Not that I don't think the higher end of the range is possible, it is, but I think it'll be a bit wider than a 3" spread in some of my contours. Please see previous posts for timing and impacts! #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #straitsarea #soo #newberryFINAL UPDATE! SNOW TIME!

Saturday will be busy as we welcome the mushers back after three years. The teams will be on the trail Friday night through Sunday morning. We are asking our snowmobiling friends to please stay on the NUMBERED trails and don't go down unmarked side trails on Saturday. The mushers will leave Wetmore early Saturday morning and will return on Saturday night. The snowmobile sweep team will follow the last musher and remove the trail markers as they go. Your help on Saturday will keep the mushers and dogs safe. Thank you! #grandmarais #newberry #snowphotosUP200 Weekend in Grand Marais!

Curtis to Newberry Trail, (52 miles) including trails 43 / 457 north to McMillian / Helmer Spurs, then trail 457 northeast to trail 45 to four corners @ trail 9 intersection and back.
We also groomed our Curtis to Naubinway trail (66 miles). trail 43/457 South to trail 2, thru Naubinway and north to the Rexton/ Newberry Tee, trail 9 intersection and back.
Good reports of snow coverage and both groomed up very well ! #curtis #newberry #snowphotos
I crawled outa bed this morning at 0630 and flipped on my outside deck lights and said "holy wah" its gonna be a busy day! It was 5 degrees and I had a solid 7" of fresh snow on my deck!!! It is now 0830 with a bright sunny sky and 7 degrees.
I am not on the schedule to groom today but I wish I was, its gonna be a blast for the guys that are on!! I`ll spend the day digging out...not so much fun.
All trails will be run today but I don`t even have to wait to hear from the guys cause I know all trails will be EXCELLENT and I don`t use that word very often! Thats all I have to say about the trails so here are a few tips for you when you come upon a groomer on the trails. I mention these cause it sure helps us on a long day on the trails and its safer for everyone. Plus. it seems to be a problem every year.
Tip #1.....When you see a groomer coming at you start looking for a good spot to get off the trail and get outa our way so we don`t have to stop or try and squeeze by....this happens WAY to often and it makes for a much longer day for us. Remember we CAN NOT get off the trail and we DO have the right of way.
Tip #2.....When you approach a groomer from behind, follow us SLOWLY from 50' back. Please stay off the brap lever so you don`t tear up the fresh groom. We will let you by as soon as possible. DO NOT just try and fly by us!!!!!
Tip #3......We would rather see hand signals for how many ppl. are behind you in your group or for the last person rather than a thumbs up or even a wave.
This concludes the days lesson on "How to get around a groomer on the trail". Please try and follow these tips. Its MUCH safer for everyone involved. THANK YOU!!!!!! HAVE A SAFE RIDE!!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:45 pretty lonely in Windy Corners tonight.
80-20 my favor in the git outta my way dept. So far, 😊
72 sleds in two hours ...
11:05. Have been spending some time cutting the sticks out if the banks in some of our corners, hard to stay to the right in and out of some of them, started snowing pretty good so I'm stayin in for awhile
You may have noticed our President Chad spent a day out her leveling and pushing corners back, helped immensely.
Be careful on this bridge, they look like guardrails, but they are not, we are above them now.
1:01 Pine Stump, just got and checked the road, 4" of fresh has fallen since I turned north from Windy Corner!
Cleaned my knives off, tally ho! #newberry #snowphotos
