St. Ignace Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

TRAIL REPORT

3-02-20

We made it through the weekend OK. Fantastic trails on Saturday, getting chewed up in the warm temp on Sunday some, but all in all ton of fun to be had.

The outlook is not that great however. We have between 1 and 2 feet of base on the trails, but we never did get large snowstorms this season to store the snow on the side of the trail like normal. We did on this last storm some, but there isn’t the large banks that we can steal from as the season winds down.
THe forecast right now is showing above freezing temps in the lower to mid 30s for the whole week, with Sunday over 40d:

We should get 1in of snow on tomorrow night, and maybe a trace on Thursday night, but other then that is is supposed to be kinda sunny, which in March does start to take a toll on the trails. Grumblings about a storm next week – maybe that will help us out. We always have a big March storm, or 2 small ones back to back, so riding isn’t over yet folks.

Will trails be perfect for next weekend? No. Will they be rideable? Yes. Will we have damage? Probably, and I will have a detailed report on Thursday to let you know. In the meantime, check your coolant levels, and head out for some mild-temp riding while you can. The groomers will be running a modified schedule all week to keep trails in good shape, and hopefully n
