Michigan Trail Report


St. Ignace Trail Report – 02/03

Huge winter storm Kayla… ya right. Last week some places were predicting 1-3 feet, a few days ago, everyone was getting 8′, then 6′ even last night they were still saying 5′, well Iggy got around 3′, and Moran, TL and most of the EUP got 4′. The only good news is that is the wettest snow I have seen in 2 years – probably the amount forecast problem, as it is still misting/raining right now. Schools are closed as there is lots of ice under the snow from bottom melting. I don’t want to sound negative, cause this snow is packing in like crazy – Wayne is in the groomer right now doing the grade. It isn’t cold enough to set though, so I almost want to say stay off the trail today and let it setup tonight then it will be good to go until we get 40d days.

This snow will set the trails quite well. All of the areas with snow will be in very good – almost excellent condition starting tomorrow. Moran and the pipeline will still be thin, but look much much better then 24 hours ago. Planning on getting another groom in later tonight on most of the trails to get them set for the coming weekend.

Pond Hockey Update:
TRAIL WARNING
There is currently no good lake ice around the area, and the organizers are going to attempt to create rinks at the ice rink parking lot. There will be a winding trail through the area, and you must stay on the marked trail and off the ice rinks! It is going to be very difficult to get the rinks built before the tourney, so please help out, and stay where you belong
