FROM Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes >> ❄️ Snow Report ❄️
Our crews had the chance to dust off the Ginsu (pictured above)! This attachment features knives that cut through icy snow, smooth everything out, and lay fresh track. After Monday’s wet, heavy snowfall, our groomers will be out today (Tuesday) and tomorrow (Wednesday) rolling and setting tracks to keep conditions in top shape.
There is a great base everywhere on the trail. Below are details on trail conditions.
Ski Conditions
Dune Climb to Empire: great base, will be track setting and rolling will be happening tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.
Dune Climb to Glen Arbor: great base, track and rolling will be finished by Tuesday afternoon.
Dune Climb Sledding: Conditions look great for sledding! We recommend wear YakTracks or bringing poles as the parking lots and surrounding areas are very icy.
Big thanks to our dedicated trail grooming crew! #sleepingbear #snowphotos #crosscountry #SkiMichigan❄️ Snow Report ❄️

FROM Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes >> ❄️ Weekend Snow Report ❄️
Our crews were out this week maintaining and re-grooming several sections of the trail. On Thursday, the sun came out, and we experienced a slight warm-up, leading to slushy conditions. Thankfully, there’s still a solid base, and with freezing temperatures returning, conditions this weekend will be good but a bit icy.
Get ready to enjoy a beautiful winter weekend out on the trails! Below are details on trail conditions. @LeelanauConservancy is grooming Palmer Woods and you can check out their snow reports on their Faceboook page.
Ski Conditions
Dune Climb to Empire: 6 inch base, good track set and rolled, icy conditions because of freezing temperatures. (Note: we do not groom Pierce Stocking drive, Pierce Stocking is open to cross country skiing and snowshoeing and not groomed.)
Dune Climb to Glen Arbor: 2-4 inch base, good track set and rolled, icy conditions because of freezing temperatures.
Dune Climb Sledding: Conditions look great for sledding! The snow is very packed down and slick. We recommend wearing YakTracks or bringing poles as the parking lots and surrounding areas are very icy. #sleepingbear #snowphotos❄️ Weekend Snow Report ❄️
