GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> 01/11

Just another quick head up. I will be grooming and trimming back the brush today/tonight on 443 and 88. I will start the trimming again on 443 about 1.5 miles north of the intersection of 88. Then I will be heading westbound on 88 trying to trim/cut back as much as possible. I will have groomer Alex out with me, so hopefully we can make faster progress. I will continue to pull off to the side of the trail as much as I can to allow safe passage by and not interrupt your riding enjoyment!! Thank you all for your patience and understanding. I will see ya’s on the trails! Ride safe, ride right.

GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> 01/10

Just a quick heads up sledders. I am grooming 443 from 8 down to the bra tree, and 88 from 443 to the park and ride. I will be trying to trim branches and such as much as possible I will try to leave as much “passing” room as I can, and I will be out of the groomer a lot.

Thanks to you all. Ride right, ride safe!!!
Trail Boss Al.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Light snowfall across the area eventually dwindles away to pure lake effect over the northwest wind snow belts of the eastern U.P. tonight. Attention then turns to a quick hitting system Sunday evening/night.

This should have been our sign to turn around back to grand marais. We went around it and had to deal with the drifted plains part of the trail the rest of the way to Pinestump.

Check your Groomer Tracker App for updates. All roadside trails near town have now been set, but it is early with minimal base so ride with caution. #grandmarais #newberry ... See MoreSee Less

Jordan Valley Area Trail Report – 01/11

JORDAN VALLEY AREA UPDATE via Jordan Valley Trails Council – 01/11

Some pictures from grooming this week

Overall trails are in fair shape, covered but thin. Our guys did some measurements and there is 1-4” on entire trail system. 131 is thin in spots the entire way. #trail4 toward EJ is the thinnest section of trail we have closer to town, but it’s rideable. Corners are bare in the bottom, random super thin patch in the heavy canopy areas. Much of the roughness is ultimately the underlying ground and frozen ground beneath the snow. Logging is still taking place in the North 10, be cautious as we’ve had reports of limbs and brush in the trails. Trail 766 is CLOSED but we are still working with the DNR and ACRC on an acceptable resolution to get it opened back up, soon ultimately we need more snow in there regardless.

Our volunteers have been out doing what they can with current conditions. Mid week grooming with continue to be groomed as snow and conditions warrant, every other day roughly and we’ll be out on the weekends. It’s forecasted for 6-10” early next week which will whiten things up but not add much to the trail. The new snow will work well as we don’t have much dirt and sand mixed into what’s on the trail thankfully. Stay tuned for further updates from our groomers through the week.

Shout out to all our volunteers for devotion grooming and hitting the trails on sleds to check current conditions as well as our friends down at Kalkaska County Sand and Snow – KCSAS as there are many phone calls with them on conditions.

Be sure to check out our snowmobile clubs and go support them. Antrim County Snowmobile Club has a sled raffle going on as well as their clubhouse is open on Saturdays. East Jordan Trailblazers have their Sunday Breakfast all season long as well as a club raffle. They are the core of our organization and we can’t thank them enough!
