St. Ignace Trail Report – 02/13
Things are not changing that much out there. It got around freezing this weekend which did produce a bit of a chop on our trails up by Trout Lake. The infamous last 2 miles got a little tore up on Saturday, but should be all fixed back up by now. Everything else is just about the same. A couple of tough spots on the RR Grade North of Iggy, and in Moran, the sides of the roads suck, and the pipeline is tough going. The forest trails are in good shape, and everything else is just this fantastic base waiting for snow. Drop back to this thread for pics of the trails: http://www.straitsareasnowmobileclub…ead.php?t=1286 This weeks forecast is just more and more of the same. Near freezing temps with little to no snow except some sort of possible storm on Thursday: Tonight: A chance of snow and freezing drizzle after 1am. Increasing clouds, with a low around 24. West wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Tuesday: A chance of snow and freezing drizzle before 1pm. Cloudy, with a high near 35. Southwest wind between 5 and 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Tuesday Night: Cloudy, with a low around 26. Southwest wind around 5 mph. Wednesday: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 34. Southwest wind between 5 and 10 mph. Wednesday Night: Cloudy, with a low around 26. Thursday: A 50 percent chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 34. Thursday Night: A chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 26. Friday: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 33. Friday Night: A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 20. Saturday: A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 28. Saturday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 16. Sunday: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 26. Looking OK, but we are getting to the point that we are going to need more snow if we are going to keep the Southern loop ridable. The Northern loop should be OK through the weekend, new snow would fix up the trouble spots. So far this season we are running about 18% of normal grooming. I sure hope that we pick up some groomable snow in the near future to get those number up some.
