MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> 01/03
With a whole lot of luck and a few “very interesting” moments. We were able to get the 2 spots that we avoided previously, all set and taken care of. Trail 8 was set up well and should make for great riding into the week. We were also able to widen the trail in some areas that were drifted heavily. Also, after grooming was completed in Chatham last night, a group of riders took it upon themselves to trespass onto private property adjacent to the trail. Just plain stupid when I could follow the tracks back to their rental. I messaged the place just to find out they left this morning. Not only is this reckless behavior absurdly stupid, it makes it hard for us to get permissions for more trails after people hear the horror stories of these blatant acts of idiocy. Ride right and ride safe

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA >> 01/03
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> 01/03
We are making good progress on the trail and groomed from end to end tonight with the exception of a couple spots that we will hit Saturday to punch our way through without the drag along for the first pass and plowing some snow into a pesky wet area that plagues us early on every year.
We still have a couple areas where heavy drifting has the trail a little narrow untill the Temps warm a little and the snow firms up enough to widen it without sinking to the bottom.
For the most part things are shaping up well and conditions are good for laying down a nice smooth trail. We can’t forget to thank our great local supporter Laurie for stopping out with a bag of goodies to help us through the night.
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A storm system will quickly move through the area late this afternoon and tonight bringing accumulating snow to all of the U.P. Heavy snowfall rates and low visibilities could create difficult travel for a few hours. Snow ends by the Monday morning commute but roads may still be slippery. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea... See MoreSee Less

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Light snowfall across the area eventually dwindles away to pure lake effect over the northwest wind snow belts of the eastern U.P. tonight. Attention then turns to a quick hitting system Sunday evening/night. Heavy snowfall rates and low visibilities could create very difficult travel for a hour or two underneath the heavy snow. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaLight snowfall across the area eventually dwindles away to pure lake effect over the northwest wind snow belts of the eastern U.P. tonight.
