday the 22nd of February and John Cromell has another challenging groom. The ice on the trees collected more snow and they are very low hanging branches. 6 to 10 inches of new snow and the poor old Jeep is having tough time and is over heating. John plans to groom all trails today. Check out his picture of what he is facing. Update check out the after pics. Beautiful groom. #valleyspur #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichigan
FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> Looks like another great day at the Corner. #forbush #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganLooks like another great day at the Corner.
FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing >> Open 9-5. it is still snowing lightly; and the grooming process has commenced. It would be best if skiers let the deck and tracks sit until at least 10A to firm up. (setting up time is good for the groomed trails) Please use mdot to assess when and where driving is worrisome, and be careful in our parking lot. The snow is super wet and slippery on top of ice in some areas. Please use the Nordic Pulse app or website to see what has been groomed so far. #forbush #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichiganOpen 9-5. it is still snowing lightly; and the grooming process has commenced.
