No significant changes from yesterday. Warm rainy weather still has grooming operations on hold with trails in an overall Fair condition. The main trails have fair snow cover but are choppy, soft and sugary. For those die hard riders expect thin areas with dirty snow, gravelly in areas with some icy inside corners. Road crossings and entering towns will have dirty snow and bare pavement. Keep a close eye on conditions as you ride and stay right. We have hazardous water holes on Trail 418 so ride and cross with extreme caution (Map in images showing locations). It is expected to have more wet spots develop with current weather conditions. Lets hope we get a significant amount of snow soon so we can rebuild the trail system.

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails – 01/15
It was a very busy Saturday with plenty of traffic around for the long weekend and the trail took a beating. Even after leaving two hours later than usual we ran into a lot of traffic still out enjoying the day.
We expect the west bound side of the trail to get bumpy fairly quickly as just about everyone we passed was happy to be able to get off the beat up side of trail and onto something flat, can’t blame them for that today but without any set up time and about 30 to 40 riders passing us it was already getting bumpy by our return trip. The rest of the trail.and the eastern end are in great shape for Sunday.

Warm rainy weather has grooming operations currently on hold with trails in an overall Fair condition. Traffic was up this weekend with warm temps, high winds and sun yesterday. The trails really took a hit losing some snow becoming choppy. The main trails have fair snow cover but soft and sugary.
For those die hard riders expect thin areas with dirty snow, gravelly in areas with some icy inside corners. Road crossings and entering towns will have dirty snow and bare pavement. Keep a close eye on conditions as you ride and stay right. We have hazardous water holes on Trail 418 so ride and cross with extreme caution (Map in images showing locations).
It is expected to have more wet spots develop with current weather conditions. With this years lower than normal snow conditions we are open to other snow making ideas, the dancing ain’t working too well…….
