GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. – 12/03

Here is what we know…..there is a LOT of snow in da woods. Certainly a better problem than last year, but will take a few days for us to “get on top” of all this white gold. North, South and East got packed last night. We are attempting to groom West (H58) this morning with the goal of everything being groomed tomorrow night, first time.

Trails can be ridden. Water holes are still in process of freezing in.

Our base is time and materials. We have plenty of materials but need time to get a perfect base.

Ride smart….ride safe.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> 1-11-26
Around 4 inches of snow last night. I see the groomers all made it out. I would guess the trails should freeze up flat now.
I would imagine it will be lower traffic during the week. It would be a pretty good week to ride if you can sneak away! #newberry #snowphotos

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Quieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning. A weak clipper system will bring another round of light snow tonight, but only expect another inch or so of accumulation in most locations. After another quiet day on Monday, another system brings a mix of rain and snow to the area on Tuesday. #miweather #keweenaw #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaQuieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Widespread snow will begin to spread west to east this morning while a heavier snowband looks to set up in the central UP this afternoon. Uncertainty still remains where this snowband will park, however, heavy snowfall rates will likely create difficult travel along US-41 from Delta to Marquette/Alger counties. Tonight, widespread snow transitions to lake effect snow for the north wind snowbelts.

Jordan Valley Trail Report – 12/05

For riders headed this way today and through the weekend. Both the Antrim County Snowmobile Club and East Jordan Trailblazers lots will be plowed for parking as well as the Sand Lake Park and Ride. Groomers have been out this week and will continue through the weekend. Unfortunately Monday says 40* and rain, but we’ll access that when it comes.

Snowfall on our trail system still varies drastically as it does across the area. The concentration of snow is in the Alba/Mancelona/Starvation Lake/ Lakes of the North areas. As you go 25 miles in all directions the snow drastically drops off. While the overall snow totals so far are in the 24-36ā€+ range, that compacts to 2-4ā€ on the trail. Many of us have all asked for your help maintaining trails with your right thumb. Be vigilant, there can be and will be groomers on the trails 24 hours a day as snowfall and traffic and trail conditions warrant.
Please note 2 trail hazards:

*Trail 766 – 🚧🚨CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE🚨🚧. There are 2 projects underway on Jordan River Road removing culverts and bridges being installed. The original timeline was for them to be completed before December 1, but unfortunately that isn’t the case. Things are taking longer than expected, and we are being told possibly by the end of the month for one bridge and unknown timeframe on second bridge. More information on the project can be found here: https://www.rivercare.org/…/spanning-the-headwaters/

*Trail 76 – There will be logging activity on the central portion of the trail off Webster Road north of Elmira. We were notified Wednesday they were going to be moving into this section. Please be alert as there maybe debris, logging equipment in the trial, and unfavorable trail conditions. Unfortunately we were not given enough warning to try and mitigate the conflict with an alternate trail. This will be in effect for the entire snowmobile season.

Stay tuned here for any changes and updates to these projects as well as current trail conditions. If you encounter trail hazards please feel free to drop us a message or email jordanvallleytrailscouncil@gmail.com and our volunteers will promptly address issues.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Snow will diminish this morning, ending by early afternoon. Some parts in northeast lower and far eastern upper Michigan may break out into partial sunshine this afternoon. However, north-northwest to northwest winds today will remain brisk. Gusts to around 30 mph will be common. That will produce areas of blowing and drifting snow today, especially in places that are more open and exposed. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeySnow will diminish this morning, ending by early afternoon.
