Good morning everyone! Sort of a tough night around here. Between the warm temps and a prolonged power outage, we have to regroup and reschedule some grooming.
As a result, we will have groomers out this morning and afternoon, which we know is not ideal, but our only option under the circumstances.
Power has been restored in the Soo, but word is that areas to our west and up to Paradise are without power as of right now at 8:15 AM.
If you are leaving out of the Soo, fill up in the Soo or at Bay Mart in Brimley (I called, they have power). I know Strongs is out of power, as well as at least one station near Paradise.
Cloverland Electric crews are amazing and doing all that they can to get the other areas restored.
Be safe out there everyone, and please watch for our groomers.
Affected areas- please comment when you are restored if you are seeing this.
Thank you!

Good morning!
Lane ran 472 west to Tilson Rd and made a huge improvement in this trail.
In a couple of weeks, we’ll finally be able to groom from there through 480 in the Spile Dam.
Please see the pinned posts for more info.
Thank you, Lane! Looking great! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0106b #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Warmer than normal temperatures are expected for the middle of the work week. A weak cold front will push some precipitation across the up this evening and tonight, with a wintry mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow possible. A quiet Wednesday and early Thursday then leads into some disturbed weather late Thursday into the weekend, beginning as some wintry mix over the south and east Thursday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaWarmer than normal temperatures are expected for the middle of the work week.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Fog is expected to develop tonight with patchy dense fog in the west. Freezing rain/drizzle is possible in the south around sunrise on Tuesday. A second round of light wintry mix is possible from west to east Tuesday afternoon and evening (20-40% chance). Dry weather with clearing skies on Wednesday as the UP warms up into the 30s. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaFog is expected to develop tonight with patchy dense fog in the west.

If you rode trail 49 from the Soo 12 mile prior to this week, you know what a night and day difference this is! Amazing!
Thanks to our operators who have been progressively grooming this trail. Really in nice shape now❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0106 #snowphotos
SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/5/26
This is wild to me! Dennis just got back from his run on trail 49 from the Soo to 12 mile. I ran this route with groomer Jay for several seasons. The branches being this low on 1/5 is nuts! This entire trail was brushed, but the base is so tall now that the machine is so much higher that it’s hitting the branches that couldn’t be reached in the fall. We don’t usually see this until mid February.
We may need to organize a work bee to do some in-season brushing. I’ll share if we do!
Thank you Dennis and Chris for the ride along! #soo #soo0105a #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A fast-moving system this evening through tonight brings 4 to 8 inches of snowfall to the area. Most snow will fall within a 6 hour period with moderate to heavy snow rates (0.5 to 1+ inch per hour) and quickly reduced visibilities down to 1/4 mile or less for a 2 to 4 hour period. Snow will end overnight into early Monday morning. The Monday morning commute could be impacted, especially in the east, mainly for roads that have not been treated/cleared yet.
Late Monday night into Tuesday brings a wintry mix which could create more slick road conditions. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea

Good evening!
Beautiful work by Warren out in the Raco and Brimley areas earlier!
He reports that trail 8 from Raco to Brimley, 480 to the Spile Dam turnaround, and the powerlines are great!
I agree!! ❄️❄️❄️
