Munising Area Trail Report – 02/28
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA – 02/28 TRAIL REPORT – Sunday, 2-28-2021 GOOD TRAILS – GROOMING CHALLENGE! No new snow with Operators reporting fair grooming results for some good, yet early, late season riding conditions. Our Trail System in in Overall Good to Fair condition, staying fairly flat through the day with little chop developing and some icy corners. The warm sunny weather Saturday hit Trail 8 hard from Shingleton North for about 5 miles, it is in fair condition with bare patches, thin and very dirty snow. In the towns and along highways you will be finding dirty snow and bare spots. We continue to Help our Neighbors to the East, grooming East on Trail 8 from the Bear Trap intersection to the Trail 43 intersection. Again decent grooming results and on the return trip we covered bare spots best we could on our section of Trail 8 closer to Shingleton. Grooming was a challenge with temps just below freezing and very high humidity. Snow would process ok with light cutting but every now and then we would find a warmer, wetter section of trail that would want to ball up and plug the groomer. In the end results were pretty good but it almost feels like season end conditions a few weeks early. Snow forecast for tomorrow so lets hope it is enough to buy us another few weeks of riding. Keep snow dancing, get out and ENJOY the Trails, Ride Safe and Stay Tuned for updates! DETAILED REPORT HERE: https://www.algersorva.com/trailreport/2-28-2021/ Update 9:10 am – Trail 7 south of Doe Lake Road has also taken a hit similar to Trail 8 North of Shingleton, bare and icy corners with bare sections further south toward CR440. Be sure to patronize and thank your Trail Sponsors! <> MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails – 02/25 A good stiff wind on Wednesday stacked up a lot of drifts on the side of the trail, we were able to add several inches to our base in many spots. Overall things are looking pretty good for Thursday. <> REGIONAL TRAIL REPORTS Visit Alger County SORVA Facebook Page >>>> <> Visit Alger County SORVA Trail Report >>>> <> Visit TNT Trenary Northern Trails Facebook Page >>>> <> MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> Another run last night as we start wrapping up the season. We are running minimal runs in order to keep the trail smooth and save the snow for the rest of the season. Trail is ice and is grooming out as such. We will keep doing the best we can with what we have to get through the end of the season. Ride right and ride safe! #munising #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Expect mostly dry weather today through Monday as a cold front exits the U.P. this morning.

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA >> Trail Report Posted - www.algersorva.com/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.

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 WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Mostly dry conditions save for pockets of drizzle are expected today behind this morning's wintry mix. Most should warm into the 40s. 2 more waves moves through this weekend, providing a snow to rain transition Saturday and then snow Sunday. For both, precipitation amounts are expected to be light. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #sooMostly dry conditions save for pockets of drizzle are expected today behind this morning's wintry mix.
