STILL HANGING IN THERE!
Light new snowfall with the trail system in an overall good condition. We are continuing the down equipment struggle with help from neighboring clubs and doing our best with the smaller, lighter equipment. Stay alert as trouble areas still have a few pockets that will develop throughout the day. Thank our neighboring clubs for helping us keep your trails rideable by grooming additional miles (Trenary Northern Trails, Schoolcraft County Motorized Trails Association and Big Bay De Noc Snowmobile Club). We are hoping our Pisten Bully will be back up and running any day now so we can dig into full grooming operations for the weekend. The Big Deere is under repair and will hopefully be back to us next week. Get out and ride safe, stay right and enjoy the great riding conditions! Keep doing the Cold Weather Snow Dancing and Stay Tuned for updates!
