MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA – 03/05
TRAIL REPORT – Friday, 03-05-2021 STILL FAIR TO BORDER-LINE GOOD TRAIL CONDITIONS! Groomer Operators reporting fair results with no new snow. Limited snow and recent warm weather this season has given us a very hard base covered with a thin layer of soft sugary snow and some icy corners. Most of our Trail System is in Overall Fair to almost Good condition with some outlying areas in poor condition. Trail 8 from Shingleton West to Trail 417 is our best stretch of trail. Trail 417 to Brownstone Intersection and Trail 7 from 2 miles South of Christmas South to Buckhorn Road and Trail 418 are in Fair condition and a bit choppy. Trail 8 from Shingleton North for about 5 miles, Trail 7 South of Doe Lake Road and Trail 419 from Wetmore to about 2 miles Northwest of Munising are in poor condition. In the towns and along highways you will be finding dirty snow and bare spots. We did our last grooming run covering for Seney last night with decent late season results. This is again East for 14 miles on Trail 8 from the Bear Trap intersection to the Trail 43 intersection. Day-by-Day changes this time of year so Keep snow dancing, get out and ENJOY what is left of the Trails, Ride Safe and Stay Tuned for updates!

It has been a weird winter as you well know. There has certainly been a few challenges with snow and mechanical issues, but we have given it our very best to give you the very best. It is certainly late season riding conditions. The staging area in town is dirt. The stretch from town up to the Silver Creek Staging area is thin and several dirt areas and one water spot.
We are losing the side of the road rather quickly. The trails are hard, flat and icy in the morning from the nights, but once the sun hits it they get soft and thin. Some of the corners are icy. We were able to get out after it cools down to scrap things back down and smooth it back out. It is barely hanging on. We will see temperatures warm up over the weekend to mid 30’s on Saturday 38 on Sunday and next week will be upper 30’s again.
We will groom as long as we can. How much longer that is is uncertain and we take it day by day currently. The temperatures will be in the 40’s next week. All the updates are below. Ride Right!! We hope you understand what we are dealing with because we appreciate you being here and supporting our local business! Getting in and out of town will be rough. We realize this could be the last weekend to attempt to ride for most. We Thank each and everyone of you for your support!!
Trail 45: Fair We groomed last night. The current plan is groom late evening as long as the temperature holds. We will groom tonight. There is a plowed portion where logging is taking place and it is down to dirt. This could be the last weekend to the Falls, but we will play it by ear. Icy!
Trail 9: Fair We groomed last night. The current plan is groom late evening as long as the temperature holds. After this weekend we will do one way trips at night to the Pine Stump and then do one way back the following day as long as we can.

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 1/30/26 Minus 5 degrees this morning under a cloudy sky. No new snow in the last 24 hrs. but we do have about 3 feet of snow on the ground so no worries...LOL. Here`s whats been happening since my last report a couple days ago...... No bad news...the machines have been running beautifully....Mother Nature has been cooperating perfectly....and our trails are EXCELLENT!!!! The Falls trail #45, the Point trails #452 & #453 and the South trail #8 all fall into that catagory. The only blip on the radar is on the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 but it is only minor. Our section of trail #9 is still being plowed down from the Stump to the East branch of the Two Heart by the loggers. It is no big deal, just take trail #8 around instead of #9, just like the old days. Its a touch longer but you`re out there to enjoy the ride.....right? On the bright side, they are done up by Crisp Point but it will take us a couple trips to get that back in great shape. Where is everybody?? Its been awful slow around here. COME ON U.P., You are missing out!! LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Groomer Chris #paradise #newberry ... See MoreSee Less
