GEAR UP
ki season means equipment. And repairs. Maybe even lessons. There’s ski edge sharpening, waxing, binding and boot repairs, plus much more to keep you slick and safe on the slopes. Northwest Lower Michigan offers a host of local businesses designed to provide ski season tune-ups to get your gear in tip-top shape. Tuning professionals will sharpen ski edges and ensure there’s no rust
or gouges from the prior season and subsequent summer storage. Additionally, bindings and boots can be damaged, so checking that bindings are secure and tight will help foster safety on the ski hills. If you haven’t got any ski equipment, there are plenty of places to rent gear for a day on the slopes. This can be valuable both for infrequent skiers and those who wish to test drive equipment before
19 19 investing in their own gear. Finally, those who want to brush up on their downhill skills or learn how to master the skis versus gravity game can enroll in ski lessons, available at many local ski resorts or city recreation departments. Lessons are offered by Nub’s Nob and Boyne Highlands, both in Harbor Springs, Boyne Mountain in Boyne Falls and Mount McSauba in Charlevoix.

Silent sports
Cross country skis and snowshoes offer an opportunity to set your own pace in Michigan’s winter wonderland The silent sports of winter — cross country skiing and snowshoeing — land its aficionados smack in the middle of snow-covered wilderness, activities that take advantage of winter’s stillness. These winter sports involve less impact on skeletal joints and to a great degree, minimal impact to the environment. Woods and waters best left quiet can be enjoyed at a leisurely pace by both beginners and advanced cross country skiers and snowshoers. Trails abound to offer soft, snowy settings or more challenging routes for the selfpropelled wintertime woodsy folks. Most trails are available to both cross country skiers and those who use snowshoes, unless marked otherwise. If new to these silent winter sports, please note that it is considered common courtesy for snowshoers to avoid the cross country ski tracks in the snow, sharing the trail without marring the set tracks.

A
large trail network across Northern Michigan provides ample opportunities to ride snowmobiles through some of the most beautiful places in the region. Local snowmobile clubs and state trail groomers keep conditions ideal when the snow falls, allowing both residents and tourists to sled through woods and snowy open spaces, riding along trails that meander from town to town. For those using Petoskey as a starting point, a popular trail is the Chandler Hills loop. This scenic path should take about four hours, heading south to the Sturgeon River and Vanderbilt areas. The loop also connects to trails that go to Wolverine and Indian River. For those who use Charlevoix or East Jordan as a launch spot, there is a trail between the two cities that offers a quick and easy day trip option. Those in East Jordan, though, have easy access to the Jordan River Valley. The valley features pristine and beautiful trails cut through the 18,000-acre state forest, alongside scenic views of the Jordan River and Jordan River National Fish Hatchery. The hatchery offers public restrooms and warming facility. Snowmobile riders based in Harbor Springs have three nearby options. Those new to snowmobile riding may want to try the Alanson to Mackinaw City trail and back. It’s an old railroad grade that parallels U.S. 31. East of Pleasantview Road is a loop to Alanson and Pellston, with rentals and fuel near the Harbor Springs airport. West of Pleasantview Road is a trail leading to Larks Lake. Local snowmobile clubs and associations also accept donations for continued trail grooming expenses. Directly contact the organizations to make a financial contribution.

ust because the traditional growing season is long gone doesn’t mean farm fresh foods are, too. Numerous local communities play host to wintertime farmers markets, a growing trend as area food producers extend their seasons by experimenting with hoop houses, greenhouses and other growing techniques. Shoppers will this winter find fresh produce, organic meats and cheeses, homemade baked goods and other items from local farmers in Boyne City, Charlevoix, East Jordan, Harbor Springs and Petoskey.
East Jordan’s winter farmers market is from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on the second Thursday of the month from December through April, at the East Jordan Community Center, formerly known as the Civic Center. (231) 5367351
