We have recovered all of the trails we could after the meltdown and rain.
The results a looking good.

Great Early Season Conditions. Our trails were groomed last night, today, and this evening.
This weekend the weather guessers are saying temps up to 38 in Munising. Expect trails to not be groomed if this does happen.

We were able to get 419 between Wetmore and Christmas groomed.
The mud holes are packed in pretty decent. You will still a couple of water areas.
The trail up to Beartrap from Shingleton – grooming this evening except swamp close to the Bears Den.

The trail from AuTrain out to Marquette. Still a bit thin out that way. Maybe todays snow will change that.
The trail is staying flat and you will hear rocks hitting your skis in areas.

417 Between Chatam and Brownstone has not been groomed. Trail is very rocky. We hope to get in there after a bit more snowfall.

Picture shows Alger Falls Creek on trail 419. This used to be a nightmare creek crossing that has been permanently fixed.

EARLY SEASON CONDITIONS

- Watch for water, plow trucks, snow piles from plows at road crossings.
