Cross Country Skiing

[Trek-chick]

Trek-chick, that sounds fabulous. I'm here in Michigan too, wonder when we'll get our first snow. Where do you ski in Michigan?

I like to XC ski at Boyne and add in some downhill too.

We have been taking a yearly weeklong trip to the Porcupine Mountains (excellent cross country trails and warming huts). Cute backcountry cabins/Yurts you can rent too. It is a true Up North backcountry skiing experience-- I love it there!!! Great downhill skiing too.

Locally, we usually go to Stoney Creek Metro Park (mountain bike trails) but, have to wait forever for decent snow on the trails.

We just got back from hunting up North and checked out Silver Valley and the Corsair XC ski trail system. That one is on the list for this coming season for sure.

Almost time!! The mountains got about 15 inches last week and another storm is heading in tonight with estimates of close to 15 inches again

Aside from a late-October Nor'Easter whose precipitation did not last 24 hours, we have barely had any snow in southeastern Massachusetts this season.

We finally got several inches of fluffy powder overnight Thursday and throughout the day Saturday. DBF and I reacquainted ourselves with our skis and enjoyed our backyard trails for an hour this afternoon.

It felt good to get out again; hopefully Mother Nature will give us more opportunities in the next month or two.

Reviving this thread.
Snow forecast, possibly a little Monday and maybe more on Wednesday. Since I sled a total of 3 times last year, I am ready!!!

Wow do we need snow out here. Pretty much nothing so far. :-(

Well, we are in luck today, I would say there is 8" of new snow and it is supposed to snow throughout the day. Hopefully it stays all snow this week!

Too bad that I couldn't play hookey from work and get out and ski... but considering that I work for a ski shop well.... I guess you get the picture HA!
