PEREMARQUETTE TRAILS UPDATE via Pere Marquette Snowmobile Club Inc. >> Trails were rolled last night hopefully they will hold up thru warmup. We have a couple of issues to address someone is taking signs down at 15 th avenue on trail 30 11/2 mile east of 66 2 weeks ago it was a stop sign last night there was a stop ahead sign missing so be alert in this area. Also we are still working on leaning trees in Clare county. It is passable but watch out for branches hanging down. Think snow Ride right. #peremarquette

Ended up closed again yesterday as there was another blessing of 6 inches of snow and we took off on another great ride of untouched snow, leaving Frederic and up towards mount Frederic and lakes of the north to starvation lake and back to Frederic. Lunch at the hide away and back to Frederic. About 150 miles of prime riding between sunday and monday. Sundays ride took us to lovells for a great pizza. Now time to get to real work today. Pics below are of the Jordan Valley groomers with a giant project on the trail. The guys were there to get the track back on the groomer. It actually came off a few days ago but they had to gather up equipment to put it back together. Wow what a huge project. A big thank you to all those volunteer guys. Thanks for checking in.
