John C set track on B, D, Y and W later this morning. Also steel drag on same trails flattened things out. So should be decent Spring skiing the next few mornings with temps below freezing overnight. Look for the Goldilocks hour in the morning, not to cold, not to hot. We still have a deep base, so may survive warm spell.

The storm Saturday morning dumped 15" plus on an already deep base. Unfortunately both are Jeeps are down with major issues. Our paid groomer is off. So only able to run a snowmobile around a few trails. People were able to ski in the track Saturday and enjoyed the scenery. Warm temps and rain will actually settle the new snow, so there will still be snow. Pick your time of day and skis if you want to get out. Snowshoe trail will be great. Spring skiing is like a box of Chocolates.

We got a "Boat Load" of snow early this morning (18"), followed by full sunshine in the afternoon. Both our Jeeps are down for major repairs, so I ran a few loops with the snowmobile. Classic skiers were happy to just be out enjoying the scenery. Grooming plans: Will add some more loops in the next few days. A lot of base under this last storm, so keep us in mind for some Spring skiing.

We had several inches of LES yesterday which groomed in well this morning. Skate lanes came out very good. Unable to set new classic tracks, but snow in older tracks slowed things down. Full sun, so people coming all day long. Groomed A, B, D, Y and W, this morning. Most people using our upper parking lot as W and Y are fairly flat loops. We still have a deep base so will keep something groomed into April.

Great base, little debris and plenty of control after grooming with Ginzu this weekend for skate skiing. Tracks were a bit banged up but not bad.

Good skating this morning after full groom yesterday morning. Trails should be good all weekend as temps forecast up to 34F today and tomorrow. A light crowd this morning as Munising is cheering on Boys Basketball team who are playing for State Championships. Use upper parking lot for access to Y and W which are our flat trails. Lodge is open.

Several inches of snow overnight and several more during and after the groomer went through this morning. There is still a large base with the skate deck being flat and firm. Classic was very good today with fresh snow.

4-5" of fresh snow Wednesday night which John groomed in Thursday morning. John was out again at 5am grooming entire system. Gregg R reported good skating early. My kick wax was still working at 1pm. A good base with off trail snow as deep as it has been all winter. Snow shoe trail is looking good. Saturday 11 a-4p is our annual Taste and Glide. A full lineup of great food put together by Peggy Carberry. Some live music. Grooming plans: Groomer will be out early Saturday. Early skaters get the cord.

Very good classic skiing with those using kick wax having a great day. Skins worked well also. A great turnout on a beautiful sunny day. Tomorrow promises to be even better. If you are on your way home from the Birkie plan to stop for a ski. Lodge is open every day with wood stove going.
