Munising Area Trail Report – 02/22
TRAIL REPORT: 6:00 p.m. Monday, February 22
Temp 29 degrees and cloudy.
Daytime groomers reported:
* Trail 8, Trail 422 to Miner’s Castle and Trail 7 South to CR440 are in good condition.
* Trail 419 from Trail 8 North into Wetmore is fair to good.
From Wetmore it is good along M-28 to poor in the hills (corners are dug out with rocks being exposed in some areas) to good as you approach Munising.
From Munising to Christmas it goes from fair to good after the first few miles (corners dug out with rocks being exposed in some areas).
*Trail 7 from Christmas South to Ridge Road is good to fair (corners dug out with rocks being exposed in some areas).
The remainder of Trail 7 South to the Trail 8 intersection is good.
Overall the main trails are in very good condition. The trails in the hills are on a lower end condition due to the lack of fresh snow. Corners have been filled in but the snow is not packing so traffic will be deteriorating their condition rather quickly.
Night time Grooming Plan:
Pisten Bully: Trail 7 South from Christmas to Trail 8, West to Campground Road then returning East on Trail 8 to Trail 419 and Wetmore.
John Deere: Trail 8 to Trail 7 South to CR440 and return. (tentative – will update this post)
Snow forecast over the next few days but no measurable amounts given, lets keep hoping for more.
Enjoy your riding and be safe!

UPDATE: 6:00 am Monday, February 22
Temp 19 degrees and cloudy.
Trails have improved from night time grooming with all of our section of Trail 8, Trail 422 to H-58 and Trail 7 North to Christmas getting (2) more groomer passes. Inspection of Trail 8 is showing a nice pack after last nights work. Hopefully we have fully recovered from this weekends warm weather after today’s grooming operations and what we have to work with.
Daytime Grooming operations:
Pisten Bully is currently running 419 up to Christmas then to finish cleaning-up the weekend moguling on the North end of Trail 7.
John Deere is heading out Trail 8 to Trail 422 and all the way up to Miner’s Castle.
Grooming Report 7:30 p.m. Sunday, February 21
Temp 21 degrees scattered snow showers.
Unfortunately no snow forecast in the near future.
Today’s grooming has trails in good condition with slight moguling left in some areas. Trail 7 for the last 2 1/2 miles toward Christmas is in fair condition, large moguls with standing water. Trail 8 was in good condition, better West and currently being finished up to and from the East and Shingleton.
Night grooming operations:
Pisten Bully currently heading Trail 419 South to Trail 8 West to Trail 7 North into Christmas and back the same route.
John Deere is again heading out 419 South to Trail 8 East to Shingleton, back to Trail 422 up to Miner’s Castle then back down to Trail 8 returning to Wetmore.
The Groomer Pilot team continues working hard at the slow process of trail restoration. The snow is grooming out in a dry, icy consistency not wanting to pack. These conditions are requiring multiple passes to completely clean-up and leave slight moguls in some areas because of limited base and lack of snow to work with.
Please be patient, Enjoy your riding and be safe!

Munising Trail Report. We have approximately 12-20 inches of snow for base on the ground; more in some spots and little less in others. Grooming has been resumed. Due to the recent warm temps and the rain we have had some damage to the trails, now that we have colder temps we are working to flatten the trails out again. We will keep you updated right here. Have a great day and happy trails…………
