OPERATORS TRYING THEIR BEST!
A few more inches of new snowfall with the trail system in an overall fair to good condition. We are continuing the down equipment struggle with help from neighboring clubs but the entire system is getting groomed in a 24 hour period. With only one machine running the core of our trail system it has been very hard to keep up with and getting choppy throughout the day. We are doing our best but the smaller, lighter equipment is making it very difficult. Stay alert as trouble areas have had a few pockets 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). 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!

Past 24 hour Grooming Operations: Trail 8 from Trail 417 East to 7 miles North of Shingleton, Trail 7 from CR440 North to Christmas, Trail 417, Trail 418, Trail 419, Trail 422, Wetmore Spur

Forecast: Sunny, 31ºF, Winds S 5 to 10 mph → 15 to 20, gusts to 30 mph
Currently: Clear, 7º F, Winds S 9
