North Trail #9 Pine Stump Jct./Seney/Grand Marais Trail is groomed to Holland Lake staging area and is in good condition.

Trail #45 to the Falls/Paradise Trail WARNING ! There are 2 large water holes on the trail have been filled in and hope they will stay this way but with the warm weather and lack of snow please be careful on this trail and go slow in these areas. The first one is 2 miles in of M-123 and the other one is 8 miles in from M-123. This trail is groomed just north of County Road 500 to the large swamp and is in good condition. The swamp is not frozen enough for the groomer. Please be cautious in this area to the falls. Logging operation from Skyline road to past Laurel Lake Road. Please watch out for logging trucks.

South Trail #9/2 to Epoufette/Trout Lake Trail is in good condition and is groomed to Epoufette. We groomed to Trout Lake last night but groomer went thru the ice so WARNING there is a large water hole between H-40 and Huckleberry Rd. Signs at being posted today Yield/Wet area please slow down.

The forecast is for more snow and cold weather by end of the week.

Hell week was just that, but not because of traffic, it was the yo-yo weather and conditions. Overall we have only groomed a few times this season due to the lack of snow, and warm temp – but believe it or not we are still in pretty darn good shape.

As of today we have no major issues to report across any of our 101 miles of trail. Things are thin and soft, but snow covered. Things are mostly flat, but enough to cover the rocks. It did get warm enough to melt a little yesterday and last night again – things are soft today, but the bottom is supposed to drop out of the temps this afternoon, and we will be in the teens until next week. That will freeze in a near perfect trail base (if we can keep the darn 4x4s off) and we will be sitting ready for that next snowfall.

We will need 3-6″ of system snow and we will go from poor- to near excellent conditions overnight. For now, I keep our rating at poor to reflect the very thin base, and icy conditions. The forecast is calling for a ton of lake effect in surrounding areas – which typically only tease us, so I don’t see our conditions changing much. Some variation on the winds may give us a nice surprise though.

I do have a bit of trail candy for you, this is yesturday, just outside of Iggy on the RR Grade. Looking pretty decent!
