MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails – 03/29
As it sits, the 2 day grooming extension granted by the DNR to all eligible clubs, does not help our club as our permits and our agreements end on the 31st. I cannot guarantee that landowners will keep the gates open, but I can guarantee that if people do not respect the stay on trail signs, any possibility of the property owners keeping the gates open after the season will never happen again. Ride smart, ride right, and ride safe!

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County Sorva – 03/29
GROOMING UPDATE – DNR ALLOWS EXTENDING GROOMING – thru this weekend. We are getting some snow today. (inch or two) More hitting this evening. Weather guessers are saying anywhere from 1 to 10 inches. Ha Time will tell…. We will be grooming when and where it makes sense. Low traffic this time of year. The trails really hold up. You just have to be prepared to ride some asphalt and a little dirt here and there. Mainly going in to town or gas stations. If this predicted storm pans out it should make for some great late season trail riding. Trails are being reported as flat and good late season conditions. Watch for hidden treasures as the melt down has exposed some obstacles. 417 – good shape staying flat. Grooming 418 West towards AuTrain and 417 Junction – Low to no snow – gravel in areas. Not being groomed. Water Holes. 419 between Wetmore and Munising -Low snow no longer being groomed 8 North of Shingleton -Low snow in areas. Use caution in swamp areas. Grooming 8 7/8 8 – Still a good base and has been grooming out nice. Grooming 7 North – Little thin closer to xmas. Grooming 7 South – Still holding up. Further south closer to 440 you might hear some gravel. Grooming 422 Miners – H58 road section is bare pavement.
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> The week starts out dry today with temperatures climbing above freezing across the UP. The next system brings a mix of rain and snow on Tuesday before temperatures turn sharply colder Tuesday night, followed by a round of potentially heavy lake effect snow in the north wind snow belts on Wednesday. Quieter weather on Thursday then gives way to another chance of snow with the next system on Friday. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaThe week starts out dry today with temperatures climbing above freezing across the UP.

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> We were able to get out for a short while last night. Trail is groomed from 417 to Rumley. Due to operator constraints, we were only able to make the partial run. It is an unfortunate reality we face as a volunteer organization. Between work and family obligations, we sometimes have small gaps in the schedule. Now that we have the trail set, we will be training in a couple more operators to help fill those gaps. A couple of our out of state operators will be back in the seat also! We are like every other club that does grooming. We are always looking for operators. If you have contacted us before and we didn’t get back to you, please feel free to reach out again. We didn’t forget about you. We just didnt have an opportunity to get you into training before the season ended. If anyone is interested in grooming, please send us a message! We will see what we can do to get you up in the seat! Our repairs seem to have been successful and the snow is falling again! It does look like we have a small warm up coming soon, but it doesn’t look like it will stick around for any time. Sounds like results varied last night with a couple spots needing multiple passes to get back into rideable shape. It will definitely take a couple grooms with the hard base and fresh snow to get everything back to flat again. Ride right and ride safe! #munising#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Quieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning. A weak clipper system will bring another round of light snow tonight, but only expect another inch or so of accumulation in most locations. After another quiet day on Monday, another system brings a mix of rain and snow to the area on Tuesday. #miweather #keweenaw#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaQuieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning.
