Munising Area Trail Report – 01/21
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA – 01/21 TRAIL REPORT – Thursday, 01/21/2021 TRAILS COMING TOGETHER – NEED MORE SNOW! Grooming continued yesterday primarily starting to set Trail 7 South and Trail 422. Overall groomed trail conditions are good. Trail 7 heading South starts thinning South of Doe Lake Road. Trail 422 has vehicles still driving on Miners Castle Road and between M-28 and H-58 there are few large depressions. More snow is needed to fill in underlying trail defects in areas so keep an eye out for that surprise hole in the trail. No new snow last night but there are a few inches forecast daily over the next few days. 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!

However there will be a couple spots with a lot of water in that we will be avoiding with the groomer for now. They should be safe for a sled tho.
