Update: We have been grooming daily. The weather will be warmer during the week with temperatures im the low to mid thirties later in the week. A little snow is forecasted off and on with and inch here and there. The trails are setting up nice while grooming. They are a little soft here and there where the sun has been hitting during the day, but where the sun is not hitting they are harder. The conditions will good, but the corners will be a little softer and the heavily traveled areas will see a greater impact. We will groom daily/nightly with the exception of Wednesday. We will continue to put our best foot forward to keep things smooth out. They will harden up once the evening sets in with the temperatures at night to dip below freezing nightly. You may of encounter smooth sailing for a while and then got to a part where you thought what the heck happened here. It was not for lack of effort. The details for the trails are detailed below. We Take Pride in Your Ride!!

All the clubs will be grooming so please BEWARE of the groomers on the trails. We Take Pride in Your Ride, but we take just as much concern with your safety. Everyone is here for a fun time, but returning home to your families safely is just as important to us!

All three groomers will be out.

There is a staging area north of town at Silver Creek 3 miles north. This is crucial information especially with the amount of traffic this weekend. If you don’t want to get hemmed up in the parking lot in town. Go north after crossing the tracks and take a left at the Silver Creek ORV sign and go to the dead end. Plenty of room there!

A friendly reminder is slow down and stay to the right especially on the corners. Stay on the trail. Private property owners gives us the privilege to have trails across their property and we do not want to lose it. Normal grooming operations are in full swing.

TASA works mostly with volunteers. We have the best groomers in the U.P. They dedicate long hours and nights away from their families to groom the trails so you can enjoy them safely. Please be cautious as you approach a groomer as there is not much room for them and you so please slow down and once there is room then go around them. It is always appreciated when you can tip your hat to them and thank them for their efforts or give them a wave. Be Safe out there and take time to enjoy nature and the best scenery the U.P has to offer.

Grayling Trail Report – Fay’s Motel – 01/21

Greetings Sledders,

The crazy train finally slowed down enough for me to safely jump off and find the time to set down and write a report. Part of the delay is attributed to waiting for information from my esteemed contact within the National Guard with regard to a possible trail closure due to a military training event currently underway at Camp Grayling. I am happy to report that the trail to Lovells which is the one affected by training at MPRC 30 will not be shutdown this week. This is a 10 day exercise and I will keep you updated as info flows to me.

We had many positive comments about the condition of our trails and about all of the efforts of the groomer drivers over the course of last weekend. Thanks to all of you that passed on kudos and I will be sure to let the guys know at our weekly scheduling meeting on Wed. I would also like to pass on a thanks to the understanding sledders that I talked to regarding the now infamous water holes on trail #47 behind the fairgrounds. The holes have gotten worse and are to a point that after breaking a drag axle we shut down grooming on that 1.5 mile stretch until a fix is put into place. This is something that we’ve been working on with the DNR over the last few days and are currently waiting for approval to proceed. I will keep you updated on that deal as well.

The trails are currently in good condition overall with the usual suspects showing signs of wear and tear, those being trail #7 South of 72 and the segment from M-93 North to Frederic. Those segments are the I-75 of trails around here and they get a ton of traffic and some portions may be in fair shape.

We have a mixed bag of weather coming with a couple of inches of snow late Wednesday and into Thursday and temps that will be above freezing. We can always use the replenishing snows but could do without the temps. You can always give us a call as we get closer to the weekend and we will let you know if the temps are having an impact,

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