    GREAT SKI CONDITIONS!!

    Aspen Grove XC Center, East Jordan, MI (231-620-5679)

    Good snow conditions yet for XC skiing in Northern Michigan, but thinning fast! "Spring skiing" is HERE: good early as crispiness softens (excellent, fast skate skiing!), slower and soft midday, then fast again in late afternoon and in the woods. Great morning "Crust Cruising" should be coming on as well, OFF TRAILS.

    Timing is everything. Mid morning ski conditions are excellent as snow thaws. Getting very soft by afternoon and melting away. Get out and MAKE TRACK! Still enough snow on all trails, but bare spots will start growing. ENJOY!!!!

    Plenty of snow in the woods for snowshoeing and back country treks; off piste snow conditions are nearly perfect! Consider a winter raft trip on the Jordan in combination with you ski experience. Contact Jordan Valley Outfitter (231)-536-0006 or Aspen Grove XC (231)-620-5679. Make tracks, it will be a Pure Michigan winter weekend. Ski you soon!
