Trail update
We received 4-5 inches of snow last night. Although there is plenty of snow in the woods we still have wet areas and thin spots in the open. Moran to St ignace is most of our problem area where we have cleared the downed trees just enough to get a sled through. We also have deep truck ruts coming out of St Ignace that has made for very rough ride in that area. Moran north to Trout lake is all decent at the moment. We have not groomed but the old base is still smooth and good to ride. If riding in the next couple days just expect late season conditions where you will find some excellent riding and some poor. Also be on the look out for downed trees. We will update one more time towards the end of the week.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
