Fri, Dec 12: Huron Meadows Metropark (Brighton)
Skied Coyote Run with waxless classic skis. No real tracks to ski in. Trails were hard packed and slick. No bare spots. Skaters seemed to be going well even without nice corduroy. Overall a great day to be out skiing.

Plenty of snow at Crystal Mountain. Excellent classic tracks, very good skate lane that was a bit soft in places.

Fri, Dec 12: Kensington Metropark (Milford)
THE GOOD: The golf course is groomed for skating and Classic. The woods are groomed for Classic.
THE BAD: The oak leaves are so thick in the woods it's almost unskiable. The golf course tracks are also thickly covered in many spots. Use waxless skis.
THE UGLY: It's been a while since I've skied the golf course and forgot how incredibly loud it is on the section that parallels the highway.

Double set track (mostly), fast hardpack sticks leaves dirt. Use rock skis. It's still a good workout.

Fri, Dec 12: Big M (Cadillac)
About 6? of fresh snow fell Thursday night. The following trails were groomed Thursday evening: Corkpine, most of Lumberjack, most of Camp 24, Big Wheel, Double Bit, Ryberg Rd and Catamount.
The plan is to groom all of the trails again on Friday or Saturday, so conditions should be excellent for when most people can get to Big M!

Fri, Dec 12: Corsair Ski Trails (East Tawas)
And a new ski season begins! Corsair Trail Council groomers, Dan and Karl, have been working long hours the past few days. They’ve been packing, grading snow and setting tracks on the Corsair and Silver Valley trail sections. The Wright’s Lake section is packed and graded. Skiers were enjoying the freshly groomed tracks this afternoon, taking advantage of the early season snowfall and good trail conditions,

Fri, Dec 12: Independance Oaks (Clarkston)
They have indeed rolled all the trails here! Some gravel churned up in just a couple spots so leave the A skis in their glass case. If you bomb down the east side of the big hill on "i", just know it veers to the right instead of the typical left after the stand of pines. Caught me by surprise!

Fri, Dec 12: Cross Country Ski Headquarters (Higgins Lake)
After yesterday's snow, the trails are in superb shape! Classic tracks are set and skating lanes are combed and gorgeous. Looks like a great weekend of skiing! We have about 5-8" of packed snow on the trails, and 12-15" in the woods.

Fri, Dec 12: Hanson Hills (Grayling)
Today is one of those winter days at Hanson Hills. The snow is just right, the skiing is smooth and fast (if you are waxed correctly), and the views through the hardwood forest are absolutely beautiful—quiet, snowy, and pure Northern Michigan magic.
Trail Report:
Groomer Dan is out this morning on the main trail system, combing skate lanes to keep conditions dialed in.
Freshly reset classic tracks (set yesterday) on:
• Green
• Blue
• Brown
• Yellow
• Easy Return
Wilderness grooming is temporarily paused while our grooming snowmobile is in for repairs—but the rest of the trail system is skiing great and ready for adventure.
Lodge & Trails Open at 9am
Trail passes available in the lodge
If you’ve been waiting for a perfect day to get out and ski… today is it.
