It has been a weird winter as you well know. There has certainly been a few challenges with snow and mechanical issues, but we have given it our very best to give you the very best. It is certainly late season riding conditions. The staging area in town is dirt. The stretch from town up to the Silver Creek Staging area is thin and several dirt areas and one water spot.
We are losing the side of the road rather quickly. The trails are hard, flat and icy in the morning from the nights, but once the sun hits it they get soft and thin. Some of the corners are icy. We were able to get out after it cools down to scrap things back down and smooth it back out. It is barely hanging on. We will see temperatures warm up over the weekend to mid 30’s on Saturday 38 on Sunday and next week will be upper 30’s again.
We will groom as long as we can. How much longer that is is uncertain and we take it day by day currently. The temperatures will be in the 40’s next week. All the updates are below. Ride Right!! We hope you understand what we are dealing with because we appreciate you being here and supporting our local business! Getting in and out of town will be rough. We realize this could be the last weekend to attempt to ride for most. We Thank each and everyone of you for your support!!
Trail 45: Fair We groomed last night. The current plan is groom late evening as long as the temperature holds. We will groom tonight. There is a plowed portion where logging is taking place and it is down to dirt. This could be the last weekend to the Falls, but we will play it by ear. Icy!
Trail 9: Fair We groomed last night. The current plan is groom late evening as long as the temperature holds. After this weekend we will do one way trips at night to the Pine Stump and then do one way back the following day as long as we can.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A lot of good snowfall totals in the comments of this post. Looks like the Sault Ste. Marie area did the best with around 6 to 8 inches and 7 to 8 inches in the Newberry Area. A couple of inches in the Gaylord area. And then just rain and snow mixes elsewhere in Northern Lower Michigan with negligible accumulations. #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#traversecity#petoskey #soo #straitsarea#newberryIf you got snow last night, we'd love for you to tell us how much you got! Please include a rough time of when your measurement was taken, how long the snow was falling, your locations, and if possible, a picture of a ruler in the snow. ... See MoreSee Less
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> System snow changes over to lake effect snow tonight, continuing through Tuesday.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A clipper system will bring our first decent shot at accumulating snowfall for the eastern UP, where 3 to 6 inches…or even a little more in a few localized spots…could fall by Tuesday morning…with the worst conditions expected between 5 and 10pm. This system appears to be more straightforward than the previous one. Be careful and leave extra time for traveling as we are all trying to get used to driving in the snow again. #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#traversecity#petoskey#straitsarea #soo #newberryA clipper system will bring our first decent shot at accumulating snowfall for the eastern UP, where 3 to 6 inches…or even a little more in a few localized spots…could fall by Tuesday morning…with the worst conditions expected between 5 and 10pm.

WEATHER UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> ~First Polar Front Thanksgiving~ 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~

FROM Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> I 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. 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.

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. 🌞
