Straits Area Trail Report – 03/25
STRAITS AREA UPDATE via Straits Area Snowmobile Club >> 03/25 Somebody has to be first! We are grooming tonight. Conditions can change fast with spring conditions but there is a lot of areas that are excellent and hoping to hold through the weekend. The first 4 miles coming out of St ignace is rough with trees down and truck ruts. From there north is ok. Cut river area is thin the last couple miles. Other than that expect spring conditions where open areas can melt fast. <> <> Straits Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> The wintry mix of heavy wet snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain continues over the Yoop today before transitioning over to light snow tonight.
