MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA >> 12/01
Trails are officially open.
Gates in Shingleton have been opened.
Gates in Chocolay will be open in the next couple of hours. We did a lot of work this fall getting the trails flat. Also extensive brushing and improved signing. Over the next couple of days we will be finishing up signing on miners castle trail which is open after being closed last year. You don’t realize how many signs are on a snowmobile trail until you spend a day with a post hole digger.
We saw a lot of rain for 2 days before the snow hit. No frost in the ground. Swamps are going to be wet. Temps are dropping and we are closely monitoring. Get those sleds out there and start packing in a base. We did some testing today and we created a muddy mess. Things should set up pretty nice looking at the weather guessers forecasted temps. We are off to a good start.
There is a significant difference in snow depth across our system. It seems like we saw more snow to the South. Closer to Lake Superior saw less. We saw some serious winds and have had folks out clearing down trees.
Ride with caution out there. Early Season Conditions.
