March 20, 2025 – 2:45 pm update: – THURSDAY AFTERNOON – The latest snow storm delivered 4 to 8 inches of snow in the Eastern U.P. snow belts. Looks like there are some decent riding opportunities from Munising to Seney to Newberry and east to Brimley. Groomers in some of those areas are likely to be out tonight. Highs in the 30s and low 40s tomorrow then highs in the 20s for Saturday. Best time to get out for a ride is right now or as soon as possible. Even with some melt back on Friday there should be some good riding opportunites this weekend in the Eastern U.P. snow belts. The Keweenaw Peninsula did not receive any significant snow from the snow storm. Some areas in the Keweenaw Peninsula still have some rideable snow, however, your opportunities will be limited.

STRAITS AREA UPDATE via Straits Area Snowmobile Club >> Thursday March 20th Trail report From St ignace to north of Moran we received 8-10 inches of snow last night. The storm seemed to hit our area the hardest with wind damage as well. There is wet spots under the snow and a lot of downed trees. It will take us a few days to get the trees cleaned up. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the low 40s and then cool off for the weekend with more snow Sunday night. Groomers are parked for now. If Sunday storm pans out we will run one more time and be sure to report. There has been a few sleds out today. Trout lake did not get as much snow but there was more old snow underneath so there is areas in the woods that you could ride. It's just getting to them that's tough. It would depend on how much melting goes on tomorrow before we could talk about Saturday conditions. #straitsarea... See MoreSee Less

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA >> We did see 6" of snow overnight. We had the trails pretty flat and icy is most areas. The Snow was wet and heavy. Plenty of wind. Please watch out for down trees. There is also some drifting to watch for. Most trails still have plenty of base but its rock hard. This fluff on top should make for some good riding. We will have folks out inspecting today. After the wind and drifting we will determine what / if makes sense to groom. Picture shown is showing an example of hazards on side of trail being exposed after some melt down. Pretty standard late season conditions. #munising#snowphotosWe did see 6" of snow overnight.
