MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA – 01/01

TRAIL REPORT – Friday 1/1/2021
HAPPY NEW YEAR! NO NEW SNOW
No new snowfall over the last few days. Night before last we had a 3 to to 4 light inches fall so yesterday we sent both machines out for their first real run of the season. Conditions alternated between Poor to Fair as we crossed bands created by the lake-effect snow. The best we had measured was 4 inches of groomed trail base on a hard frozen ground. About 50 percent of what we panned did have rocks exposed, especially to the south of Buckhorn Road and west of Trail 7 north. Trail 417 and Trail 418 near AuTrain and west are un-groomable and very rocky. We do not want to overwork the very thin base and create “dirty snow” as trails will not hold up on sunny days for the rest of the season. With that said, grooming operations will be on hold until we see a substantial snowfall. The next 5 days do not look promising with sunny days in the 30’s. Weather forecast changes day by day so all we can do is hope for the best and continue the snow dances. For now we will continue to polish up the groomers and maybe update some of the electronic amenities in our 7130. Stay Tuned!

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A pair of systems will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the U.P. today into tonight. A clipper will spread a mix of rain, snow, and freezing rain across the area this morning, changing to all rain from west to east as temperatures climb above freezing in the afternoon, reaching as high as the mid 50s in the west. A cold front then drops across the U.P. and brings another round of mixed precip tonight, changing to all snow towards Sunday morning. Generally expect minimal snow amounts across most of the U.P., but some spots in the Keweenaw and the east could pick up 1-3” through Sunday morning. A glaze of ice will also be possible in a few spots this morning and again tonight. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA pair of systems will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the U.P. today into tonight.

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> The struggle is real! Alger SORVA pulled a day shift assist and smashed down our problem areas with the Bison today, but that didn’t stop us from getting into a bind with too much snow! The tunnel under 41 had a 3’ (settled height) drift down the entire length and it was too much to push through. We are close to the roof of the machine during normal operas we scrape it down close to the bottom. One of our operators threw his personal track loader on a trailer and came to the rescue. Between the track loader and the Deere, we were able to clear the tunnel out and get back to grooming. These guys go to all lengths to keep operations moving forward. #munising #snowphotos ...
