Trails are in good condition. Stan and Joe report good condition the farther North and West. Trail #45 to the Falls is in good condition. Thank you to Paradise groomers for there help getting from the falls to County Rd. 500, they reported no water holes. We did go South Monday, groomer Doug reported the trail is in good condition. Be careful on the corners as they may be icy.

Snow is expected today with up to 6" by Friday. Every bit helps.

There is logging on Trail #45 North of Skyline Dr. for 4 to 5 miles. There is also logging South of M-123 on Trail #45.

Logging on Trail #498 North of Co. Rd. 455, be careful in these areas, as the trail may be plowed.

It has come to my attention that there is no fuel symbol on the snowmobile trail map for the North Store. The North Store is located at Wolf Inn Jct. They are open from 9 A.M. to 9 P.M.

We need more snow! And cold weather.

The cerfew for the Village of Newberry is 11:00 P.M. until 7:00 A.M.

FYI: There will not be gas at Rainbow Lodge this year as they are closing for the winter. There is a gas pump logo on the trail map, but they will be CLOSED. The map is new for this year,and I recieved the information about Rainbow Lodge after the maps went to the printer.

FROM US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan – 1/17

Accumulating snow expected today

Low pressure over northern Illinois will strengthen as it moves into the southern Great Lakes today. Areas of light rain and light freezing rain will transition to all snow by late morning. The snow may become heavy at times during the afternoon…especially south of M-32 in northern lower Michigan. Several inches of snow are possible…resulting in roads becoming slick and snow covered. The snow will taper off this evening.

Tuesday Morning Snow and Trail Report….
by Heart Lake Resort on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 9:46am

Nothing has change from my last two reports in regards to trail conditions but we are just now (9:38 am) starting to get some snow. They are calling for it and it looks like this is the start of it. It was a bit warm yesterday, almost 32 degrees, but only for a short time during the day – the night temp was below freezing. It is now exactly 29.3 degrees here at Heart Lake Resort in Gaylord and the temps are slowly dropping. If we get this snow and then even more lake effect as forecasted, we could have 2 to 5 inches when it’s said and done – more would be nice! Not real specific I realize on amount, but I like seeing it on the ground before I report on it. Folks are still up here riding and this new snow will certainly make things better. As always, please feel free to give me a call if you need additional information and if you would, please share this report with your friends and have them ‘like us’ on Facebook. Thanks.
