The last two days have been warmer then predicted. Today it was almost 40 and trails softened up. We will continue grooming at night. At the moment we still have decent trails and a few thin spots but our concern is the day time temps looks to be in the mid 30s and it’s hard to keep trails flat in these conditions. We are not saying to change your weekend plans but we want you to know that the conditions could change fast in the next few days.

The exception will be in the northwest wind snowbelts where up to 4” of dry fluffy snow is possible.

EASTERN U.P. UPDATE via Mackinac County Snowmobile Association >> Tuesday December 30 We really got the snow yeaterday. Cut river area seemed to be the winner with claims to 36 inches. St ignace received a foot or more and Trout lake closer to 2ft. With all that snow comes the fun stuff. We did pan what we could last night but had to turn around and could not make it into St ignace do to down trees. We will need a few days to get this storm cleaned up. It is passable to St Ignace by sled but ungroomed until clean up is done. So much snow came at once it will take several passes to get a good hard base again so please be patient with us for a few days while we get things in order. Use extreme caution while riding in our area as there still is branches in the trail. We will update as soon as conditions change. Thank you #soo #straitsarea #newberry #snowphotos...

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> The cool thing about this video is when I left to groom 9 Sunday night, we were still praying for the snow to hit, and I was just working on trail repair, before I got back from this 16hr 91.5 mile run, THIS is what I was working with!! 16 hours included cutting two downed 12-14" pines trees completely across and many other smaller and wind blown debris, lots of stops. I left green ribbons hanging in the spots I cut the two pines, worried about what I may have missed under the snow. Just careful. #newberry #snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
