Valley

Valley is a cross-country ski route in Michigan, about 0.3 miles from the community of Forbush Corner. It is an easy outing, with a total round-trip distance of about 0.38 miles and a flat profile that gains and loses about 9 feet. The route is short and low-lying, so it works well as a quick addition to a day on the snow. Winter is the natural season for this kind of skiing. Typical averages from the nearby Grayling weather station show January highs around 26°F with lows near 10°F, while March runs a bit milder at highs around 39°F.
