PETOSKEY AREA UPDATE via Petoskey Snowmobile and ORV Club >> Trails groomed tonight by Shane and Joe. If the weather warms above 30 degrees we won't groom until it cools down. The drag can chunk the trail leaving behind large snow balls that freeze and can hurt someone. We will be back out as soon as it gets cold again. #petoskeyTrails groomed tonight by Shane and Joe.

Munising Area Trail Report – 12/05

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA >> 12/05

Trail Report –

Things are setting up nice. we have been getting steady snow.
We still have open swamps and water holes.

Shingleton – Trail 8 – packed in the swamp yesterday. It is already pretty solid. We expect it to be locked up nice for this weekend. Still use caution in this area. There is an alternate spur you can go out to H15 (road) and skip the swamp section.

419 behind Munising to Christmas – This swamp area is still open.

We will get in there over the weekend to see if we can get a groomer thru there. That swamp has eaten groomers in the past and we have to be sure before bringing equipment back in there.

Over all the rest of the trails are in great shape. Very low traffic. We have been working on clearing trees. It seems like another storm hits just as we get them all cleared. Groomers are out where and when it makes sense. We have been going out during the day due to the tree clearing. It has been slow going. This is dangerous work and we do all we can to be safe. We don’t want any one getting hurt. We have been dealing with some sketchy hangers and leaners. Feel free to take a chainsaw with you and cut any trees you come across. Please cut back beyond the ditch line or edge of trail. We don’t want to leave any sitting on the side of the trail for the groomer to find. Great early season riding.

Posting some pictures from trail 8 Shingleton heading North.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> This is the earliest we were able to successfully pan the whole trail since we have started grooming. Brandon was able to get almost everything relatively smooth. We need a little more snow to fill the ditch and freeze in the hole along CO RD 456. But the rest of the trail is in rideable early season shape. This year is shaping up to be far better than the last 2 years for snowfall in our area. With luck, we can have a successful season and with your help, we can keep it a safe one also. Please ride with caution and please ride safe all year! #munising #snowphotos ... See MoreSee Less
