Empire airport snowmobile trailhead
7+ and counting, hard pack base, local st riders have been using the county line (oviat rd) to get access to snowmobile trail and backcountry areas, this is a county plowed parking area. A popular parking area and usually used daily by skiers. The Osborn rd parking lot may not be plowed but parking on road shoulder is okay.
More snow expected Sunday and Monday.
Heavy moist snow on in groomed conditions exist.
Main snowmobile trail I would expect some moderate snow machine activity.
Sort of the endless winter syndrome...

Good Morning Everyone!! It's not as cool as yesterday morning, and it has started to snow.....temp -6 C.
There was no grooming overnight -- we actually had no snowfall overnight, until just recently. It is quite windy out, so the open areas could have windswept snow over the trails.
The Mabel Lake Trail was groomed yesterday as of 11:30 a.m.
We hope everybody has a fantastic day!!

Fri, Mar 13: Cross Country Ski Headquarters (Higgins Lake)
We gotten about 5" of fresh snow this morning, with no sign of it stopping! Trails are open today and all skiable, but not groomed yet. We plan to have the trails groomed by tomorrow morning, with some pretty darn good 'spring skiing' available. This weekend could be a truly amazing 'last hurrah"!

Fri, Mar 13: Forbush Corner (Frederic)
The predicted heavy snow is falling, forecast is 6 to 8 inches in the next 24 hours. We expect to groom, but expect soft conditions and new snow accumulating. This is great news for tomorrow. We will be able to open up the whole trail system with great conditions. The forecast for Sunday and Monday is for a major winter storm. We may have to close and wait this storm out. Stay tuned. We will see how it goes. The forecast keeps changing!

Thu, Mar 12: Boyne Mountain (Boyne Falls)
The big thaw left our trails in very marginal condition. We will be closed Friday, the 13th, and reopening on Saturday, the 14th, trusting that Mother Nature is about to replenish our snow. We hope to be open through Sunday the 22nd, but will update as conditions dictate.

Looks like Dawson tracks all over the place...
As always best snow with a base is all the way in the back (south) on the east west fairway which is last to go in the spring. Some actually will walk for their last runs. See what we get in the next snow event.

Full trail system groom with snow and perfect temps in the forecast. Peak ski season continues just quick border crossing away. One plus side to USA being rogue is no wait at customs!

We are so excited!!! It's a beautiful sunny morning up here, we got some more snow overnight and the temps cooled down....currently at -9 C.
The groomer was out this morning -- all systems were groomed with the Piston Bully for both classic and skate.
It's a perfect day to grab your gear and head on up for a ski.....the trails are dialed in and looking splendid!

Opening back up today now that cooler temperatures have returned. Icing has also returned. Fresh groom on the man-made snow loops only. Snow is in the forecast, so we should be able to get some additional trails open over the weekend. Open 9 to 5. Spring trail fee $10.
