The section of trail between Bessemer, MI & Wakefield, MI may currently be impassable for inexperienced riders due to water/mud holes. We continue to see traffic during the first part of the week, which we know has likely used up the snow bridges from put in place Sunday morning. Groomers have been off the trail since Sunday 11am due to temps; moving warm snow only helps it melt faster. So does the weight of our equipment. Looks like we will recover on or just after Christmas, so get those trips booked! GREAT temps and GREAT snow forecast! Trail reports will be updated once we see rolling groomers out again. Rail beds still look flat and mostly white, a bit of a snirt strip down the center is seen throughout, some sections complete snirt. Stay tuned and think snow!

Overall Story: We experienced an influx of riders this weekend & are grateful they chose to stay and ride our trail system! The trails are in fair to poor condition. Warm temperatures Saturday and Sunday led to the 5-7″ base we were working with to break up, snow is very thin and snirty (Snow + dirt) in spots, but they are snow covered with a 2-4″ base. Water holes were busted open, which required some creative snow finding to make snow bridges. Our entire trail system, outside of 160 & 11S, was groomed every night Thursday-Sunday. Grooming will not resume until Tuesday to try and help keep the snow on the trails. Snowy weather the end of this week should allow us to get trails back into shape for the Christmas weekend.
