 
				Rollerskiers: The long wooden bridge on the Kensington Metropark bike path (next to I-96) is closed for maintenance! No word on how long it will take...
 
		 
	As we enter into 2018, we should officially close out 2017. The final Michigan Cup results did not get tallied until late fall. Here they are!
 
		 
	We've made some final changes to the Michaywe' events and many people were asking about it at the Forbush race.
 
		 
	Registration is now open for the 38th annual UP Health System Portage Great Bear Chase. The race will take place on Saturday, March 10th, 2018 at the beautiful Swedetown Trails in Calumet, Michigan.
 
		 
	Cross Country Ski Headquarters' Mariah Frye-Colie and Team NordicSkiRacer's Andy Liebner held off the competition to win at Frobush Corner.
 
		 
	Alex Vanais blew the senior men’s field away from the first turn, and Jordyn Ross similarly distanced the rest of the women’s senior field.
 
		 
	With skin skis and AT setups growing in popularity, Swix has created the Skin Care Pro series, dedicated to ensuring optimal performance of ski skins.
 
		 
	The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is expanding winter recreation opportunities at Leelanau State Park with the addition of a new, marked winter sports trail open to hikers, cross-country skiers, snowshoers and fat tire bikers.
 
		 
	It is fun to help pull off a nordic ski race. We are so thankful for the total support of Lakes of the North crew. They have been grooming day over day to compact the abundant snowfall.
 
		 
	At this time though (preseason), it makes sense to look at ski selection. Here are some conditions and what I would recommend for skating and classic skis.
 
		 
	Fischer introduces 2018 – 2019 product introductions and improvements to both in-track and light touring models, including a new Speedmax Twinskin, a marriage of the dual mohair channel technology with their highest level racing skis.
 
		 
	Both the Lakes of the North Freestyle and the Forbush Time Trial will both award full Michigan Cup points this weekend.
 
		 
	Not all the racing in on groomed trails. For a decidedly different adventure, there's the 2018 Michigan Backcountry Ski Series.
