BLIZZARD CONDITIONS – PERFECT TRAILS SOMEWHERE UNDERNEATH!
Overall trail conditions are very good to excellent but a Blizzard Warning with bitter cold, blowing, drifting snow has them hidden in areas. Grooming operations are currently on hold due to the extreme weather conditions and highway M-28 is closed between Munising and Marquette. On the good side it is focused directly over our area so we are getting plenty of fresh snow to work with. If venturing out expect drifting conditions across the trail system, be prepared and have a buddy riding with you.
Past 24 hour Grooming runs:
Grooming Operations are on hold until Wednesday night. Please note the assigned rating for trail segments listed below is based on the last grooming run for each.
Today’s Forecast: Blizzard Warning Widespread blowing Snow, -1 degrees and 20 to 40 mph West wind. 2 to 4 inches accumulation. Wind Chill -30 degrees today.
PLEASE ride with caution, stay right and be respectful, stay on the trail and off the throttle when in the towns.
Keep Snow Dancing with your friends and stay tuned for updates!
