Albert Einstein once said, “Buying skis before winter is the smartest thing I ever did.”
While it remains a mystery why ol’ Al would have said this, especially considering all of the really smart things he did in his life, we can only guess that it was because of the incredibly good inventory and prices one can find when shopping the Cross Country Ski Headquarters Pre-Season Sale.
I don’t believe you.
Fine, smarty pants. You win, he probably didn’t actually say that. But that doesn’t mean it’s not an ingenious idea to shop for skis like RIGHT NOW.
What’s the rush?
Oh, just a little thing called SELECTION. Right now, we have the absolute best selection of the year on all 2017 cross country skis, boots, clothing and accessories. Also, it’s all on sale. That’s right, grandma. We’re talking 20-40% off this year’s cross country ski packages, like the amazing new Atomic Motion Skintec ski package – finally, mohair skin technology on a sport recreational ski!
The entire package on sale for $342.93 (29% off list!)
Do you like paying for shipping?
We didn’t think so. That’s why we’re offering FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $199. Shop your little fingertips off at our online store, or call your friends at 1.800.832.2663 to shop over the phone and/or fill us in on your life. We’d love to hear from you.
But I want to see you in person!
Us too! We are open when we’re at the shop getting ready for our official season opening on October 29th (we are around most weekdays throughout September and October), but you should call 1.800.832.2663 to make sure we’re there when you want to come shop. Usually you can call the day of and we’ll be able to meet you at the Headquarters, but at least a day’s notice is always helpful. You will likely have the store to yourself, and you will get all the personal help with shopping that you could ever need, or not need. Or need not. Etc.
Should I make an afternoon of it?
You said it, boss. Bring your mountain bike or running/hiking shoes and hit the beautifully mowed XC Ski HQ trails! They are cleared and in excellent shape for you. Stop in and try Nordic Ski Walking poles, Classic All Terrain Skis, or roller skis at no charge.
Fall is just starting to creep in on the Manitou Trail!
Till we meet again!

The Leelanau Harvest Tour is a great biking adventure for both families and single riders as the fall colors begin to show and temperatures begin to cool. Leaving from the Suttons Bay High School, routes of approximately 20, 40, 65, and 100 miles wind throughout beautiful Leelanau County on excellent paved roads passing by farms, orchards, vineyards, dunes, and through quaint villages. So come, ride, relax, and enjoy all that this beautiful peninsula has to offer.
Four Beautiful Routes
After nine miles on the Leelanau Trail, the 20 mile route follows the east side of South Lake Leelanau then returns to the Trail to finish in Suttons Bay. Being mostly flat this is an ideal route for younger riders.
The 40 mile route begins the same as the short route then continues north along the east side of both North and South Lake Leelanau and passes though the village of Lake Leelanau before returning to Suttons Bay via the Leelanau Trail from Dumas Rd.
After leaving the Leelanau Trail 10.5 miles south of Suttons Bay, the 65 mile route heads west through Maple City, north around Little Traverse Lake, through Lake Leelanau, up the east side of North Lake Leelanau and then over Herman Hill to the finish.
The 100 mile route extends the 65 mile route north to the Grand Traverse Lighthouse at the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula and the village of Northport with more hills and scenic views.

Welcome to the 39th Annual Bessemer Pumpkin Festival.
ALL EVENTS ARE STILL TENTATIVE AND MAY CHANGE
The Bessemer Pumpkinfest Committee is proud to sponsor this year’s event where you’ll find activities for the entire family.
Festivities begin Thursday evening, September 28, with the “Business After 5” social at the Pit Stop Bar & Grill. This event is co-sponsored by the First National Bank of Bessemer, The Leather & Gift Shop, & Pit Stop Bar & Grill. Also starting Thursday evening are the 50/50 raffle & poker run, and geo-caching.
The Bessemer Historical Society opens its doors from 1 – 4 p.m. on Friday and 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Saturday. Stop by and see the many displays depicting Bessemer’s history and heritage
On Friday evening from 6 to 11 p.m., we are offering FREE carnival rides for all ages, food, & games. There’ll be “dancin in the streets,” at least on Sophie Street, from 7 – 10 p.m. with music provided by a local DJ.
If you’re looking for some adventure, take the short drive to Copper Peak and enjoy their Adventure Ride. They will be open from 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. all weekend. Also, helicopter rides will be taking off from the field east of Steiger’s Home Center from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday.
The Poker Run begins on Friday with drawings at midnight on Friday & Saturday at the Pit Stop Bar & Grill.
On Saturday, September 30, begin your day with a hearty Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast at the St. Sebastian School (regular pancakes are available too). The St. Sebastian Knights of Columbus fire up the griddle from 7 – 11 a.m.
After breakfast, the entire family can spend the day downtown with special activities for kids (and adults who want to act like kids). Vendor and food booths will be all along Sophie Street from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with entertainment throughout the day.
Sophie Street activities include a costume kiddies parade, carnival, ventriloquist Dave Parker and Skippy performances, balloon characters and face painting by Happy Dayz the Clown & Twinklz, pumpkin bowling, pony rides and petting zoo, and a number of contests.
