Welcome to Big M

We are a premier cross country ski area in the heart of the Manistee National Forest near Wellston MI. Our trails are classic trails that are narrow and wind through the mature hardwoods and pines of the Manistee National Forest.
Big M is maintained entirely by volunteers and funded with your contributions. We work in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, but receive no financial help from them.
Please click over to the donation page to help us continue to provide  you with wonderful skiing.

New this year!

We have a new groomer, funded with your contributions.
We invested in a Ginzu groomer which can grind up icy snow and re-lay it (providing there is enough base snow). 

The Manistee Non-Motorized Trail Park

is a ski trail on M55 just east of Manistee. It is tracked for skating and classic skiing and offers mountain biking in the summer months. Fat tire bikes are welcome in the skating lanes.
