GREAT LATE SEASON RIDING!

Overall trail conditions are very good to good with great riding conditions. Trails are a little soft but have a great base. Grooming is on hold due to high temperatures and wet snow. Trails 8, 417, 418 and 7 North are very good. All other Trails are a bit choppy but not bad considering the weather and not groomable right now. Trail 419 between Christmas and Munising has moguls on inside corners but is fairly flat elsewhere and very much rideable as long as you slow down and pay attention to trail conditions. Trail 419 between Munising and Wetmore has the big hill on the Munising side icy at the top with moguls on the inside corners but all rideable. As soon as grooming can resume we are expecting all trails, with exception of 419, to be going up to very good condition. Keep cold weather snow dancing so we can hang on to the season, Enjoy the Trails and Ride Safe!

Past 24 hour Grooming Operations: None – on hold due to warm temperatures

Forecast: Cloudy/Rain, High 38ºF, Winds S 5 to 10 mph
