GREAT TRAIL RIDING!
Overall trail conditions are very good, especially considering the lack of significant new snow over the last 6 weeks. Another dusting fresh snow has helped with grooming conditions last night. In general we have a great flat base with trails a bit sugary in areas. Dog Sled Races are this weekend so watch for signs like shown in the gallery, slow down in those areas and give right-of-way to the teams racing. We also have the Munising Ice Fest this weekend which will have increased traffic and vehicles out by Miners Castle. Keep the cold weather snow dancing going, Enjoy the Trails and Ride Safe!
