Lapland Lake's location is 9 miles northwest of Northville with an elevation which is higher than Northville's by 600 - 800 feet. The daily forecast we provide in our Snow Condition Report is formulated based on the compilation of several reliable forecasting sources combined with our more than 30 years' experience living in this unique micro-climate.

Good to excellent conditions & 100% operation!  35km of trails are beautifully snowcat groomed with trackset and skating lanes.  Woods Lake is open for skiing but is ungroomed.  Surface is a power-tilled mixture of loose granular & corn snow.
