MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA – 01/31
TRAIL REPORT-Sunday, 1/31/2021 NEW SNOW NEEDED!
No new snow with trails in overall Good groomed conditions. We have Good riding conditions but snow is soft so ribbons are not holding long, we still really need a good heavy snowfall to help bind things up. There is a fair amount of snowmobile traffic and we are seeing signs of the snow getting tired. Our Dubie Groomers have their wings working overtime keeping what snow we have pulled back into the trails. North of Shingleton was flattened out but hard and thin with little to work with closer to Shingleton, expect to see some gravel mix in areas. Some tight corners are getting icy throughout our area so ride with caution. Trail 422 has vehicles still driving on Miners Castle Road. Trail 419 between Munising and Wetmore is rough with a challenging creek crossing and no snow to work with, ride with caution. Please respect residential property owners and STAY ON THE TRAIL, No Snowmobile Signs mean just that. Please continue the snow dances and Stay Tuned for updates!

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails – 02/01
Again with no new snow, things are really getting thin on the trail. Many areas are getting dirty. We are not grooming everyday right now because the snow is getting over processed and beginning to turn to sugar in some spots. We will be grooming from Chatham to 417, but we are taking a break from Chatham to Gwinn, untill we get more snow. Hopefully that will be Thursday with 3″-6″ expected. Pray for more snow so we can do a better job. We really need at least a foot more to really make a difference. Hope everyone understands. This is not a normal year for snow. Stay safe out there, and ride right.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Wednesday, March 25th, 2026, is here.
