Near the Tawases, the Corsair Ski Trails are nestled in the beautiful Silver Valley area, surrounded by the 120,000 acre Huron National Forest. The Corsair system is one of the largest groomed trail networks in Michigan. The 56 kilometers of interconnecting trails cross forest and meadows, hills and valleys. They take you through sunny open vistas, into hushed stands of sweet-smelling fir and towering hardwoods, and along the edge of winding ice-locked streams.

Nearby, the Highbanks is one of the most scenic trail routes in the Midwest. Backcountry ski touring is very enjoyable here because of the exceptional natural beauty of the Highbanks setting. The ungroomed trail follows a high bluff overlooking the historic AuSable River Valley, and the views are unparalleled. From such sacramental spots as Iargo Springs or Lumbermen’s Monument, you can see clear across Michigan’s most famous river valley and watch snow storms advancing 20 miles away.

Visit our warming cabin for a well deserved and welcome respite after an invigorating day of skiing.
