Grand Marais Trail Report – 12/27

Update: so far, we’ve gotten 8 to 10 inches in town, I expect lots more on the trails. Lots of wet spots toward Paradise. Riders are saying it’s very wet and are having trouble keeping their shields clear w which doesn’t surprise me at 32°.

As of this morning the snow is falling and they’re calling for up to 6 inches by tonight. The trails are doing well and snowmobilers say it’s good. Quite frankly there just isn’t much snow to get bad, it’s hard to build moguls without a lot of snow. Check our website sno-trails.net

and go to our links page and make your reservations for the New Year. It is time to ride. Just remember I consider it still early season and you may find ice, water holes, and some bare spots here and there. Be very careful on ice and boondocking… Just saying!

Grand Marais Trail Report – 12/19

12/19/14 – Things may be looking up for the next week and beyond. John Dee is reporting a possible 4′ or more of wet heavy snow to fall in our area by Monday the 22nd. Then up to 5+ or more over the next few days in time for the Christmas weekend.

Unfortunately, it’s still supposed to be in the 30’s. After that it’s still a guessing game. We need a lot of repeated or consistent cold temperatures to freeze down those water holes.

We don’t have enough snow to push into them to help the process. Once we start getting measurable snow, we can get back to work prepping the base.

Until then the flags still fly red to yellow.
