St. Ignace Trail Report – 02/07

Cold snowy and beautiful! We got 3-4′ last night and still snowing. Trails are in very good to excellent condition with no problems to report. A very few minor rocks poking through in Moran, other then that our whole system is in good shape. Off trail has layers of new snow for some decent powder riding now (not a fantastic as Newberry, but still tons-o-fun).
Groomers are in good shape and running on a regular basis. Wayne is swapping #5 with Bob today to bring #6 in town for minor maintenance hopefully on Friday. Grooming will continue nightly through the weekend.

Ice Bridge:
There is now ice to Mackinac Island. 2 guys walked across finding 2-3′ on Monday. The first sleds crossed on Thursday. There is no tree line, and it is not considered safe at this time.

Pond Hockey:
The 7th year of the LaBatt Blue UP Pond Hockey Championships is on for Feb 15-17th, and will be held on the Bay downtown St. Ignace. Over 170 teams are signed up for the 2nd largest tourney in the country. 30 rinks are currently under construction. This year the beer/warming tent will be on the beach next to the bay to keep your feet try. Ice bowling and a bon fire between the tent and rinks give something for everyone to do. Live entertainment throughout the day. Hope to see you there!

Grayling Trail Report – Fay’s Motel – 02/07

Greetings Sledders,

Very simply put these are the best conditions that we’ve seen in a long ,long ,time. Before yesterday’s 3" we had plenty of snow to work with in terms of grooming and it looks as though we are in for another 5" or so tonight which is frosting on the cake.

For those of you who have read me over the years you know that I rarely use terms like "very good" and " awesome" when translating trail conditions to you and I avoid those terms because I think that the more you use them freely the less meaningful they become. The trails must be groomed and the base must be established before those terms can be applied and I do believe that we are at a "good" to "very good" status right now, and the really good news is that there doesn’t look to be a meltdown or other ailments in our immediate future.

Now’s the time to ride.

Ride Often and Please Be Safe,
Keith, Sandy and The Girls

At Fay’s Motel enjoy direct access to the Grayling Area snowmobile trails.
