Things have been pretty quiet around here in the weather department. The last few days have been bright and sunny, ahhh… picture perfect winter days in Grand Marais.

Several locals have been out taking advantage of the break in the weather taking pictures. Check them out on Grand Marais Michigan facebook page.

This is a wonderful time to ride and enjoy all the natural beauty out there! After a month of heavy snow and wind it is nice to warm your face in the sun. Sure kicked in my spring fever but it isn’t over yet. The trails are all in great shape, hard packed, flat and smooth with less traffic! It doesn’t get any better than this. Come on UP and enjoy.

Rating? EXCELLENT in the woods, Good in town!
Base? 1 to 2 feet!
On the ground? 3-5 feet! More on its way!
