Just a quickie- warm weekend with slight drizzle that did not last too long.

Halfway Lake Resort – March 10
Trail access from resort. Took this picture today after our “warm up.”

Coming down our dirt side road this evening it was slushy on top but dirt had not mixed in; quite promising for trail conditions. We expect the base that was over 12″ to have held up nicely.

Josh came in this evening and remarks- the snow is really coming down out there.– When the temps dropped our snow gauge still had 26.5 inches of snow. We will up follow with a trail report after guests ride tomorrow. See pictures on our facebook page!!

Josh and Nicole

We are located 12 mi NW of Newberry and 7 miles S of Pinestump Junction. Between Grand Marais and Paradise.

Thank you for your phone calls.

The warm temperatures are taking a toll on the White Pine and in-town trail but the forest trails remain in good shape. The trail coordinator just emailed me and told me ‘The trails are smooth.’ Who doesn’t like to hear that! There is still lots of snow and an ice base under the snow. This afternoon we checked out the 33 Rd Staging Area and found 14 vehicles and trailers. That means there are still plenty of folks riding yet.

To better access the forest trails, you’ll want to use one of the Staging Areas mentioned in the previous posting (see below).

There’s still some good riding in the forest but it would be a good idea to plan on starting from one of the following staging areas:

33 Rd Staging Area–S of M-55–approx.. 3 miles west of Cadillac on M-55 (watch for signs)

Caberfae Staging Area–approx.. 12 miles west of Cadillac on M-55 (watch for signs)

Boon Staging Area–park in plowed area south of Boon Grocery

Our groomers are out there every day as long as temperature and snow conditions permit. Keep in mind the drags don’t work when temperatures get much above freezing. That’s also the time when trail conditions deteriorate quickly.

There isn’t much if any snow in the immediate forecast for us. It’s March though–anything can happen.
