Grand Marais Trail Report – 01/20

The words of the day – WINDY and very COLD. Layer up if you’re riding today. This Arctic Blast has dropped temperatures into the single digits to maybe a high of 15 degrees with wind chills in the -15 to -25 range, bringing another 5 to 9 inches of lake effect snow by tonight, another 5 to 8 tomorrow, with snow in the forecast for the next several days! Now this is winter in da UP, eh?!

As for the trails – tons of powder everywhere and drifts galore.
