MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County Sorva – 3/13
Hello! Let me apologize for lack of reports over this past weekend. I can assure you we have been out grooming. Trail reports are being transitioned to new folks and should be back to normal this week.
We had a significant failure with our older drag that required extensive welding and fabrication. The entire wheel assembly that lifts the rear of the drag broke and twisted up. Hydro rams broken, steel twisted up like a pretzel. The team really came together to get the repairs completed.
Sending out a big THANK YOU to those who worked on this effort. From shuttling people back and forth between Chrismas and Shingleton, to running for parts in Marquette, to the welding and fabrication.
We are getting some new snow. Trails in town really need it. Over all things are holding up great once you get away from town. Still great late season riding.
More updates to come soon.
Stay Safe – Ride Right!

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails – 03/13
Pictures from the last 2 night. Saturday saw a short clean up run on our east end followed by a full run Sunday night to take advantage of our new snow. We are out right now grooming to get packed what we can before the warm up and rain later this week. Don’t be discouraged! The forecast for this weekend is looking like a good spring storm may happen! Last year, our last run was on the 14th. This year may go longer! If you want to take advantage of the longer riding season, U.P. Sunrise Cottages has openings this weekend and is right off the trail in Little Lake! https://bettertogetherrentals.com/
