Thank you to all of you groomer Gods for all of your hard work! We appreciate you! I can’t say what I want to in a public forum. I was following my GPS when.... Can’t fix stupid 🥴 I'd stopped the groomer , make him back up WTH? I'm guessing stupid because we protect stupid people more than smart ones Idiots!!! 🙄 Wow.

WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> There will be some melting before the weekend, but, if you are heading north the current snowpack is looking decent for many winter sport areas! Some areas of the UP that have had excessive lake effect this season are pushing 5-6ft of snow depth! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey Too bad that color is 40-50 inches, not 50-75 lol and its 1-2 ft not 3-4 ft This supposed to be current snow depth? I’m 7 miles south of pine stump and we’ve gotten well over 2 foot in the last 48 hours alone. There’s way more than 50” out there. Way more than 75 even.

Trail update
We had both groomers running last night and they are back out today. Yesterday’s snowfall ranged from 8-15 inches of powder. Some places even a little more. It will settle down since it’s so fluffy but we are looking good for the weekend. You now can ride out of St Ignace. The first 5 miles will be a little thin and still has frozen truck ruts so please be careful. Otherwise our entire system has enough snow to have an overall good ride.

Trail update
Everything is being groomed on a as needed basis. We are mostly flat and in good shape. The only issue to note is we do not have a big base on the rail road grade from Moran to St ignace. It is currently passable with a few thin spots and might get worse as the weekend gets busy. Our next snow chance comes on Saturday night. Overall you can expect a good ride in our area. Thank you! #straitsarea
