WATCH FOR ICE ON THE TRAILS, CORNERS CAN BE DANGEROUS

USE CAUTION!!!

We would like to thank the Seney Groomers for helping us out up north and to the west, as they were grooming from the Seney Split, Trail #9 and Trail #431 to Pine Stump.

The Groomer demonstration show is here in Newberry this Saturday, so if you get a chance, stop by and check out the different groomers that are used to groom trails all over the State. They will be in Zellar Meadows where the snow cross track is.

We are grooming . We got about 7" of snow last night and everything is white out on the trails, it is beautiful out there. Watch for groomers on the trail, as we will be grooming day and night to keep the trails flat. Please watch for updates as the groomers come in I will update with a more accurate trail report

All trails are in fair to good condition. We are going to have colder temperatures for the next few days. The trails are icy. BE CAREFUL!!

Trail #9 north from the Seney cu toff to Pine Stump is in fair to good condition, Trail south of Seney cutoff is in good condition and icy, More snow as you go north and west.

Trail #45 is being groomed at this time.

The Trail in town, and at the trail leaving the staging area is in good condition. You can now get on the trail right from town.

The Newberry trail 9 to Rexton is in fair condition.

Trail to Trout Lake is in poor condition.

The Trail to Epouffette is alson in poor condition.

Watch for logging trucks on all trails.

Snow Accumulation: 9 inches*

We woke up this morning to a beautiful light, fluffy snow covering of 3 to 4 inches and it is still snowing. Temperatures are hovering around 28 degrees. Yesterday was a different story. We were blanketed with a coating of ice on everything. Temperatures when up yesterday afternoon so some of the ice melted and some didn’t before temperatures dropped again. As a result, I would ride cautiously and expect to find ice under the new snow everywhere.

Snow Accumulation: 5.5 inches*

The groomers are going out on the forest trails today. There has been considerable sled traffic this week and we want to smooth the trails before the warm arrives as predicted for the next couple of days.

Snow Accumulation: 5.5 inches*

The groomers are parked again waiting for more snow. The trails in the forest are still in pretty good shape but you will want to use the staging areas to get to them. It won’t take much more snow to put the groomers back into action as long as temperatures stay down. Sadly, it is March and we can expect just about anything.

For forest access to our trail system, use the following Staging Areas:

Cadillac West Area: 33 Rd, 27 Rd (both off M55 W)

Caberfae Area: 13 Rd (off W M55)

Boon: By Boon Grocery*

Snow gauge located north of the 33 Rd Staging Area.
