Newberry Trail Report – Visit Newberry – 01/14

Here are the latest reports that we have:

TASA – January 14, 2010 8:30 a.m.

We did not have any snow overnight but the trails are in great shape. All riders that are up are reporting great trails and are having lots of fun so come on up and join us!!! We are expecting some warmer weather this weekend that may effect the times we go out grooming. Hopefully this warm spell does not last long and we get more snow soon.

Trail #9 south to Hemlock Ridge road (trail 2) has a 1 -4 inch base and is in good condition.

Trail #9 north is in great condition. The base is 6 – 8 inches and riders are reporting great conditions and alot of snow on the ground.

Trail #45 North is in good 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. We were able to groom all the way to the falls and the trail is in very good shape.

Trail #2 to Rexton is in good 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 good condition.

Town trails are open and in great condition with a 2 – 4 inch base.

*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!!!

Grayling Trail Report – Fay’s Motel – 01/14

Greetings Sledders,

Let’s talk about the weather shall we.
I’d like to get into what I KNOW and what I THINK about the weather.

Here’s what I know for sure. I know the co-efficient of expansion and contraction of high density high molecular weight polyethylene and how to mathematically calculate that value.
Now here’s what I think. I think based on the 112th weather report that we’ve seen in the last 3 days that our trail system is going to go kaput by sometime this weekend. When exactly the kaputniss will reach it’s pinnacle depends on when the cloud cover goes away and the Sun goes on high beam, and I think that it will reach that point tomorrow afternoon and conditions will rapidly go south from that point in time.

TRAILS:
If you plan on riding the trail system anywhere from here to God knows where north of here call first and trust the person you’re talking to because this meltdown seems to be far reaching, can’t speak for other areas, just goes back to the 112th weather report deal mentioned earlier. Off trail will remain a viable here as far as we can tell which lends itself to the what I think part, also mentioned earlier.

GROOMING:
Today it became official, I’ve suspended grooming until further notice and I must say that our guys have done a tremendous job with what they’ve had to work with over the last four weeks. Sadly a grooming sabbatical is upon us which means we are now going into maintenance mode. No rest for the unpaid.

We’ll be back to you with another glowing report when there’s something glowing to report.

Ride Often and Please Be Safe,
Keith, Sandy and The Girls

The calculation is .00007 x the length x the delta T from 70 degrees F.

At Fay’s Motel enjoy direct access to the Grayling Area snowmobile trails.
