MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA >> Trail Report Posted - www.algersorva.com/snowmobile-trail-report/ MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> A picture says a thousand words! Thank you Steve, Dean, and Brandon for getting your hands dirty with this 3 day repair marathon! Of course all of the parts didn’t come in for the front axle pivot, but we had enough parts to get us by until we get another window for a proper repair. With temps hovering in the low 30’s and the trail holding up amazingly well, we will probably hold off grooming until the temperature drops Friday. That will give us time to recover from working our normal jobs all day and putting in even more hours in the shop. I couldn’t be prouder of our team for doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done! Ride right and ride safe! #munising #snowphotosA picture says a thousand words!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Today, the morning fog and freezing drizzle will give way to a quiet but warmer than normal day. Fog returns tonight, though the weather remains quiet until a system passes south of the UP Thursday afternoon, bringing a wintry mix of rain, freezing rain, and snow to the UP, though the heaviest rain will fall along the Lake Michigan shores. Once this round of precip wraps up Friday afternoon, attention then turns to the potential for weekend snowfall, though plenty of scenarios are still possible, so those with weekend plans sensitive to winter weather should monitor the forecast. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaToday, the morning fog and freezing drizzle will give way to a quiet but warmer than normal day.

Grooming started yesterday with Trail 8 from 7 miles North of Shingleton West to Trail 417 and Trail 7 North into Christmas have been groomed. Overall groomed trail conditions are good. A little more snow is needed to fill in underlying trail defects in areas so keep an eye out for that surprise hole in the trail. Ungroomed areas have snow and are fair. Grooming continues and we will keep you posted as setting of additional trails is completed. Last night we received another 4 to 5 inches of new snow. We still have the daily few inches of snow in the forecast though today has high winds – lets hope trees are not coming down. If out riding please avoid hard throttle starts and digging holes so we can build a clean flat base that will hold. Note that Trail 417 will be rocky and needs much more snow before it can be set. Please be patient as it will take a few days to get these trail setting grooming runs completed. Continue the snow dances and Stay Tuned for updates!Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
