MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA – 03/07
TRAIL REPORT – Sunday, 03-07-2021 FAIR TRAILS HANGING ON! No significant Changes. Groomer Operators reporting fair results with no new snow. We have a very hard light chop base with sugary snow and some icy corners. Most of our Trail System is in Overall Fair condition getting icy in sections under the soft snow and some outlying areas in poor condition. Trails give a deceiving look after grooming as we are only knocking the tops off of the small rock hard moguls. The ribbon left behind is blowing out after a few dozens sleds pass through getting back to a light chop. Trail 8 from Shingleton West to Trail 417 is a bit choppy in areas but fairly flat. Trail 417 to Brownstone Intersection and Trail 7 from 2 miles South of Christmas South to Buckhorn Road and Trail 418 are in Fair condition and a bit choppy. Trail 7 South of Doe Lake Road and Trail 419 from Wetmore to about 2 miles Northwest of Munising are in poor condition. In the towns and along highways you will be finding dirty snow and bare spots. Trail 8 North of Shingleton is fairly flat with some chop for 7 miles North of Shingleton. This section is listed as Poor due to being very thin for the first 4 miles heading North with a few bare patches and bare or icy corners. Unless we get a significant surprise snowfall the season is winding down. Day-by-Day changes this time of year so Keep snow dancing, get out and ENJOY what is left of the Trails, Ride Safe and Stay Tuned for updates!
