    ARE GROOMED SKI TRAILS THE ONLY PLACE WE CAN SKI?
    Backcountry skiing is the sport of skiing in places and terrain that have not been altered by people, and away from snow that has been groomed for skiing.
    Why do people backcountry ski? Simply because its fun.
    Backcountry skiing is one of the most relaxing, pleasant and rewarding activities of the winter season. We enjoy the beautiful terrain that we ski through, and we enjoy the solitude that a little effort will bring. What more could a skier ask for?
    The focus here is on discovering fresh snow covered landscapes, viewing wildlife, experiencing some beautiful sights and sounds, and simply being away from more well traveled routes.
    This type of skiing may take place at just about any patch of ground where there is snow and there aren't any people. Examples would include a favorite hiking trail, the forest behind your house or cabin, on rolling hills, or even the unplowed seasonal two-track fire trails (narrow roads) in the National Forest.
    The Corsair Ski Trails are very fortunate to be located in the heart of the 120,000 acre Huron National Forest, and adjacent to the magnificent AuSable River Valley. Just think of all the skiing possibilities in our area!
