MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA >> Trail Report Posted
www.algersorva.com/trailreport/1-21-2025/
Sorry for the lack of reports. PC died after a windows update over the weekend.
We groomed non stop all weekend. I assure you.
Last night (Monday Night)we did not send the groomers out due to the Extreme Cold. This morning 5 am we tried to send them out. Our fuel is gelled up.
We are currently working to get them back on the trail.
Yes we know the trails are trashed right now.
Posting a bunch of pics from over the weekend.
We had several issues and worked through them in nascar pitstop fashion.
Cutting mogs North of Shingleton we broke the drag. Wing was stuck down and could not cross the bridge. This set us back 4 hours but was able to rig and groom the rest finishing Sunday morning 8am. The bison has a frozen solid air filter. The fine dust snow was not only bad for visibility. Tractor air filters suffer as well.
Doing all we can. Sorry the trails are hammered right now. #munising #snowphotos
You guys do a great job and we appreciate all the effort you all put into getting the trails in great shape!

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Ranch Rudolf >> Even the banks of the Boardman River are frozen and ice chunks are floating down stream-truly don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. Currently -18 degrees in the valley. But no wind and beautiful blue sky- honestly a beautiful day ☀️ ❄️
Horses and livestock are doing amazing! Thankful for all hands on deck because it sure is a process to check and do all necessary chores and preparations throughout the day and the night to ensure everyone is staying warm and happy ❤️ #traversecity #snowphotos
SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/21/25
Good morning everyone! It’s a chilly one here today at -6 with a -17 windchill🥶
Our operators have been out all hours to make things as good as can be for all of you.
Here’s Steve’s report from his (and others!) run down 49 to Kinross last night.
“Last night we made the run from the Soo to Kinross on Trail 49. With the recent cold weather we were able to safely make it through the swamp south of 12 Mile and stay on top of the ice.
Last night's run was a team effort with many club members involved. The run takes five hours if everything goes perfect.
We decided to spend some time on the courtesy trail to Chippewa Motors again before leaving town. We also wanted to swap out groomers in Kinross and bring one back to the barn for normal maintenance. These added tasks make for a long night. Thankfully, we have a great group of volunteers who work great together.
The courtesy trail is a tricky stretch until we get the trail set. We have had some confusion with where exactly the trail should be. We were able to set the edges again last night.
Thank you to Groomer Nathan for starting the run early and following the map we provided to Chippewa Motors. He made it through fine and only pushed up water in one spot.
I then took control of the groomer and headed south towards Kinross. Had a wiper fall off just south of town. I made a temporary repair and it stayed on for another six miles. It then fell off again and I ran over it with the groomer. I did retrieve it but I am not sure it can be saved.
I made my way to Kinross and worked my way to the groomer staged down there. Thank you to Groomer Lane who followed me on Groomer Tracker and met me when I got there. He had the groomer warmed up and ready to go for me. Temperature was right around zero and it is much appreciated.
I made my way north and met groomer Dennis at Walmart where he made the last hour or so of the run.
Including our Trail Boss Mike who coordinated the run, there were five volunteers who made this one trip happen. It is nice to share once in a while what happens in the background on a regular basis keeping our trails maintained.
Overall, I was happy with how the trails turned out. It was so cold the snow was chunky and hard to work with. I knocked down the bumps and leveled out the drifts that formed over the weekend. From the Soo to 10 Mile, there was plenty of new snow to work with. It thins out the further south we go.
I hit heavy snow squalls on the return trip. Not sure if it accumulated but it certainly reduced visibility.
The trail is still in great shape in my opinion. Hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy it.
Steve Lawson”
Thank you to all involved!
Stay warm if you head out. Be sure to be prepared for a breakdown and don’t ride alone in this bitter cold. Please download the what3words app in case of an emergency to help first responders locate you.
Ride safe, ride right, ride sober! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #snowphotos

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> Seems I took a lot of videos and very few pictures the past few days and FB doesn’t let a “business “ site mix them in a single post. Good times, good riding, even had a shop day to prep for our big trip next week. Paradise looks like a snow globe and another 8” is in the forecast tonight. A big thank you to the. Magnuson Grand Hotel for squeezing us in when the power went out! #paradise #newberry #snowphotos

BALDWIN AREA UPDATE via Trailriders Snowmobile Club >> 1/20 update: Well, we finally have the brutal cold we need to build that solid base but need more snow to go with it! The only section with enough snow to groom today is trail 19 out towards Hart and that groomer should be out tonight and/or tomorrow after a needed repair. The southern and middle sections (3,320 and 324) are thin and snirty but should be rideable. If we get a couple more inches of snow throughout the system we should be able to get up and grooming with all 4 tractors! The north section (3 &35) is probably in the best shape and should be able to be groomed tomorrow as long as snow keeps coming. The rail trail from baldwin to Reed City (trail 30) is very thin with rocks starting to pop through so we cant groom that until we get a few inches of snow to work with. Please ride safe, ride right, stay warm, and ride sober. Keep up the snow dances! TRSC Secretary Brian #baldwinarea #snowphotos

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> A sunny and very crunchy minus 4 degrees on MLK day in downtown frederic. I took a ride thru grayling this morning and the pic below is a bunch of frosty sleds parked at the Ramada. Sled traffic yesterday was steady all day. We only had a half inch of new snow in Frederic overnight but I talked to a guy that was out by Manistee Lake and he said they got about a foot all day yesterday. I guess frederic is out of the way of the snow maker in the sky. Trail crossings I looked at on the way here were still nice and white and you can thank the extra cold temps for that. Still the same story yesterday with both good and bad trails but everyone enjoying what they can. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos

Fake news, we road all around Paradise today and it was horrible. Maybe you were riding on the roads.
SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/19/25
Groomer Pete just finished the city trails and calls them excellent! This is part of 8, part of 49, 449, and 497, as well as the courtesy trail to the Holiday Inn. He got an extra treat and had zero sleds come through the entire time, so he got to see his work on the way back. The only tracks were from a Snowshoe Hare lol.
He also completely packed and smoothed out the Kewadin trail. You’d never know there was a water hole in there just a few days ago, or that this section had been completely impassable just 2 weeks ago.
Nice work Pete! On a side note- Pete is from NY and a big Bills fan. We are happy for him that his team won while he was spending his time in the groomer!
We got some nice snow last night and more is falling tonight.
Enjoy and please stay safe and warm if you head out. ❄️🥶❄️🥶

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Bergland Area update for 1/19/25. A cold -8 this morning with a couple inches of fresh snow.. All trails were covered last night. Thank you so much to all our Groomer operators. It's been a tough week as you can see in the pictures, with heavy traffic it's almost a complete reset nightly!
Snow conditions...Trail 8e is thin towards Ewen. Closer to Bergland noticably better. 1s to Marenisco, good until around the area of our turnaround where logging is active. 8w to Wakefield. Everything has frozen over and no more water holes! 13s to the Root Cellar or trail 100, good but get's thin south of RC. 13n to Rockland, good but heavily traveled and deteriorates by afternoon. 102 and 1n are the same.
We are doing what we can to keep up and we appreciate every one of you that visit the area!! Be safe Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> We had a great turnout for the 60th Annual Moose Jaw Safari! We had roughly 160 sleds leave from the groomer barn & picked up multiple groups along the way. Thank you to this years trail boss Rob Parson for leading the way!
The trails are getting thin in some areas but are still rideable, the forecast is showing 8” between today & Wednesday! Almost all of our trails were groomed between yesterday morning & last night. We will be out on the grade tonight running Pellston to Alanson, there’s not enough snow to go any further north. #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotos
CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> Thanks to all who came by Coyote yesterday! To our staff who handled the busy crowd, & Lew Finch who manned the bonfire & Corral! The groomers are going out today to try to repair damages from heavy traffic, and trying not to disturb the minimal base too much. • Our dinner special will be Abigail’s homemade lasagna!! You won’t want to miss it 😋 #cadillac #snowphotos
TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> Just rolling the snow!!! Groomer Mark and groomer Jeff got back out on the trails last night. Both reported that the trails have good areas and thin/snirty areas. Overall they rated them as good. Hopefully, we can get some lake effect with this cold weather. Keep doing those snow dances. Remember, Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober. #traversecity #snowphotos
WATERSMEET - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via U.P. Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club >> Groomer update from last night 1/18/25-
Groomers Al and Jeff went out and groomed our whole trail system Saturday 1/18. As pictures show some really good some very thin we had very high traffic yesterday with our groomers encountering close to 400 sleds when they were out. Trails between Lando and Watersmeet and the trails leaving Watersmeet are in the worst shape because of the lack of snow but they get much better going north and west. Because of the extreme cold the next few days we will not be sending groomers out for the safety of our drivers and to protect our equipment and will resume when conditions permit. Ride right and ride safe! #westernup #snowphotos
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Melstrand Union General Store >> And just like that it’s snowing again. With Lake Superior not frozen, cold temps and a wind from the north we’re about to get significant snow the next few days... #munising #snowphotos
SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/19/25
Good morning everyone! The snow gods were good to us overnight! Get out and enjoy, but bundle up! ❄️💙🥶 #soo #snowphotos
SENEY AREA UPDATE via Mater's Stop -N- Go Gas Station >> Few more inches. #seney #newberry #snowphotosFew more inches.
CURTIS AREA UPDATE via Curtis Area Trail Association >> Groomed trail 45 from Curtis, up to Trail 9 intersection. The southern half of the trail was thin and trail conditions did improve in the northern sections.
Trail 2 was also groomed from Trail 9 intersection South to H40 Hiawatha Trail. Again, northern sections of the trail had rideable snow but diminished the further south you go, to the point the groomer didn't have enough snow to go past H40 towards Naubinway. Logging operations continue on Trail 2, just North of Hiawatha Trail.
Freezing temps are setting up wet areas, but desperately in need of more snow. #curtis #newberry #snowphotos
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA >> Trail Report Posted.

2 or 3 hours of sleep last night in the groomer.....
I apologize if this post and the report is a bunch of jibberish. #munising #snowphotos
