I went for a ride yesterday to grand marais. The trail was good until we got outside of grand marais. There’s less snow by town. I think getting in and out of town will be bad in a day or two
It’s spring riding conditions. Towns will be hard to get in and out of. Your best bet will be to trailer and ride from the better areas
If you want to do 200 to 300 miles a day might not be your time. If you want to cruise around you’ll be fine. If it was me I would take seasonal roads and fire lanes
Get some ice scratchers they will help a ton. We are still getting cold nights so things will be set up hard
Plenty of parking here for anyone that needs it. Stay in town and come ride out here..

Winter came back in force this weekend. Lake affect areas saw 14 to 18 inches by Sunday Night. We groomed 45 to CR500, 9/2 South to Eppoufette, and 9 North to Holland Lake staging area. 9 gets a little thin as you get closer to Newberry.
The gates on 45 are still closed going into the falls as well as into Paradise.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association made it up with the groomer last night Not much new snow yet, just a couple inches at best.The forecasters are saying the lake effect bands will set up today it’s trying to snow right now. If we get a little snow it will be a good weekend. If we get a lot of snow it will be a great weekend. I would think we will get a little snow at least. Let’s hope the big forecasts are correct! People are out having a good time. The biggest complaint was the trails are rough but the clubs should be able to groom with the cold weather being back. Everyone do the snow dance. #newberry#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less

SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association >> Trail 43 out of seney overall has held up pretty well. There are 3 or 4 water spots to contend with, so please ride with caution. As the temperatures will be cooling down we will be getting the trails smoothed out the best we can. The trails still have a good base to them in most areas, we just need some decent snow fall to get them back in shape. Along 77 out of town is dirty but snow covered and fairly smooth. North of the parking area on 77 the trail is better but obviously thin. Getting around town right now is ok at best. We need snow to make things good again, and alot of snow to make them great. #seney #newberry... See MoreSee Less
