REPEAT: FRESH SNOW – NICE RIDING
Overall trail conditions are very good with exception of parts of Trail 419. An inch or two of fresh snow last night helped trails groom nice with improved setting. Considering this years uncooperative weather we really have some nice riding conditions out there. We are still down a machine with Trenary Northern Trails helping us on the West end. Part of Trail 419 is inaccessible by our running groomer and will not be groomed until the Bully is operational. Keep the cold weather snow dancing going, Enjoy the Trails and Ride Safe!
Past 24 hour Grooming Operations: (currently operating with only 1 machine)
Trail 7 from Christmas to Buckhorn Road, Trail 8 from 7 miles North of Shingleton west to Trail 417, Trail 418, Trail 419 from Trail 8 to Wetmore.
Forecast: Sunny, High 29ºF, Winds W 5 to 10 mph

ROUGH TRAIL suggested route
- Trail 419 from Wetmore west to the West Bay Spur Intersection cannot be groomed until we have the Bully running. Conditions are poor. If staying in Munising we suggest taking Trail 419 toward Wetmore for a much shorter route to access the trails.
