Base: 4 inches
Current Trail Conditions: Good

Local residents know how quickly the weather can change here in Northern Michigan. After last week’s rain and warmer temps, we now are under a winter weather advisory for lake-effect snow. The area received an inch or two yesterday and the forecast is for another 2-4 inches today with significant blowing. If we get closer to four inches, that will ensure that the groomers can continue to make their rounds and keep the trails in tip-top shape. We were getting a little worried about the base getting too thin to effectively groom without churning up dirt and debris. This extra snow is just what we need. We will post an update as soon as the groomers have a chance to make another round and report on additional snow accumulation and trail conditions.

The Blue Bear is smooth but dirty. The new snow is covering it up though. There will not be a groom today on the bear,the new snow needs to be pushed down by the sleds for the best results. It will be groomed tomorrow,29dec09.

The Blue Bear is smooth but dirty. The color cannot be improved untill we get a significant snow.There is dirt showing in some corners,and other places its a nice white. We are only grooming every otherday (at least south of m 131)to help preserve what base we have,but if traffic becomes too heavy for this plan,daily grooms may resume.

Had some rain, freezing rain and warmer temps on Christmas Day. That all resulted in significant melting of the snow base in the area. Luckily, we had a pretty good base before this all happened but you will start to see some icy patches and possibly a little bit of dirt as we get into the weekend. The riding is still good as temperatures have dropped but just watch out for patches of ice.
