WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> We wouldn’t blame you if you thought the forecast ahead sounded like a broken record. Consistent light lake effect snow is expected through the first half of the week ahead with a fluffy 1-2 inches of snow expected daily in the NW wind lake effect snow bands. Meanwhile, highs will mainly be in the teens to lower 20s with lows in the single digits. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaWe wouldn’t blame you if you thought the forecast ahead sounded like a broken record.

This coming week and weekend should be a great time to ride!!!
Plenty of parking here if you want to trailer up! #newberry #snowphotos
We groomed 9 North 498 and 45 to the falls. Looking at Groomer Tracker Seney made their way across 431 to us and Grand Marais came across 8 over to us as well. Should be a great Sunday. It snowed on and off all weekend. I think we've picked up between 8 and 10 inches of lake affect in the north country.
We did run 45 to the falls and opened the gates. There are atill a couple of water holes on either side of 510 that we are going to try to address today. There were some down trees as well. Make sure to give a big thanks to all our drivers and volunteers keeping things going. #newberry #snowphotos

Be careful there could be some drifts. All the snow last night just blew around nothing in spots then drifts in others! #newberry #snowphotos
19 degrees this morning with a stiff NW wind. Heavy LE blowing in and out again, same as yesterday. Its hard to tell how much snow we got last night what with the wind but I`ll call it 6", I`ve got drifts about knee high in my parking lot! On to the trails.......
Just got off the phone with groomer Mike C. that ran the Stump trail #8. He also brought along trainee Dan. Mike called the trail fair to good. There is only about an inch or two of base on most of it so they hit a lot of gravel and rocks but overall not too bad.
Talked to groomer Kevin last night who did the Point trails #452 and #453. He also brought along Ben. He used to groom for us way back when but now re-joined after spending his last 9 winters in a warmer climate. Kevin reported that the trails were in pretty good shape but the ridge along Doe Lake is awful thin as far as snow goes.
I took off down trail #8 south with another rookie Dave. Some of that trail was good while some of it was down right ugly. I was surprised by how much water was on the south end of the power line south of the river mouth. The Federal Forest section had a ton of water on it also so the gates on that section remain closed. We will not run this trail again for a few days to give it a chance to freeze up some. I can only imagine the water and mud problems on the Falls trail #45 and the swamp south of town. We are gonna give it a few more days to freeze before we attempt to run in there.
Soooo.....trail #8 to Pine Stump is good and the Point trails are good with some thin spots but the trails thru wet lands need a bit more time to freeze up.
I was gonna address the logger issue but ya`ll covered it pretty good on our FB page. They are about done anyways. I do want to say I support the loggers, they have to make a living too.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
