March 13, 2009, Friday: We are in a warming trend with highs possibly reaching 50 degrees this weekend. We still have snow in the woods, but of course, it will be melting fast. Spring skiing is often icy in the morning, warming later in the day. Ski with  caution! Know your experience level and do not attempt trails above that level.

Snowshoeing is another good way to get out and enjoy the winter. If you snowshoe, please stay to the side of the tracks, not on the tracks.

We have not been able to groom with our old tracker because it is broken.  The trails are skied in with a solid base.

Volunteer maintained, donation funded cross country ski trails!

Please consider donating generously so we can replace our tracker.

The Volunteers Of The Manistee Cross Country Ski Council Operate

      We are a volunteer organization working in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service.  We operate and maintain over 30 kilometers of track set trails. The Big M is one of the first great NORDIC trail systems in the U.S. in the 1970's.  It was professionally developed in the early 1950's as a downhill area.  We were also one of very first Nordic Clubs on the Web in 1995.  You can ski the Big M all winter and bike here all summer, so come on up and enjoy our splendid trails every chance you get! We are donation funded. This year we are requesting an $8.00 donation. Your donation will help to fund a new groomer.

Send donations to address on the bottom of the page. There is also a donation pipe at Big M.

 

 Come and ski or snowshoe with us.
