GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. – 02/20
Here are a few pics from Groomer Al, out on the trails the past couple days. We are doing our best with the conditions we have. There are dome dirt spots here and there on all of our groomed trails. The “outback” still has decent snow. If you enjoy riding, you can still get a lot of riding in. Most of the sledders I’ve talked with, are having a great time and glad they came to ride!

All routes groomed last night. Trails are developing thin spots. Town trail has deteriorated. There is plenty of snow in the woods. Trailering to the park and rides should be in your plans.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Halfway Lake Cottages, LLC >> When they closed the doctors offices last night because of conditions then we woke to about 6 inches of snow on top of ice, Chris decided to stay home. He spent 5 hours plowing then we went for a ride. We took 9 to Pine Stump and back and it was an amazing ride minus the sleeping child riding with me! We passed the groomer on the way there and on the way back! The picture of our backs is actually from the TASA page! Hey - it’s a family picture! 😂 #newberry #snowphotos
Oh how I miss seeing Tara and Stephen gilsdorf
You may have been one of the few groups I saw today. Pretty sure I saw you on 9 today. My favorite trail in Michigan but it has taken 5 of my helmets peaks this winter. I plan on doing some brushing this summer on 9.
NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Trails End Lodging >> TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association just came down 498 and is now headed back out towards Pine Stump!
Wherever the trail may take you, ride safe and ride right! #newberry #snowphotos
Sure wish I had someone to ride with but it’s always something with that guy
