Please be careful around curves. The weather has cooled down and there is some ice around the curves, and bare spots on the hills. We still have some snow on trails but it is getting thin in spots. We are adjusting the times we go out grooming. We are expecting snow and cold weather to move in starting tonight with 1 -3 inches overnight and 1-3 inches on Tuesday. We are grooming, although the snow is in granular icy form. Dave in groomer #11 went north on trail # 9, and Louis in groomer # 10 went North on trail #45 to the falls.

Trail #9 south to Hemlock Ridge road (trail 2) has a 0 -4 inch base and is in fair condition.

Trail #9 north is in fair condition. The base is 4 – 6 inches and riders are reporting Fair conditions, please watch for ice and dirt, especially on hills and around curves. There have been reports of some thin spots due to the warm weather.

Trail #45 North is in fair shape with a 4-6 inch base, but, there are 2 logging areas on it. One north, and one south, of the Skyline Trail Head. It is plowed and can be rough at times. There is very little snow on trail from 500 to the falls.

Trail #2 to Rexton is in fair condition with a 1 -3 inch base.

Trail #473 has about 7 miles of plowed road from Rexton south to Epoufette due to logging in the area. Please watch for trucks and deer in the area. The base is marginal to 3 inches and in fair condition.

Trail #473 Rexton to Trout lake has a 1 -3 inch base and is in fair condition. The groomer did break through the ice and there are some wet spots. We need more snow in this area.

Town trails are open and in poor condition with a 0-2 inch base. The ally is down to dirt.

*Please remember our groomers are out daily to keep the trails in the best shape they can be for your riding pleasure. Please keep a safe distance from the groomer if possible.*

We have updated the Newberry Village trail map. There are just a couple of changes from the last map. Look for our upcoming article in the February issue of the Michigan Snowmobiler Magazine.

THINK MORE SNOW!!!

Snowmobiling Update
Hello All,

Well, we had some rough weather over the past couple days with rain and sleet. Overall the trails took some damage but still remain very ridable. I would say Fair or a bit better as of right now. A little snow will help get them back into shape. The good news is it has now cooled off again and we are getting some light snow. More snow is expected all week as well.

Weather
We had some rain/sleet recently but it has now returned to cold and snowy. Snow is forecasted all week long.

Conditions
Fair currently. As soon as we get a few inches of snow the trails will be good to go again. Still very rideable just not as nice as they have been the past month or so.
