TRAIL REPORT, February 18, 2022
GREAT TRAILS with STORM COMING!
Light new snow and a hard flat base still have the trail system in an overall very good condition. Groomer operators were again reporting great results. Forecast has a blizzard coming through tonight so watch for possible trees down Saturday. This is typically the busiest weekend of the season so trails may get choppy in some areas throughout the day. We are still anxiously waiting for our Big Deere to return so we can get back to some serious grooming. For now the smaller Bully setup is making due on the West side but its been a struggle meeting our high grooming standards. This Saturday be sure to stop by the groomer building in Shingleton for our open house. Warm up with Free food and refreshments and see what’s behind the scenes of grooming trails – noon to 5 pm Saturday. Get out and enjoy some really nice riding conditions. Keep doing the Cold Weather Snow Dancing and Stay Tuned for updates!
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails –
Todd went out tonight on his second grooming run. Trails are holding up really well with lower than expected traffic. That will change this weekend as it always does. We are all lined up for a full weekend of grooming! Be aware of the sled dog races this weekend and be respectful of them as they use sections of snowmobile trail around the central UP. Ride right and ride safe!
