Great Late Season Trails – Machine Down !
Overall trail conditions are very good to good with great riding conditions. Trails are a little soft but have a great base. As you approach Christmas, Munising and Wetmore Trails are a bit thin and icy. Trail 419 between Munising and Wetmore has the big hill on the Munising side very icy at the top. The Bully is still down due to a bad Water Pump and will be for a few days yet. In the mean time we are continuing to groom with the Deere as much as possible. We do have a Demo Prinoth Husky and Arrow groomer from Grand Equipment to try out for a few days before this weekends Groomer Workshop. A smaller set-up than we need but so far very impressed with the performance and build quality. We see checking out the larger Bison in the very near future. Remember our grooming machines run 24 hours so stay alert. Keep the cold weather snow dancing going, Enjoy the Trails and Ride Safe!

Past 24 hour Grooming Operations:
Trail 7 from Christmas to CR440, Trail 8 from 7 miles North of Shingleton west to Trail 417, Trail 419 from Trail 8 through Wetmore to Munising.
