Munising Area Trail Report – 02/04
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> 02/04
We are still helping out our neighbors to the east. Made another run for them and us last night. We groomed trail 8 to m94, 7 up to Christmas, 417 up to the Brownstone, and 418 over to AuTrain, then back on 8 down to Rumely. The new snow is really helping the trail. No grooming is being done on 418 west of the Brownstone yet due to lack of snow. We will continue to help out S.O.R.V.A. as long as we have people to operate the groomer. This has been our greatest task this year. Getting help. Anyone interested in learning how to groom, we could use more people. As always, ride right, ha e fun, and be safe out there.

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Fletchy’s Pictured Rocks Resort >> 02/04
That’s cabin #1 on the bayside in Grand Marais, Mr.Johnson the longtime logger in town said there would be days like these. He can remember in 1971 the snowmobiles were driving over the roof tops all year.

The Bison is in the groomer barn with the John Deere 6175.
Both are being worked on side by side.
So far it looks like the Deere is going to be back up before the Bison.
We are doing all we can to ensure we are getting these groomers back on the trail ASAP. The trails have been holding up and our neighbor clubs are going above and beyond. TNT, Big Bay De Noc, Schoolcraft…… we owe you several beers at least.
Sorry no real trail pictures – the groomers are slacking on sending in pictures. I can share pictures of piles of parts and tools but will spare you.

GWINN AREA UPDATE via Forsyth Snowmobile and ATV Club >> Trail update for Gwinn area, Central Upper Peninsula. Our town is in need of snow, took a ride East over towards Alger County and they definitely have more snow over that way. Buckhorn area was smooth all the way down south and across over to Big Springs area. Big Springs area north had some small rocks on the trail and once we got by the Jack Pine Trails were good again. Came through shingleton and quite the snow storm at 6:00 on Saturday evening. Unfortunately the snow didn't come to our town.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Lake effect snow showers will continue in the northwest wind snowbelts this morning and then begin to shift north and offshore this afternoon into the evening as winds become southwesterly. Additional snowfall of up to an inch in the west and 1 to 3 inches in the east can be expected. A round of light snow is possible on Monday into Monday night with temperatures moderating through mid-week. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaLake effect snow showers will continue in the northwest wind snowbelts this morning and then begin to shift north and offshore this afternoon into the evening as winds become southwesterly.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Here is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.
Uncertainty exists primarily in our trace-1" category which extends from Frankfort and Alpena south to I-96/I-69. The clipper moving through today may produce a quick squall of rain & snow with minimal accumulation some time beyond 1 pm EST, but models haven't determined if this band will solidify or not. If it does, the chance for a rain/snow mix exists in areas highlighted in the pink dashed box. This rain/snow mix would only be today. Any snow on Sunday will be lake effect off of Lake Superior, hence why our highest totals of 4-8" are located east of Munising over to Paradise. Not too impactful of a system in terms of Michigander standards, but do take it slow if you encounter any snow squalls and/or visibly slick roads. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyHere is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.

A snow squall. Maybe that’s what we had going on in Wakefield today. It was nuts!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Another system brings a quick round of light to moderate snowfall late tonight into early Saturday. A widespread 1-3 inches of snow is expected, possibly locally higher up to 3-4in in the eastern UP.
