Munising Area Trail Report – 12/25
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA – 12/25 Merry Christmas If you got out and rode I am sure you are happy. More warm temps on the way. This weekend we most likely wont be grooming if the prediction holds. Maybe some colder temps in the evenings will allow grooming. We will make that decision nightly based on conditions. We can do more harm than good to the base we have if we go out. New Years Day on it looks like temps settle back in to being colder. If folks are really interested in getting on our list of potential groomers, please send your contact info to algersorva@gmail.com. Name, Phone, Email, and Address where you live. We currently have a good group of drivers this season. We can not tolerate operators not following some basic rules and causing damage to the tractors or drags. We have GPS trackers along with forward and rear facing cameras that record when impacts are detected. We also have a Groomer Responsibility Committee. They review incidents and make recommendations to the Groomer Coordinator. This process keeps things fair for all involved. It is all about protecting the equipment! <> <> REGIONAL TRAIL REPORTS Visit Alger County SORVA Facebook Page >>>> <> Visit Alger County SORVA Trail Report >>>> <> Visit TNT Trenary Northern Trails Facebook Page >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Warm temperatures are expected today, especially over the interior west and central, before a cold front passing through mainly the eastern U.P. brings clouds and colder temperatures late this afternoon through tonight.

We have been grooming every night. We still have a good base and most of the trails are in great shape. The low traffic the last couple of days sure helps. You will see in the pictures just how smooth the trails are even before we groom them. At times we have felt like we have groomed trails that don’t need to be. We hear complaints from people and we go out and see this and are left wondering what people are expecting. We know 8 North between the Bears Den in Shingleton and the Beartrap gets bad quick. We have been hitting this trail 2x a day. It got to a point where the snow was not bonding (sugar snow). We got a couple of inches of fresh snow and some higher temps a few days ago. It has locked up nicely.Alger County Sorva on Facebook

Overnight wet snow and light freezing rain could lead to some slick roads this morning!
Lake effect snow showers and gusty winds could lead to some rapidly changing visibility on the roads through tonight, especially close to Lake Superior and in the Keweenaw.
Late this week, temperatures warm up, including multiple freeze-thaw cycles. Lake ice may become hazardous! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaKey Messages:
