Temps have been above freezing here in Munising the last few days.  Still going below freezing at night but we are experiencing some melting.  We still have about two feet of snow in the woods off trail.  Coalwood and Haywire sections of Trail 8 are in good condition.  Groomers are working multiple shifts.  The 422 going to Miners Castle is a little bumpy but still in good condition.

Pretty warm weather for Feb. in Munising.  Temps have been hitting mid thirties during the day and dropping down to the twenties at night.

We have had some settling and melting but there is still lots of snow here.  The groomers are running three shifts and the groomed snowmobile trails are in good condition.

The ice conditions on Munising Bay are starting to get a little shaky.  Lots of open water around Grand Island and in the channel.  Still some diehard ice fisherman on the bay.

We received around 6 inches of fresh snow from the last storm here in Munising.  The groomed snowmobile trails are in good condition with an 8-10 inch base.

The groomers are out and snowmobiling conditions in Munising are good.

Temperatures warmed up again here in Munising.  Snow in town and along the side of the roads is thin.

The Coalwood and Haywire section of Trail 8 are pretty bumpy.  The 419 connector going into Wetmore is bumpy, snirty, and some of the corners closer to town are icy and dirty.  Seems to be a little on the warm side for the groomers.  The groomed snowmobile trails are fair to good at this time with an 8 inch base.

There is still good riding on the forest and logging roads in the Hiawatha National Forest.  Good news is the weather forecast is calling for more lake effect snow this weekend.  Maybe 8+ inches of powder on the way.

The snowmobile trails around Munising are still looking pretty good after the warm up and ice yesterday.  We had some thawing along with some freezing rain and snow.  Then the temps dropped into the 20′s again and everything froze back up.

The groomed trails are a little bumpy but with the fresh snow we have falling now the groomers should be able to smooth them out today.  Another 1-3 inches of snow is in the forecast for today.
