NO NEW SNOW AND STILL CLEARING TRAILS!
Overall fair to good trails with no new snow. Groomed from Shingleton to CR440, Christmas and Wetmore to Munising over the last few days. Trails 418, 417 and 422 poor with downed trees. Trail 418 is getting worked on with slow progress. Trail 422 scheduled for clearing and grooming on Sunday.
The Pisten Bully was repaired again Thursday night – so we thought. The electrical gremlin returned in Munising on a groom from Shingleton to Christmas. Hopefully issue will be corrected today. The Big Deere will be out grooming today and tonight.
A BIG THANK YOU!
Alger SORVA would really like to thank Paul Eyde for his generous donation of two brand new Stihl MS271 Farm Boss chain saws, extra chains and supplies. Donations like this from trail users really help make all the voluntary trail work much easier.
Past 24 hour Grooming Operations:
Trail 8 from Shingleton to Trail 7 South to CR440, Wetmore Spur and Trail 419 from Wetmore to Munising.
