St. Ignace Trail Report – 02/18
Things are getting back to normal. We got a good 3-4′ last night and both of the groomers were out. That is the first time in a month that both of our machines were running at the same time. Why? If you haven’t heard, it is easier to check out crazy problems we have had.
Have I said trails are in fantastic shape? Tons of base, crazy amount of off trail snow to play in, and the ice bridge is open to Mackinac Island.
This weeks forecast is showing that Thursday will be the first time this year that we are above 30d. It will not hurt anything at all, but I would plan on riding around Thursday as they are predicting a mix of rain and snow. We are running the groomers on Thursday night and will get the soft snow squished down for the Friday freeze and will be ROCKING for the weekend. Both machines will be running and I see no reason that trails will not be fantastic.
Base: 17 inches
Snowfall Past 24 hours: 3 inches
Last Grooming: Every other weekday, and all Weekend.
Current Trail Conditions: Good to Excellent
This weekend is Jr pond hockey. That means all the hotels with pools will be tough to get into for this weekend with all the kids. Last weekend featured a record breaking tournament for the LaBatte Blue UP Pond Hockey Championship, (did I mention my team repeated as Ice Bowling Champs!?). The weekend of March 1, it the newly expanded Ice Chip Golf Scramble. Why not play a golf tournament under the shadow of the Mackinac Bridge!!
