MUNISING AREA UPDATE 12/16 via Alger County SORVA – Still only able to do trail preparation. Today trail 419 from Wetmore to 3 miles West of Munising was packed in including the infamous frog hollow swamp. Though we got more snow it’s barely enough to fill in the big holes. Snow cover varies so use caution when riding. The snow is very soft and many riders were seen getting stuck or tipping their sleds if they ventured off the packed trails….

Really coming down here again this morning! – Terrace Motel – 12/15 (See photos below)
Alger County SORVA – 12/14
Trail preparation is progressing and the trails are coming out nice. Big issue right now is the ground still not frozen. It’s making for time consuming work while panning as the wet snow snow is sticking to everything. It’s been in the low teens so lets hope these packed trails start to freeze in. Still estimating a week out before trails are good – provided more snow comes. Stay tuned for detailed updates.

WEATHER UPDATE via Pictured Rocks Marine Weather Conditions >> OK, here's the latest! Shown below is the expected 24-hour snowfall accumulation from 7pm today through 7pm Friday, along with the 24-hour snowfall from 7am Saturday through 7am Sunday. The 12-hour "gap" in between those two periods is the lull between the two waves of snow, when not much is expected to happen. And the snowmelt from the warm spell today should largely have ceased by then. More snow is also expected after 7am on Sunday and even into Monday, but it's a bit too early to call the snow amounts for that time period. Winter will not succumb to our brief warm spell! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey ...
