SUNNY DAY OF WARM RIDING CONDITIONS!
Overall Trails were grooming out nice last night and in Very Good condition. We have a warm spell passing through again today. Get out and enjoy some great mid-season riding conditions. We do have a few trouble spots with one being the Trail 419 creek crossing between Munising and Wetmore. Water Hazards on Trail 418 are gone now but there is still a depression at the West hole location (marked with stop and stop ahead signs). Keep a close eye on trail conditions as you ride and stay right. Stay tuned for updates!
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails – 2/7
Another run last night found a little help from mother nature as we were graced with a little fresh snow! Conditions remain great with a warmup coming. Expecting the trail to hold well, but will get rough as the snow gets wet. We will be watching conditions and grooming accordingly.
We should be able to continue grooming, but if conditions are not cool enough at night, we may have to park the groomer. Our operators know the trail well and will be making the call if needed. Rest assured, they will get it back to great as fast as they can. These guys always do great work! Ride right and ride safe!

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Hamilton's North Coast Adventures >> Riding across the Ontonagon River bridge on trail 12 is a sight to behold! You soar 80 feet above the river on a dedicated section for motorized vehicles to use, how awesome is that?! It's one of the tightest groomer sections we have that provides very little margin for error. It's also a great view of Lake Superior, the Trapp hills to the south, and really lets you know how pro-snowmobile Ontonagon is. It's a tremendous destination full of amazing eateries like Up north cafe (best pancakes on planet earth), Syl's Restaurant, GiGi's Coffee and Sandwiches, Connie's Coffee and Subs, and of course the famous Roxey's Bar and Grill! What's your favorite stop for food in Ontonagon? #ontonagon #westernup#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
