Jordan Valley Area Trail Report – 01/11

JORDAN VALLEY AREA UPDATE via Jordan Valley Trails Council – 01/11

Some pictures from grooming this week

Overall trails are in fair shape, covered but thin. Our guys did some measurements and there is 1-4” on entire trail system. 131 is thin in spots the entire way. #trail4 toward EJ is the thinnest section of trail we have closer to town, but it’s rideable. Corners are bare in the bottom, random super thin patch in the heavy canopy areas. Much of the roughness is ultimately the underlying ground and frozen ground beneath the snow. Logging is still taking place in the North 10, be cautious as we’ve had reports of limbs and brush in the trails. Trail 766 is CLOSED but we are still working with the DNR and ACRC on an acceptable resolution to get it opened back up, soon ultimately we need more snow in there regardless.

Our volunteers have been out doing what they can with current conditions. Mid week grooming with continue to be groomed as snow and conditions warrant, every other day roughly and we’ll be out on the weekends. It’s forecasted for 6-10” early next week which will whiten things up but not add much to the trail. The new snow will work well as we don’t have much dirt and sand mixed into what’s on the trail thankfully. Stay tuned for further updates from our groomers through the week.

Shout out to all our volunteers for devotion grooming and hitting the trails on sleds to check current conditions as well as our friends down at Kalkaska County Sand and Snow – KCSAS as there are many phone calls with them on conditions.

Be sure to check out our snowmobile clubs and go support them. Antrim County Snowmobile Club has a sled raffle going on as well as their clubhouse is open on Saturdays. East Jordan Trailblazers have their Sunday Breakfast all season long as well as a club raffle. They are the core of our organization and we can’t thank them enough!

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Primary story for the first half of the week will be the milder temperatures, especially today. Breezy southwesterly flow will melt snow and could boost temperatures well into the 40s, particularly if we are able to break into any sunshine this afternoon. A stray flurry or drizzle could linger into Tuesday, with slightly cooler but still warm temperatures ahead of a more organized system that will bring the wintry mix poten... See MoreSee Less

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A disturbance passing through could bring some flurries or light snow at times. Otherwise, temperatures will try to warm toward the 40s to start the work week as southerly flow ramps up tonight into Monday. However, melting snow could lead to grungier and drearier conditions than currently expected. A couple more disturbances pass through the region tonight into Monday morning, and Monday night into Tuesday morning, with po... See MoreSee Less

JORDAN VALLEY AREA UPDATE via Jordan Valley Trails Council >> Thanks to Nick and Kevin for burning the early morning oil! Get out there get a ride in before the big warmup.
Weekly plan, groom early and groom late a couple days this week. Trails have been in great shape, this warmup will help us out and tighten the snow up, shouldn’t hurt us at all. #jordanvalley #gaylord #snowphotos

Here's the latest snow depth map from the National Weather Service as we go into the weekend (February 21, 4:40pm). This is the best snow depth map we have seen in a long, long time. With the slight warmup next we this might be the best snow depth map for the season, so get out and enjoy the snow this weekend! #MIWeather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #SENEY #newberry #Soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #houghtonlake #benzie #traversecity #petoskey ...

Anyone know trail conditions near Lewiston?

2days in Keweenaw and trails were horrible. 3,17 were badly beaten. Ugh

A map with no legend is completely useless

Seney area is deep that's for sure

Dale Stevenson where are you?!

Luzerne!

This is the best snow depth map I've ever found. It's never steered me wrong. I can absolutely count on it to find the best snow.
