 .................... CLICK ON THE PHOTO FOR THE CURRENT SKIING CONDITIONS .................... .......(and scroll down to the bottom of this page to see recent photos of actual trail conditions)....... Sorry - DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED on the groomed ski trails at Corsair, Silver Valley, and Wright’s Lake. Please leave your pets at home for the safety and enjoyment of all skiers. Other skiers will not share your affection for your pet because dogs commonly disturb and harass wildlife, bark at other approaching skiers, mess up groomed tracks, and leave excrement on trails that fouls ski bottoms and trail grooming equipment. The Highbanks Trail, located 4 miles west of the Corsair Trails - at the end of Monument Road, is an ungroomed skiing and snowshoeing trail were pets are welcome.   ......

Grooming Equipment for All Snow Conditions ;void(0)) The Corsair Trail Council owns a complete selection of trail grooming equipment that can create trails in light snow conditions or heavy deep powder. Jody Smith is one of our experienced groomer operators and uses either the Skandic snowmobile or TrackTruck snowcat to pull the YTS Roller/Compactor, Tidd-Tech Trail Tenderizer, 84" Ginzu Groomer, or LatuExpert tiller. The groomer operators often have to use a chainsaw to clear freshly fallen trees off the trail. Occasionally, while you are comfortably sleeping at night, they are kneeling or laying in cold snow and darkness repairing broken equipment in the remote areas of the trail. All of this is funded by YOUR financial contribution. Be a good sport and donate monies each time you ski to keep the Corsair Trail Council operating. We do not receive any tax dollars or grant monies for trail grooming or equipment acquisition. You are our only source of funding. Click on the photo to see a larger image. Well Groomed Tracks ;void(0)) We use a state-of-the-art 84" Ginzu Groomer to snowcomb and set double tracks on all of our trails. With 33 miles of trails to groom, this is a very time consuming job. We can only travel at a maximum speed of 3 to 5 mph. Do the math on that! Would you have the patience to do this grooming job?

We haven't had this much snowfall on the ski trails in years. Today we had both groomers in operation, packing and setting tracks. Deep snow requires a lot of work and additional expense to groom. Considering the enjoyment that you receive from a day on the well-groomed Corsair trail system, please drop a contribution in the trail head donation tube each time you ski. The Corsair Trail Council is a volunteer non-profit organization, but they have ever-rising costs of basic needs like fuel, insurance, repairs and grooming equipment. These bills have to get paid with dollars. | Return Home | Clothing & Outerwear | Footwear | Kayaking & Canoeing | Hiking & Backpacking | Tawas Bird & Nature Observation | AuSable River Fly Fishing | Cross Country Skiing | Corsair Ski Trail Conditions | Events Schedule | Links | Contact Us | TONY TRISCHKA | |
