St. Ignace Trail Report – Straits Area Snowmobile Club – 01/29

2 days ago trails were in excellent shape. Everything was groomed board flat, and we were still packing from last Monday’s storm. We needed to widen the trails out some, but still in excellent shape. Today? More snow on them Yay! After yesterday’s 5in or so of snow, and 25-25 mph winds, there is certainly that were blown clean, and guaranteed places that are drifted bad.

The bad news is, honestly I am not sure if we will be running before Friday. If you watch the news, the governor declared a state of emergency with the temps and wind chill. It is barley above zero today and will be much worse tomorrow. Several of my drivers are digging out from the storm or dealing with frozen pipes. Family first here. If you didn’t know in these temps it can be dangerous if the groomer breaks down. All of the glass is wonderful to see, however if the tractor were to break down the cab goes sub zero in about 15 minutes, much faster than we could get to someone in a remote area.

So to sum up. Trails were excellent. Now they have more snow, are likely drifted. We will run the groomers as soon as the drivers get there home lives secured, and it is safe to do so. It will be back to excellent by Saturday for sure.

On a separate note, I would LOVE to heard from the 2 groups of 5/6 riders that went by the office yesterday in the height of the storm. The tails of that ride should be interesting!

St. Ignace Trail Report – Straits Area Snowmobile Club – 01/24

Just a quick update and I will do more later.

Over the last couple of days we received over a foot of new snow. Non of it is really packy, some sugar, some light, some just strange.

Groomers are running, and there are zero problems in the trails, all rated very good condition. The concern now is to get it all packed down, as it seems like loose snow. The smooth trails may get bumpy with use until we can get it all packed and froze down.

Temps this weekend are going to go back down to single digits. Be aware that if the temps drop to -10s, I will cancel groomer runs to same people and equipment, but other than that we should be running every day.

Be safe, be courteous, and if you see a groomer get out of his way please.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> 😭 Last Trip 😪
9:43PM Trail 9
Yuk! Second stop sign out, pretty ugly.
People were glad to see us from the git go, I get it!
Having to dig pretty deep with the blade in the corners followed by an aggressive drag, so heads up till we get back for any curbs I leave behind, still over 9ft wide a pass so you should be able to squeak through 😉
Othe than that, way cool sunset!
Not too much traffic, all pulled over 🥰
It's cleaning up very nice. I'll keep you posted.
11:18pm
Just finished Wolf Inn, North Store, Trails End Lodging, moved alot of snow down in the corners, lots, still digging deep.
Mostly ribbony, leveled off some intersections, enjoying my ride 😁
Just turned north, Pine Stump bound, keep you posted.
7:24am
Back down to the McMillan Leg.
After I left Windy Corners I never saw another sled, still haven't 😊 turning out pretty well, weird snow, thawed, froze, rinse, repeat it seems, kinda like artificial.
Anyway removed the ugly both sides, a few Corners could still use another lap, but they'll be fine. #newberry #snowphotos ... See MoreSee Less
