WEST MICHIGAN — It's going to feel like "Spring skiing" at ski hills this weekend as sunshine and unseasonably warm air surges into the Great Lakes region
FOX 17 is your hub for ski conditions and snow reports.
These are conditions that were reported as of February 12, 2026. With the unseasonably warm air building over the weekend, conditions may change (especially for the terrain parks), so it's a good idea to check the website of the specific ski area you are planning to visit before heading out the door.
Unseasonably warm air is going to build into the Great Lakes region over the weekend as a huge pattern flip continues to push colder air into the Western United States, and warmer air to the Central and Eastern United States. With the unseasonably warm air building over the weekend, conditions may change (especially for the terrain parks), so it's a good idea to check the website of the specific ski area you are planning to visit before heading out the door. One important reminder: with sunshine in the forecast, make sure to use the sunscreen before your ski adventure!
The snow forecast isn't looking great for winter weather enthusiasts! A major system will pass well to our south later this weekend and is unlikely to cause impacts here. We are watching the mid-next week time frame for low pressure system, which would be the next chance for widespread precipitation. The track of the low will determine the type of precipitation expected, but right now it looks like all rain and temperatures in the upper 40s to possibly 50-degrees!
