Newberry Trail Report – 01/29

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump 01/29

Went for a little ride today

It’s like riding in late March

Trail 9 towards wolf inn Had good and bad spots but rideable

Trail 8 going towards grand marais was pretty good needs a groom when it freezes up

Riding north along 407 is doable. crappy like it usually gets.
The two tracks and fire lanes are really good. The deer park dog race is this weekend so use caution from cr410 to Lake Superior
I put about 60 miles on quick. I’m going again tomorrow.

If you want to go fast and 200 miles a day not your time. If you want to cruise around and enjoy yourself give it some consideration.

We had heavy traffic this weekend. People commented they appreciate the pictures and updates and they decided to take a chance.

NEGATIVE 2 degrees this morning and snowing. We picked up around 6" of snow yesterday and another 6 or so last night! It`s down right winter out der! All good news for yesterdays happenings so lets rock-n-roll.....
Groomer Mike C. took off in the morning and headed into da south swamp with just a machine. I took off with a machine and drag and headed south also but skipped the swamp section. Before I got done with the South trail #8, Mike radioed me and said hit the swamp with the drag on my way back. He got it packed in pretty good and it turned out good with the drag. It is only one lane for now but we`ll fix that tomorrow. THE GATES ARE NOW OPEN!!!!
After that Groomer Mike C. headed out on the Falls trail #45 with just the machine and Groomer Glenn pulling a drag following him. They got that trail packed in and groomed, it turned out great!!! Groomer Mike C. put in 12 hrs. in a machine yesterday filling and packing in water holes! Great job!!!
Today we are running the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 and the Point trails #452 & #453. Not sure what we are gonna do with the other machine.
So......total green flag for our entire trail system!!!! COME ON UP and enjoy our hard work!!!!!!

11 degrees this morning and snowing. I got a solid 3" on my deck from last night too! Just giving you a quick update before I head out da door to go grooming. I`ve got all good news so lets go.......
Groomers Mike C. and Glenn worked on our down machine all day yesterday and think they have it fixed! Seems to have been a sensor issue...darn electronics anywho. I am taking her out today and running the South trail #8. While I`m doing that, Groomer Mike C. is gonna go into the south swamp and see if he can get it packed in enough to send me thru with the drag on my way back! If all goes well we`ll have at least one lane groomed thru there and we can open the gates!!! When he gets done in there he will hit the Falls trail #45.
Groomer Keith hit the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 yesterday and rated them as good.
More good news.....Groomer Patrick ran the Point trails #452 & #453 and rated them as good to go. The water holes on the North section are froze in now!!!
So.....everythings good to go in PANR land!! Thank you Mother Nature!!!! COME ON UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harbor Springs Trail Report – 01/29

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club​ – 01/29

Unfortunately the warm weather & rain on Friday really took a toll on our trails, many spots are down to dirt while other areas are still holding a 4” base. We have paused grooming operations until we receive more snow.

The highs for this week are 36-38 degrees, but it does look like the cold is coming back Thursday night. The snowcast is showing 2” for tonight but that’s nowhere near enough. Start doing those snow dances.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Dangerous wind chills will be widespread today, especially this morning. Wind chills in the 20s below zero; some areas could feel as cold as -30F. This will be dangerous, as frostbite can develop in as little as 30 minutes on exposed skin. Limit time outdoors and dress in layers. Keep a winter weather survival kit in your vehicle in case you get stranded.
Gusty northwest winds plus continued powdery lake effect snow will lead to significant reductions in visibility with whiteouts at times through this afternoon, especially in open areas where snow can easily blow around. Dangerous travel conditions are expected, and wind chills well below zero will be even more problematic if you end up stranded on the road. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyDangerous wind chills will be widespread today, especially this morning.
