Moonlight Ski/Bonfire Saturday, Jan. 7
This Saturday night the Keweenaw Nordic Ski Club will sponsor a moonlit ski followed by a bonfire at the Maasto Hiihto trails.
Meet at Tomasi Trailhead (adjacent to the Hancock DPW) at 6:30 for a guided ski. It’s an easy ski (20-30 minutes) from the trailhead to the Triangle where there will be a fire to warm up and socialize.
For those who know the way, the old trail through Tomasi’s fields will be track set; the new trail going along the creek is only rolled and somewhat bumpy. Old skis are advised as we’re still at very low snow conditions. Questions, call Arlyn at 487-9229.

Nordic Skiing in Full Swing in the Keweenaw
Dec. 26, 2011 – It hasn’t been a banner snow year – at least not yet – but there has been enough for the groomers to work their magic at Michigan Tech and at Swedetown. Both of these area Nordic centers report very good conditions with all trails open. That’s 30km at Swedetown and 24km at Michigan Tech.
The heavy, wet snow that came early in December allowed groomers to build a base that has lasted through several warm days. While the lake effect snows have yet to kick in, the area has had enough 2-3″ days to both build the base and provide a nice surface for skiers. Continue reading →
