MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Munising Motor Sports >> Good morning y'all!!! Happy 2nd Day of Winter!!! We got a good 6 inches of snow since Saturday evening. Trails are good and groomed!!! Stop in and see us!! GWINN AREA UPDATE via Forsyth Snowmobile and ATV Club >> Trail update for Gwinn area, Central Upper Peninsula. Our town is in need of snow, took a ride East over towards Alger County and they definitely have more snow over that way. Buckhorn area was smooth all the way down south and across over to Big Springs area. Big Springs area north had some small rocks on the trail and once we got by the Jack Pine Trails were good again. Came through shingleton and quite the snow storm at 6:00 on Saturday evening. Unfortunately the snow didn't come to our town.

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

A picture is worth a thousand words. Videos even more so.
We have talked to many snowmobilers who have been happy with the early season riding given the minimal snow we have on the ground after that last meltdown.
We have a great staff of groomer operators and several new ones this year.
People are stepping up and getting involved. We appreciate everyone support. #munising #snowphotosTrail Report Posted

Uncertainty exists primarily in our trace-1" category which extends from Frankfort and Alpena south to I-96/I-69. The clipper moving through today may produce a quick squall of rain & snow with minimal accumulation some time beyond 1 pm EST, but models haven't determined if this band will solidify or not. If it does, the chance for a rain/snow mix exists in areas highlighted in the pink dashed box. This rain/snow mix would only be today. Any snow on Sunday will be lake effect off of Lake Superior, hence why our highest totals of 4-8" are located east of Munising over to Paradise. Not too impactful of a system in terms of Michigander standards, but do take it slow if you encounter any snow squalls and/or visibly slick roads. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyHere is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.
