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.

2" of wet snow overnight was groomed in and new track set. Classic skiers were doing well despite temps into the 30's. We have a good base so any mild temps will not have much of an impact. A good turnout of midweek skiers from lower Mich and WI. Lodge is open every day with a wood fire. Snowshoe trail along the creek is well packed in.
