MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA – 01/09

TRAIL REPORT – Saturday, 1-9-2021
STILL NO CHANGES and NO NEW SNOW
So far 2021 is off to a bad start for us who enjoy the snow, no new snowfall for over a week now and still none in the 5 Day forecast. Maybe late next week we will see some if we are lucky. At least the ground is staying frozen with daytime temperatures hovering around freezing. Overall Trails in across our system are Poor with dirty snow and rocky patches. Grooming operations will remain on hold until we see a substantial snowfall. Please hope for the best and continue the snow dances. Stay Tuned for updates with this crazy season!

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Wednesday, March 25th, 2026, is here. To be honest, it's almost copy and paste of Tuesday with snow passing by up north again, but today features warmer temperatures for almost the entire state. As you can see, high temperatures in the 50s and 60s will be on display for everyone minus the eastern UP and northern LP.... #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyWednesday, March 25th, 2026, is here. To be honest, it's almost copy and paste of Tuesday with snow passing by up north again, but today features warmer temperatures for almost the entire state. As you can see, high temperatures in the 50s and 60s will be on display for everyone minus the eastern UP and northern LP. Partly cloudy skies south, while mostly cloudy skies and some isolated snow showers pass by to the north. Snowfall accumulations will be light and brief. Cold spot of the day will be Sault Ste. Marie at 34°F, while the warm spot of the day will be near New Buffalo in Berrien County at 69°F. A 35° swing from north to south. Winds will be gusting between 15-25 mph primarily across the Lower Peninsula today, with a few gusts to 35 mph possible along Lake Michigan. Small craft, take note.

Our eyes will be on tomorrow as a larger temperature gradient is possible, plus the chance at late afternoon severe weather for southern Michigan. Details to come in future updates, follow along! You can also check them out early on our Patreon page, or check back here in a little bit for the same information. Link to our Patreon can be found under the LinkTree link in our page bio. Stay cool and collected out there today, and we will see you back here in a bit for more forecast posts.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> After a quiet and sunny afternoon, expect increasing clouds tonight ahead of a quick batch of light snow showers late tonight into Tuesday morning. While much of the UP picks up an inch or less of snow, higher totals up to 1-3in will be possible over the far eastern UP.

Munising Area Trail Report – 01/01

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA – 01/01

TRAIL REPORT – Friday 1/1/2021
HAPPY NEW YEAR! NO NEW SNOW
No new snowfall over the last few days. Night before last we had a 3 to to 4 light inches fall so yesterday we sent both machines out for their first real run of the season. Conditions alternated between Poor to Fair as we crossed bands created by the lake-effect snow. The best we had measured was 4 inches of groomed trail base on a hard frozen ground. About 50 percent of what we panned did have rocks exposed, especially to the south of Buckhorn Road and west of Trail 7 north. Trail 417 and Trail 418 near AuTrain and west are un-groomable and very rocky. We do not want to overwork the very thin base and create “dirty snow” as trails will not hold up on sunny days for the rest of the season. With that said, grooming operations will be on hold until we see a substantial snowfall. The next 5 days do not look promising with sunny days in the 30’s. Weather forecast changes day by day so all we can do is hope for the best and continue the snow dances. For now we will continue to polish up the groomers and maybe update some of the electronic amenities in our 7130. Stay Tuned!
