Munising Area Trail Report – 01/17
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA >> 01/17 Trail Report Posted Warm temps and high traffic today set us back a bit. We were not able to groom during the day today. Trails are getting snirty in some areas. Groomers went out about an hour ago and are reporting that the snow is balling up in the drag. They are panning trying to knock flat. All of our trails get 2 passes (out and back). Snow is now starting to lock up a bit and grooming results will get better as the temp drops this evening. We are trying to get it all knocked flat before it freezes, Please try to get off of the trail and let the groomers pass, <> <> <> REGIONAL TRAIL REPORTS Visit Alger County SORVA Facebook Page >>>> <> Visit Alger County SORVA Trail Report >>>> <> Visit TNT Trenary Northern Trails Facebook Page >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> After midnight, temperatures and wind chills gradually warm through Wednesday; Cold Weather Advisories end at 1 AM EST.

Also due to this cold air, lake effect snow will be a fine and powdery type snow which is highly effective at reducing visibility. Expect frequent white out conditions in the northwest becoming west wind snow belts this evening through Tuesday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaTonight will be the coldest night of the season with subzero temperatures for most across the U.P. into Tuesday and wind chills down to between -20 and -45.

Sorry for the lack of reports. PC died after a windows update over the weekend.
We groomed non stop all weekend. I assure you.
Last night (Monday Night)we did not send the groomers out due to the Extreme Cold. This morning 5 am we tried to send them out. Our fuel is gelled up.
We are currently working to get them back on the trail.
Yes we know the trails are trashed right now.
Posting a bunch of pics from over the weekend.
We had several issues and worked through them in nascar pitstop fashion.
Cutting mogs North of Shingleton we broke the drag. Wing was stuck down and could not cross the bridge. This set us back 4 hours but was able to rig and groom the rest finishing Sunday morning 8am. The bison has a frozen solid air filter. The fine dust snow was not only bad for visibility. Tractor air filters suffer as well.
Doing all we can. Sorry the trails are hammered right now. #munising #snowphotos
Meanwhile, lake effect snow and considerable blowing snow will persist for the W to WNW snowbelts, creating localized whiteout conditions north of M-28 in the east, and over M-26 and US-41 across the Copper Country.
