Munising Area Trail Report – 01/03
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> 01/03
With a whole lot of luck and a few “very interesting” moments. We were able to get the 2 spots that we avoided previously, all set and taken care of. Trail 8 was set up well and should make for great riding into the week. We were also able to widen the trail in some areas that were drifted heavily. Also, after grooming was completed in Chatham last night, a group of riders took it upon themselves to trespass onto private property adjacent to the trail. Just plain stupid when I could follow the tracks back to their rental. I messaged the place just to find out they left this morning. Not only is this reckless behavior absurdly stupid, it makes it hard for us to get permissions for more trails after people hear the horror stories of these blatant acts of idiocy. Ride right and ride safe

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> 01/03
We are making good progress on the trail and groomed from end to end tonight with the exception of a couple spots that we will hit Saturday to punch our way through without the drag along for the first pass and plowing some snow into a pesky wet area that plagues us early on every year.
We still have a couple areas where heavy drifting has the trail a little narrow untill the Temps warm a little and the snow firms up enough to widen it without sinking to the bottom.
For the most part things are shaping up well and conditions are good for laying down a nice smooth trail. We can’t forget to thank our great local supporter Laurie for stopping out with a bag of goodies to help us through the night.

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> We were able to get out for a short while last night. Trail is groomed from 417 to Rumley. Due to operator constraints, we were only able to make the partial run. It is an unfortunate reality we face as a volunteer organization. Between work and family obligations, we sometimes have small gaps in the schedule. Now that we have the trail set, we will be training in a couple more operators to help fill those gaps. A couple of our out of state operators will be back in the seat also! We are like every other club that does grooming. We are always looking for operators. If you have contacted us before and we didn’t get back to you, please feel free to reach out again. We didn’t forget about you. We just didnt have an opportunity to get you into training before the season ended. If anyone is interested in grooming, please send us a message! We will see what we can do to get you up in the seat!
Our repairs seem to have been successful and the snow is falling again! It does look like we have a small warm up coming soon, but it doesn’t look like it will stick around for any time. Sounds like results varied last night with a couple spots needing multiple passes to get back into rideable shape. It will definitely take a couple grooms with the hard base and fresh snow to get everything back to flat again. Ride right and ride safe! #munising #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Quieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning. A weak clipper system will bring another round of light snow tonight, but only expect another inch or so of accumulation in most locations. After another quiet day on Monday, another system brings a mix of rain and snow to the area on Tuesday. #miweather #keweenaw #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaQuieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Widespread snow will begin to spread west to east this morning while a heavier snowband looks to set up in the central UP this afternoon. Uncertainty still remains where this snowband will park, however, heavy snowfall rates will likely create difficult travel along US-41 from Delta to Marquette/Alger counties. Tonight, widespread snow transitions to lake effect snow for the north wind snowbelts.

WEATHER UPDATE via Pictured Rocks Marine Weather Conditions >> Here's the updated 24-hour snowfall forecast through 7am Sunday (top figure) compared to the same forecast from two days ago (bottom figure). No big changes for the UP, although a bit more snow is now forecast for the Keweenaw and central UP. Not a bad way to make up for the recent warmup! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
