Cross Country Ski Report: Saturday, January 3rd
It’s a beautiful day for skiing out there! Groomer Mike is out snowcombing and the tracks are still in great shape. We will have a cabin boy at Trappers cabin today, and it’s looking like a wonderful day for northern Michigan Skiing!

Beautiful conditions continue today! Grooming Butch is out snowcombing all trails and conditions should be simply wonderful out there and will remain so through the weekend. Cabin Master Bob will be out at Trappers Cabin today from noon til 3 with a bonfire and hot dogs, so stop by and say hello!
Cross Country Ski Report: Thursday, January 1st
We received 3-4″of fresh snow yesterday and the grooming team is out setting fresh tracks and snowcombing the entire trail network. It should be an absolute dream to ski today!
Cross Country Ski Report: Wednesday, December 31st
After more snow yesterday, the trails are looking good. Groomer Mike is out snowcombing the skate lanes, and the tracks set yesterday are holding up pretty well. Solid tracks in some areas, with a few washed out sections, but very skiable! We’re supposed to receive another inch or two today and the good conditions should just keep getting better!
Cross Country Ski Report: Tuesday, December 30th
After a blizzard of a day yesterday, and more snow through the night, the trails are looking nice! Groomer Mike is out rolling as we speak and will groom everything up afterwards to make for some good skiing. More snow is forecasted for today and tomorrow, so we expect to set tracks on everything we can. Still a bit blustery out there, so there […]
Cross Country Ski Report: Monday, December 29th
We are currently in the midst of a blizzard, we’ve gotten about 1′”-2″ so far and it just keeps coming. The trails will be open, but we will not be able to groom until this evening, as we did receive a bit of rain last night and we need to let the base re-freeze beneath the new snow. Some of the low spots might […]
Cross Country Ski Report: Sunday, December 28th
Currently 32F and misting. No grooming today. Trails will close at noon to protect the base during the rain/mix that is coming around 1pm. Wintery mix will be transitioning to snow around 1AM. We are forecasted to get a good amount of snow after this warm front moves through, and our base should hold up so we should be back to good conditions hopefully […]
Cross Country Ski Report: Saturday, December 27th
After the corn snow yesterday, groomer mike groomed the whole trail system and then we let it harden up overnight making for pretty darn fine conditions! All trails are snowcombed and most of the tracks have been reset. Groomer Mike is going around again and both the skating lanes and classic tracks are in good shape. Come on out and ski!
Cross Country Ski Report: Friday, December 26th
We are currently in the midst of an ice storm, which is much better than rain! The ice should give way to snow around 11am, and we are hoping for a little accumulation on top of the micro-hail. The base is holding up well and this bit of frozen precipitation (whatever for it takes) will certainly help the trails. Our plan is to groom […]
Cross Country Ski Report: Wednesday, December 24th
After the warmup yesterday, things cooled back down overnight and the grooming team is out there this morning scraping up some of the glazed over sections. Some areas in the shade are still quite nice, but there are also some slick sections out there that would respond well to metal edge skis. Looks like snow Friday morning, so we should have nice skiing this […]
Cross Country Ski Report – Tuesday, December 23rd
We received about a half inch of dense, fresh snow overnight. This has improved the trail surface significantly, as it has covered the pine needles and oak leaves with great success. The snow itself is pretty moist, but snow nonetheless! Enjoy the conditions early today as temps are on the rise. Day lodge and cafe are open. Holiday Hours: Christmas Eve: 10am-2pm. Christmas Day: […]
Cross Country Ski Report – Monday, December 22nd
Good morning! Groomer Mike snow combed all the trails this morning, leaving the trail surface very nice. The big debris has been cleared, but there are still little bits of debris down on the trails from the big winds of the last couple days. All trails are open. Classic tracks are in mixed condition, with some parts OK, and some parts washed out and/or […]
