(1/18) Ironwood: Shawn and I are taking a little stroll out on Trail 2 from Bessemer to the Hurley. Friendly reminder that all SXS’s refrain from using designated snowmobile trails. It’s a beautiful night for a ride! Ride safe, friends!

(1/21)  A rare day groom was done today. Kinda nice seeing people and scenery instead of a black hole every night! Today 102 and 8w we're covered and tonight 13n, 13s, 8e and 1n will all be covered. Trail's are holding up great and laying flat. Temp's remain COLD !! and we had light snow in the air all day.. Get out and enjoy, we saw lot's of smiling faces today.

(1/21) Groomers went out yesterday and today and groomed our entire system. Our trails are in excellent condition. Trail boss Jim G and wife took a 250 mile trip and every trail ridden was fantastic! Shout out to Sno valley riders, Superior Snowmobile club, Kewenaw Snowmobile Club, Iron Range Trail Club and of course our own UP Thunder Rider Groomers!

The trails are very good.

Please ride on the RIGHT side of the trail and STOP at the stop signs!

Stay on the trail, if you don’t we could lose trail permissions on private property.

(1/16) All trails are being groomed on a regular basis. Our Groomers now have GROOMER TRACKER installed in them for you to follow, when you download the APP.

NOTICE! Trail #16 East of Crystals, no longer being groomed to M95. It is only open to The Michigamme River on M69 to the Michi-Aho Resort, due to private landowner closing the trail.

Our regular grooming days will be as follows:
Trail #16 from Crystal Falls, West to Iron River and Trail #111 and #18 from Crystal Falls to Amasa then east to Republic; Groomed Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Trail #113 and Trail #2 From Crystal Falls South to The Brule River, then west to George Young Cut off: Groomed Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Trail #16 From Crystal Falls East to Sagola: Groomed Tuesday and Thursday. This trail does not connect to trail #5 East of M95 in Dickinson County. That section is closed due to not being able to secure permission from private landowners. We will continue to work on this with the DNR.

“We have lighted Trailhead parking and Port-a-Jons, at our Quonset Hut, located on M69 and trail #113 (at the bottom of the hill in Crystal Falls) for your easy access to ride our trail system.

• Big Bay to Marquette is groomed and in fair to good condition

Still some areas with heavy drifting, use caution and Ride right

(1/12) We survived last weeks warm up and got back out Grooming Friday night. Overall our trails held up well and we have them back to standard Moose country trail conditions for the most part. There are still a few swamp crossings on trail 5 south down by where we turn around that are still not froze enough for us to cross yet. We have another warm up and then more snow coming for mid week this week. We will get back keeping the trails smooth once the warm up is done. With these warm spells be very cautious of the swamps and wet area's. Ours have been holding up pretty well but I have seen issues posted from other clubs. If you are not sure of where you are at and it may be a low swamp area please stay on the trail. Getting stuck in a water or mud hole is no fun. As always stay safe and ride right.

(1/18) We have been a bit too busy to post, but we have been out! We got some glamour shots of the trail tonight and conditions couldn’t be better! Dress for cold temps coming. Ride right and ride safe! Photo Link

We did have some issues with the John Deere 6175.
You will notice it is missing the front blade. A stump was hit on Miners Castle Trail.
While working on the tractor, we noticed several broken hub bolts in the right rear track.
This was resolved and the tractor has been running bladeless since. We are working on getting the replacement parts needed.
Prinoth Bison is being recovered from the trail today – this evening.
Mechanic plans to be here Thursday (tomorrow) with the needed parts.
We hope to have it back up before this weekend.

We have been coving the system and keeping the trails in good shape.
419 has been the exception. We are working on getting the John Deere from Wetmore to Munising this afternoon.
Once we have the Bison off of the trail blocking trail 7 in to XMAS we plan to send the groomer down 419 from that side.

(1/20) Holy Guacamole did we get a dump of snow last night!!! At least a foot on top of the 7-8 inches we got yesterday. It's going to take a bit to get all the new white gold groomed into submission.

No report available

(1/19) Trail 43 South of Seney and Northwest of Seney, Trail 8 heading to the Bear Trap and Trail 440. All reported trails are currently in great shape with excellent riding conditions. Please use caution on Petrol Lane. There are loggers operating about one mile North of Trail 8. Trail 431 has a minor detour around the swamp just north of Seney. *** DO NOT TRY TO GO THROUGH THE SWAMP! IT WAS FROZEN BUT WITH THE WARM UP AND RAIN WE GOT LAST WEEK. THERE”S A DEEP MUD HOLE NOW YOU WILL GET STUCK*** Just use Trail 440 along M-77 once your up by the park and ride Trail 431 is great all the way to Trail 9. Our Grooming team is grooming trails daily to maintain safe and smooth conditions.

(1/22) All SCMTA trails have been groomed and are currently open. Crews are continuing to pack snow into wet areas, and riders should expect some soft or wet spots, especially with recent temperature swings. Colder temperatures should help improve conditions. Bear Creek Swamp remains closed until further notice. Please see the pinned post for the reroute. Groomer drivers will evaluate conditions and groom safely through the weekend as conditions allow. Please watch your speed while riding. There have been a high number of recent accidents, and trail conditions can change quickly. Ride within your limits and watch for other riders.

(1/11) Trails are all in great shape the fresh snow we got sure helped. The last pic was when our groomer got back to the barn last night. The northern lights were on full display last night. Enjoy the ride and remember to ride right stay safe out there. Photo Link

(1/21) Good evening! Groomer Pat hit the Kinross east loop this evening. This is 49 south of M80 and the 494 loop (one of my favorites!) Looking beautiful! Thank you Pat!  Photo Link

(1/22) 11 degrees this morning and snowing. I got a solid 3" on my deck from last night too! Just giving you a quick update before I head out da door to go grooming. I`ve got all good news so lets go.......Groomers Mike C. and Glenn worked on our down machine all day yesterday and think they have it fixed! Seems to have been a sensor issue...darn electronics anywho. I am taking her out today and running the South trail #8. While I`m doing that, Groomer Mike C. is gonna go into the south swamp and see if he can get it packed in enough to send me thru with the drag on my way back! If all goes well we`ll have at least one lane groomed thru there and we can open the gates!!! When he gets done in there he will hit the Falls trail #45. Groomer Keith hit the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 yesterday and rated them as good. More good news.....Groomer Patrick ran the Point trails #452 & #453 and rated them as good to go. The water holes on the North section are froze in now!!! So.....everythings good to go in PANR land!! Thank you Mother Nature!!!! COME ON UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Groomer Chris

(1/18) The Hulbert, Trout Lake, Rudyard and the Grade groomers are out. Ride safe, Ride Right

(1/18) This is what happened yesterday. This was in an area we typically dont have a waterhole problems. This was csused by all that rain we had. It’s a place that snowmobiles would not have had a problem but our groomer did. That being said there are some areas that are great and some not so great..please use caution on the trails and watch for wet areas! Next week cold temps (single digits to below 0) are being forecasted almost every day and we will continue to freeze in these wet spots. This had been a strange season for sure!

(1/20) Word of the day is cold! This is our best friend right now. We have snow and no issues to report. We are grooming and trails are good. We don't see any major changes in the next week. Also for the people asking about the potential ice bridge. WE DO NOT report any conditions on ice and we will not recommend crossing. Thank you!

The trail is on the narrow side- so take it slow. Bully 18 out on trail 491 replacing signs from wind busting off post and making the trail great.Gary Zwolinski and Brian Photo Link
