Adam Garvey
agreed that the area is in need of more snow. Adam felt that the trails are in fair condition overall (due to lack of snow) and poor in certain areas such as a good part of The Eagle’s Loop- Trail 130, the first 3 miles towards Copper Harbor after going to the left on Trail 3 at the “y” of 3/134 and about the last 3 miles on the way out to High Rock Bay that he felt were in poor shape due to simply not having enough snow. Most riders we talked to agreed with this review.
A reminder of the water hole that was filled in on the way out to High Rock still has dirt exposed (shown in photo) so please ride this area along with all trails, of course with caution⚠️ AND get those snow dance games stepped up a notch!
Once again a huge thank you to all the amazing Groomer Operators, doing all that is possible with the limited amount of snow! We are all SO appreciative of your hard work! …

First of all, Happy New Year to all! Sorry for no update yesterday, groomers were out in full force all day!
Trail 3 from Mohawk to Clear Lake is in decent early season shape. TRAIL 3 IS OPEN FROM CLEAR LAKE JUNCTION OVER BROCKWAY MOUNTAIN! Gates are open but conditions are thin.
Trail 122 to Gay is thin to fair, with some water hazards operators are working to repair.
Trail 130 to Eagle River/Eagle Harbor was groomed for the first time yesterday, conditions were fair with a good amount of snow in the higher elevations, but thinning near the lakeshore.
Trail 132 East/West to Lac La Belle are in good early season conditions.
Trail 17 from Mohawk to Hancock is in fair early season condition, with thinner spots between Kearsarge and Mohawk.
All trails are still in early season shape and bumpy in spots due to high traffic. Ride Carefully and enjoy!
Also for those not familiar with the regulations, ANY WHEELED VEHICLES ARE PROHIBITED ON TRAIL. We have had two incidents of cars on our trails already this year!
Stay safe, stay right.

The first polar front will sweep through the Midwest on Thanksgiving day bringing temperatures 10 to 15 degrees below average. Lows below zero are expected for some across the north and in the single digits down to I80. Highs this weekend will only be in the single digits and teens for areas down to I80. Dangerous wind chills of -20 degrees or colder are increasingly likely, especially north of I90. The graphic below shows the temperatures on Sunday morning.
Another polar front will move through next week bringing even colder temperatures. Expect reinforcing shots of very cold air over the next couple of weeks. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #petoskey #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity~First Polar Front Thanksgiving~

Before anyone gets on the "SEE CLIMATE CHANGE IS FAKE" train... one of these below average maps DOES NOT negate the other 500 above average ones. Trends, folks. Trends. Nothing is a straight line. The warming temperature trend line is full of peaks and valleys with an overall increasing trend. 🙂 #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #petoskey #gaylord #cadillac #traversecityI need to post this image again because WOW. I can't recall the last time nearly all of the United States was forecast to be below average.

After Thanksgiving, a large portion of the U.S. will likely see below normal temperatures into early December. And of course, there's southern Florida. 🌞
