Our trails saw traffic over the weekend but have held up well. Over the weekend we had about 2″ fresh snowfall and that was a big help for road crossings and shoulders. Groomers were out and conditions are overall smooth. Yesterday was cloudy, cold (14 for a high) and breezy. Even the ice fishermen/women didn’t seem to be out. Today we’ve got sunshine and more cold (around 6 degrees). We may make it to the teens but that’s it. Looks like mid-20’s Tuesday and Wednesday with snow moving in Wednesday. We expect traffic to be light until this holiday weekend so the trails should be decent all week! Stay tuned for the latest update tomorrow morning. Thanks for reading!

Just an FYI that there’s logging activity on the east loop of our wooded trail. The area is signed but watch for changing trails conditions where the trail has been plowed for vehicle traffic. The activity stretches about 1/2 to 1 mile.

Other grooming club news is the new drag we took delivery of in January. The State approved our purchase and this drag was custom-made for us by the experts at Dubie Welding & Fabrication in Gaylord. We’re glad to support local, Michigan business with this purchase. And since this drag will be paid for with State dollars it’s nice to know your trail permit money is coming back around.

Thanks to member donations we’re putting up a groomer building ,where we now store and can work on the equipment. Your support makes all the difference! Thank you–
