Munising Area Trail Report – 12/25
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA – 12/25 Merry Christmas If you got out and rode I am sure you are happy. More warm temps on the way. This weekend we most likely wont be grooming if the prediction holds. Maybe some colder temps in the evenings will allow grooming. We will make that decision nightly based on conditions. We can do more harm than good to the base we have if we go out. New Years Day on it looks like temps settle back in to being colder. If folks are really interested in getting on our list of potential groomers, please send your contact info to algersorva@gmail.com. Name, Phone, Email, and Address where you live. We currently have a good group of drivers this season. We can not tolerate operators not following some basic rules and causing damage to the tractors or drags. We have GPS trackers along with forward and rear facing cameras that record when impacts are detected. We also have a Groomer Responsibility Committee. They review incidents and make recommendations to the Groomer Coordinator. This process keeps things fair for all involved. It is all about protecting the equipment! <> <> REGIONAL TRAIL REPORTS Visit Alger County SORVA Facebook Page >>>> <> Visit Alger County SORVA Trail Report >>>> <> Visit TNT Trenary Northern Trails Facebook Page >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A high impact winter storm is set to impact the U.P. tonight through tomorrow.

We have been grooming every night. We still have a good base and most of the trails are in great shape. The low traffic the last couple of days sure helps. You will see in the pictures just how smooth the trails are even before we groom them. At times we have felt like we have groomed trails that don’t need to be. We hear complaints from people and we go out and see this and are left wondering what people are expecting. We know 8 North between the Bears Den in Shingleton and the Beartrap gets bad quick. We have been hitting this trail 2x a day. It got to a point where the snow was not bonding (sugar snow). We got a couple of inches of fresh snow and some higher temps a few days ago. It has locked up nicely.Alger County Sorva on Facebook

Important update: Trends in storm track have resulted in a southeast shift of the heaviest snowfall axis. Areas of 1 to 2 feet will be common from the high terrain of the central UP eastward along and north of M-28.
Strong northerly winds may result in downed trees and power outages. Please take extreme caution if you must travel over the next 24 hours. Stay safe! Check in on your neighbors!

A major winter storm is expected to bring significant snowfall to portions of the region. Most of the accumulating snow will be along and north of I-80. No matter how much snow will fall, there will be strong northwest winds that will create blowing and drifting snow. Travel north of I-80 will be near impossible at times. Some road closures are possible along and north of I-90 given greater accumulation and more persistent blizzard-like conditions. Heaviest snowfall totals through sunrise Tuesday (there will be more after) will be along Lake Superior. Snowfall rates could exceed 2" an hour at times due to lake enhancement. Expect over a foot in most areas along the lakeshore before dropping as you get closer to the WI border. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey~OUTDATED~
