Straits Area Trail Report – 03/01
STRAITS AREA UPDATE via Straits Area Snowmobile Club >> 03/01 Saturday March 1st St ignace area did not get the snow that was forecasted yesterday. Yes you still can ride from there this weekend but it does have a few thin spots for the first couple miles. I wouldn’t stop from riding because it quickly gets better as you go north. It has all been groomed. The south loop is in good condition as you head towards cut river and the Trout Lake area received 4 inches of snow on top of a good base and was also groomed last night. We will hold onto theses conditions for the next few days and then make changes to our report as needed. Thank you <> <> Straits Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Active weather is expected for the remainder of the work week.
