A full service ski touring center located on over 1100 scenic acres of varied terrain along the Montreal River in Ironwood Michigan.
We had a busy weekend with good snow. The snow has been steady and temps cold. we are opening the Highlands Tuesday and hopefully the new backend of Tamarack 2 track. That will put us at 62 km of trails open. The Highlands make take a few days to smooth out so use caution on the hills . The main trails are being skied w race skis and are well covered w good smooth skate decks and full depth classic tracks.
Demo days Saturday 10-3.
We picked up about 6 inches of nice dense cold snow. We spent Tuesday packing and freezing the trails. We will be back out today grooming and plan to open for skiing Thursday at 10 am, we should have about 25 km or so open and ready for skiing Thursday and then we will work on the other 40 km. Opening more every day.
