Grand Marais Trail Report – 02/16
GRAND MARAIS UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. – 2/16 From Phil on the West run this morning-Out on trail 89 this morning. Getting it done GRAND MARAIS UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. – 2/15 From Phil on the West trail overnight-Monday February 14th trail report for what the groomer drivers call the ‘west run’. Trails 8, 89 and 88 "the grade" towards M77. All trails have a soft base, with plenty of new fresh fluff 4+ inches. It snowed the whole Monday run. Nothing, terrible to mention….. With plenty of new snow everything groomed out as expected. Great February trail conditions. I moved out of the area so, I’ve been absent from grooming with the GM Sno-trails club, I’ll be around as a fill in driver as needed… Phil <> <> Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> High pressure will gradually build into the region today and Thursday. This will slowly diminish lake effect snow showers from west to east. It will also help usher in a warm and mostly dry period. Most can expect above freezing temperatures during the day and below freezing temperatures overnight into at least early next week. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaHigh pressure will gradually build into the region today and Thursday.

Here’s a current look at Trail 498 coming into Windy Corners — fresh snow and ready for riders.
Heading north for the long holiday weekend?
Where will you be riding from? ⬇️
Wherever the trails take you, ride right and be safe. #newberry #snowphotos
Few snow flakes in the air
We have a ton of snow on the ground. Trails are excellent
This weekend will be Busy for sure.
Some warm temps coming in the 30s it looks like. Our snow won’t melt in a few days so don’t be thinking that
If town gets melted down and hard to navigate we have all kinds of parking out back. Trailer up for the day and go ride!! No overnight parking or long term parking
We have a few more weeks of winter left up here at least come enjoy it!! #newberry #snowphotos
Overnight wet snow and light freezing rain could lead to some slick roads this morning!
Lake effect snow showers and gusty winds could lead to some rapidly changing visibility on the roads through tonight, especially close to Lake Superior and in the Keweenaw.
Late this week, temperatures warm up, including multiple freeze-thaw cycles. Lake ice may become hazardous! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaKey Messages:

25 degrees this morning with a light snow falling. We`ve received a couple inches in the last few days but nothing to brag about. We have been in a deep freeze for about a month now, but it looks like its gonna warm up a bit for the foreseeable future into the upper 20`s to low 30`s for highs and upper teens to low 20`s at night.
I haven`t been on here much cause nothing has changed....all our trails are in GREAT SHAPE!!!!! I will be on here more often now as this warmer weather comes along to keep ya`ll informed more. As long as it gets below freezing at night I don`t see much of a problem for a while but the warmer days will start hurting our swamp areas....but thats what I`m here for....to keep ya`s informed!!
COME ON U.P.!!!!!!! The riding is premo!!!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ill keep you posted.
9:10PM
Man, kinda scared to say this out loud but Tucker, Drag, Snow and I are, like one with one another tonight, we can't not leave a ribbin! (So far)
Anyway, 10.5 to Second stop sign, not workin it as hard as Saturday night, not having to dig as deep to shave it under all the damage and leave it flat, warmer snow is flowing very well.
No pics yet, your just going to have to trust me, that's all, keep you posted.
11:19pm
In and outta Windy Corners, almost perfect, last pic right now is where I
nose dived it ( ya I told ya, gotta be honest with all of it right? ) coming in across the drifted plains section after the woods, incidentally where I decided no more blade in the drifted plains sections, some situations require pulling things through rather than pushing them here, as well in life I'm finding.
Anyway, we're pointed north, its 11:26:on a week night, dead zone with these things for a bit, I'll be back sooner or later, not cold a bit and the cruise is working perfectly, I'm going to use it awhile now 😁 #newberry #snowphotos
WOW last time I've seen jumps this large was large was on the X Games
from Colorado a week or so back!!
Was pondering how many sleds it takes to destroy this trail like this basically in a day... how many may have cut through for the race, how many beds are filled in Newberry, Lots of time to ponder such things out here.
We need a counter devise of some sort for weekends anyway... if you see a black tube stretched across the trail one of these day soon, think nothing of it 😉
Lots if work ahead, I'll keep you posted.
No pics yet, that IS THE second Stop sighn! 🤣
8AM On the Money!
Just turning south at the Pine Stump intersection, did you see that moon last night!"🌗
If you rode 9 yesterday you know it needed help desperately, corners North of Windy Corners were pretty out of control, spent ALOT of time on almost all the problem child's 😉
Back to Lots of room when I make this final lap.
Must've been very busy yesterday, Windy Corners has been worse, just looked like heavy through traffic.
Gettin her back to where we want it.
I'll check back after while.
