As of this moment we have only one groomer operational so we will do our best to keep the trails good. All the trails are wet and getting thin with the warm weather, but are still in fair condition, trail 45 has mud again where the logging has been going on but we are working to try to bring some snow back in from the edges. It is currently 30 degrees and sunny.
Remember when you are on the side of any road always ride on the right side!

TROUT LAKE AREA UPDATE via The Rail House-Trout Lake MI >> Attempt #2... we made the entire loop around the lake. Use caution as there is a downed tree on the backside of the lake. We did not have a chainsaw and were unable to move it on our own. Visibility is better and there are a lot of sleds out. The snow is DEEP. If I had to guess I would say we got 20"+ of snow. Be safe. Be prepared and do not ride alone. Buckhorn, Trout Lake is open and so is the gas station Special thanks to RAD Rentals! Our family from Florida is enjoying the snow and their lessons in being a Yooper. Check them out for snowmobile and gear rentals!! #troutlake #newberry #snowphotosAttempt #2... we made the entire loop around the lake.

TROUT LAKE - EASTERN U.P. UPDATE via The Rail House-Trout Lake MI >> Welp... we had to give it a shot but only made it a few miles before we turned around and headed back in. The wind makes it hard to tell exactly how much snow we have gotten in the last 24hrs but its pretty significant. Roads are NOT passable. Please don't try to go out until the county trucks are able to do a pass or 2. If you are familiar with our area, this pic was taken on Huckleberry road on the South side of the lake. #troutlake #newberry #snowphotosWelp... we had to give it a shot but only made it a few miles before we turned around and headed back in.

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails – 03/08
Looking at the forecast, we may get through the weekend. Trail groomed out well, but the temps and sun are making everything wet and soft. Welcome to late season conditions. We will groom as long as we can, but we already have dirt starting to show in a couple areas. We don’t have our usual amount of base so the trail won’t last like it usually does. Get out and enjoy it while it lasts!
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> We are all cleaning out after all of this snow. Sounds like great snow coverage from end to end. That’s the good part! The bad part is we have so many wind prone areas with heavy drifting, that we need to let it settle for a day and get some sleds over it before we send out the groomer. It is the downfall of being a one groomer club. We don’t have the availability of running tandem to quickly recover from a storm like this. But…. This is the perfect time for all of the “adventurous” riders to break trail in GREAT SNOW!!! Just beware of fallen trees. Carry a saw and report back to us if there are any big ones down that need serious attention. We will report back as soon as we get back out!

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA >> Well, we got snow. All day yesterday it rained. Transition to snow was last night 8pm. We are working on getting out of our homes to get to the groomers. 50 to 60 mph winds all night and still blowing hard. Power has been out. If you are brave enough to go out in this wind, bring your chainsaws! It is going to be a solid day of clearing trees for us. The roads are currently blocked by trees and power lines. The picture shows my driveway that i plowed at 5am. Plowing in progress. We are doing all we can. Helping with tree removal would be very much appreciated. Be careful out there. #munising#snowphotosWell, we got snow. All day yesterday it rained. Transition to snow was last night 8pm.
