Saw multiple groomers and no complaints about the trails. Smooth as glass Sunday morning. My hat is off to you folks for keeping the many miles of trails in the shape you do. MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> Last night was a fun night with a little training, some drifting, and a murder burger from the Throttle in Little Lake! Lots of drifting on the east end last night and this morning. Good results grooming the entire length of the trail. Groomer will be out on the trail soon to clean up the drifts and make another run! General maintenance today went well with some of our operators getting involved and one of our new operators took the pole saw for a workout along Finn Spur, where the height of the snow and the tractor was putting us up in the canopy of the trees. It’s the little things that help out in the biggest ways. You don’t even have to be an operator to contribute! Ride right and ride safe! #munising #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Lake effect will continue today in the east while most of the region sees plenty of sunshine. Another round of light snow moves in tonight, but looks to exit by Sunday morning. Most of the region looks to warm to near or above freezing Monday and Tuesday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaLake effect will continue today in the east while most of the region sees plenty of sunshine.

In addition, slick roadways are possible in the wake of a round of patchy freezing drizzle this past night. This may lead to hazardous travel for the morning commute. While snow tapers off in the west and north-central by the afternoon, impacts continue in the east as lake effect persists the rest of today into tonight. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaStrong winds develop near Lake Superior this morning, resulting in blowing snow and reduced visibility in the western, north-central, and eastern UP.

Warm weather and heavy rain have destroyed our trail system with bare sections, standing and flowing water and very icy conditions now. Grooming operations have stopped with 75% of what little snow we had disappearing over the last 48 hours. Some of the trail base is holding across most of Trail 8 from Shingleton West, Trail 7 North, parts of Trail 417 and 418 but all with sections of standing water, ice and bare sections. As temperatures drop back down they are expected to become completely ice. Trail 418 has high flowing water just east of AuTrain. Conditions will be very hard on the sleds if you choose to go out there. There are a few weeks left of the season so if choosing to do so ride safe!
