Snowmobile Trail Conditions as of March 1, 2010

Last Friday’s snow amounted to about 3" on the Northern Trails, and about 2" on the Southern trails. The Northern trail was groomed on Friday, and things turned out well.

The Southern trail remains ungroomed, and there are no plans to grooming those trails without an 8” snowstorm. All Mackinac Bridge crossers are advised to take the Western loop or trail #473 to get out of St. Ignace. You should be able to get through OK, but it won't be anywhere near perfect - especially in town, which has not been groomed at all this year. Right now, plans are to groom the Northern and West connector trails on Thursday or Friday, and they will probably sit there for the weekend. Additional grooming will depend on any snow that we get - if any.

The forecast for this week, should just barely maintain what snow we have, and then we will loose some this coming weekend. The last weather report showed a warm up, and maybe rain on Saturday.
