Trail leaving town is looking a bit better today, still a lot of wet areas and poor trail conditions reported by groomers.
December 15, 2017
Snowmobile trails are officially open and we need more re snow.
North Trail #9 There is about 8 inches on the ground and over a foot at Pine Stump. There is a deep water hole between Co Rd 422 and School Bus Corner (Co Rd 455) which now has stop ahead and stop signs. The water was to the top of the tracks on the groomer last night.
Trail #45 This trail has 4 wet areas that the club members are trying to fill with snow and freeze. The two worst spots are located 2 miles in from M-123 and the other area past Skyline Road. You will find stop ahead and stops signs at these 2 locations. Please slow down on this trail due to the amount of rain we have received since September this trail has a lot of water. The gate at CR 500 is closed and will remain closed until we know that the swamp is safe to cross.
South Trail #9/2 This trail has 5 inches of snow on the ground.
FROM Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> Busy, busy busy. We have been brushing and grading, but today we got help from a couple of our local contractors. A bit thank you to Dave and Brett Dudnasky of Superior Excavating and Rich Williamson of M77 Redimix and Excavating for some heavy lifting. Flat dirt trails make for flat snowmobile trails. #grandmarais#newberry... See MoreSee Less
