| Trail Report: FROM THE CADILLAC WINTER PROMOTIONS Wednesday, March 12--12:30 p.m. Trail Conditions: Fair to Very Good New Snow in the last 24 hours: None Just received a note from the Trail Coordinator saying the groomers are out again today. One tractor was doing the White Pine Pine (McGuires-LeRoy) and the John Deere in the Caberfae area would be doing forest trails. He indicated that after this morning, with the rain forecast for tonight and tomorrow, we "might" park the groomers and stop grooming for the season unless we get some major snow later next week. Check back here for updates. The snow in the forest is the last to go so for you die-hard sledders, you might want to consider trailering to the staging area off 33 Rd or the one near M-55 off Caberfae road for direct access to the forest trails.

 Latest Snow: Sunshine -- Trail Report: The winter season is definitely over, and we're easing into the spring mushroom season. We enjoyed some very warm temps last week. Extremely dry though, as evidenced by the Grayling fire. That was a scary thing to be so close! ... Rain is expected in this weekend and with warm temps that should mean the mushrooms will start popping. -- Photos --- Complete Report --- More Report Links |

 Latest Snow: Calling for 1-2 inches of system snow, then lake effect. -- Trail Report: Greetings Sledders, Well it's been awhile which is a testimonial to how busy it's been around here and on the trails with grooming and a little riding mixed in from time to time. Managed a great ride last week with lifelong friends the brothers Currie, Robin and a much younger Gary, sorry Robin had to throw it in. Gary and I went to high school together and it's safe to say that our participation was more along the lines of recreation than education. We hooked up with My Big Fat Buddha Buddy and rode to the Range 40 Complex to get our fill of two A-10 drivers that put on a show of what those birds can do. I called the tower beforehand and knew that the show would begin at 1:30, we arrived at ten to and Buddha was fast asleep by one. Funny site, a Buddha figure dressed up in a snowmobile suit snoring on a sled. I was nice and woke him up when the jets came in. Rode around 80 miles yesterday with our good friend Terry Richardson ( CSM Ret ) just to see how the trails held up after the rain event Sunday night. More on the trails later. Mother Nature has been good to us with regard to the timing of thaws and rain fall as they have been occurring during low to non-existent traffic periods which has saved our bacon more than once this season. LET'S DO IT: WEATHER: We aren't expecting any major snow amounts over the next few days. Maybe some from a clipper and possibly some LES Thursday and Friday. Temps look to stay in line until sometime next week. TRAILS: The trail segments that took the biggest hit are those most traveled like the Frederic trail. By "hit" I mean icy conditions. None of the trails we were on yesterday showed any dirt and some had more snow than others but all were rideable, flat and tight from the freeze after the rain. We currently have four sledders in and all are pleasantly surprised by the conditions. Off trail remains very good with plenty of snow to play in. GROOMING: Right now everything is flat which was done on Sunday before the sun got too intense and before the rain started. With very little traffic to speak of there's no need to groom a flat surface and waste program money. We'll start back up when needed or after we get more snow. GROOMER STATS: We will end up somewhere in the vicinity of 6000 groomed miles for the season. Best year that I can recall prior to this season we groomed around 3200 miles. It's no wonder that we've been busy. Unless we get hit with a big snow event yet this month, this will be the last report of the season. Should we get a storm the next report will be snow totals and a quick grooming update. Sandy and I would like to thank everyone who stayed with us this season. Your patronage has helped to make this a banner year here at Fay's. Sandy's mushroom report will start up in May and my Grouse and Woodcock report will probably not start until Fall although I will start training the Girls as soon as the snow makes it's exit. Thanks again and, Ride Often and Please Be Safe, Keith, Sandy and The Girls -- Photos --- Complete Report |

| Trail Report: After talking with John, the "horny" groomer last night, he said that the bluebear and cranberry lake and alba connector are good, he was going to groom today as well and thru the weekend. We haven't heard about the jordan valley, but it's mostly in the woods, so I'm sure it's pretty decent too. The trail along 131 is spotty .. but easy to get around the bad parts! Amazing that they have held up so well this late in the season, but we had a LOT of snow to go thru!!! Get up here and ride for the last ride of the season, trails close April 1st. --- Complete Report --- More Report Links |

Conditions: Poor To Fair Updated: 04 / 04 By: Northcountry |
 Trail Report: It is 25 this morning but yesterday was a sunny, spring day with temps in the 50's and mid 40's for most of the day. The next several days look to be the same. HAIL TO SPRING! PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THERE IS AN 11:00 P.M. CURFEW IN THE VILLAGE OF NEWBERRY TASA TRAIL REPORT; 4/4/08 Before I go any further, on behalf of TASA, I want to thank all of you that purchased trail permits in Michigan this year. If it weren't for you, we would not be able to maintain the trails and equipment. With it being in the low 50's yesterday and plenty of sun, the snow and ice is mush in many places. You can still ride but you are going to want to do it VERY, VERY early a.m. while it is still cold or extremely late at night. Please be advised that getting gas and food (but especially gas) is going to be very tricky at this point. Many places have closed and those that are open, it will be difficult to get to due to lack of snow coverage in and out of towns. TASA groomed # 9 North the night of the blizzard (and the heavy, wet 10" of snow). There were so many downed trees on the north trail that it took Groomer Louie twice as long to just get to the north end of the trail. He had a lot of tree trimming to do. By the time Groomer Jeff relieved Louie at the other end and Jeff was making his way back, the sun was already getting high in the sky and snow was balling up, even just panning. Groomer Dan headed out on #45 (The Falls trail) Wednesday night (after it finally got down to about 33 degrees). He also had a chain saw with him and managed to pan and cut trees as far as CR 500 before he ran out of chain saw gas. It never got below freezing the whole time he was out there. Dan did not encounter any sleds but he said it looked like there may have been about 4 "fresh" sled tracks through the trail. I AM PRETTY SURE THAT TASA IS PARKED UNTIL WE START UP AGAIN NEXT SEASON! AS ALWAYS, I WANT TO THANK KAY FROM GRAND MARAIS, DON AND DIANE REED FROM SENEY FOR CONSISTANTLY PROVIDING ME WITH COPIES OF THEIR TRAIL REPORTS. GRAND MARAIS TRAIL REPORT (as reported by Kay) 4/2/08 8:30 a.m. - Quick Update - Groomers removed a bunch of trees. They panned trails #8, #888, the northern part of #443 , and the east part of #88. They will be fair to good today but temperatures are rising with 39 to 44 degree days over the next 4 days with fairly warm nights. SENEY TRAIL REPORT (as reported by Diane Reed) Well, we had hoped the snow storm and the extended season would give us another week at least but mother nature had other plans. There is plenty of snow and the trails have all been groomed but the temps reached 50 yesterday and today, and are predicted to tomorrow also. You can still ride out of town if you are okay with riding thru some dirt and probably a lot of slush to get to the better stuff which is also going to be soft. The storm was very wet heavy snow with high winds and there are lot of branches and broken limbs scattered throughout the trials. I am afraid that the last chance riders of this weekend will be the end of it. The groomers are parked for the season unless we get some colder temps before the 6th when the season officially ends. -- Photos --- Complete Report |

Conditions: Poor To Fair Updated: 04 / 04 By: Sault Snow Report |
![]() Trail Report: The trails are in good to poor condition. The trails are still very rideable but temps during the day have been in the low 40's the last 2 days and only down to mid 20's at night, they are going fast. Still great amounts of snow in the woods off the groomed trails. Watch out for some slushy spots developing in the trails. There is some wet areas coming back along the sides of trails as the runoff and spring melt takes place. There is still a good amount of snow on most trails, but not what I would call great sledding [like Feb] but it is very rideable and you will enjoy it. I don't believe it will get cold enough at night to do any more grooming. The Downtown trail is closed. Trail #8 - Sault to Brimley - Base 1 -3 inches -Is in good to poor condition. Shoulders are bare in Brimley. Trail #8 - Brimley to Raco - Base 1 - 3 inches -Is in good condition. The sun has the shoulders melted off when going through Brimley. When crossing the bridge in Brimley please go with the flow of traffic, if you don't you will be ticketed. Trail #8 - Raco to Naomikong - Base 2 - 6 inches - Is in good condition. Lots of snow off the trail on USFS roads. Trail #49, 497, & 449 [inside the Sault] - Base 1 - 3 inches-Is in good condition. Trail #49 - Sault to Kinross - Base 1 - 4 inches - Is in good to poor condition. The downtown trail is closed. Martin Cottle, Grooming Chairman Sault Ste.

| Trail Report: LAST CHANCE TO RIDE! Forecast calling for almost 50 today, but 40-ish for the weekend. Depite the warm temps, the bases on most of the major trails are holding up and am confident they will through the weekend. What we do recommend is to talk to the folks where you plan to stay to see which of the close-by trails are in the best shape. Roads, parking lots, etc. are bare...and be aware you may into some icy areas and you'll likely run into a some wet places-ride accordingly...and as always slow down on corners. If you do want that ONE MORE TIME...it's now. STAY OFF ANY LAKES... Just too iffy at this time of year...besides we have miles of trails in great shape. So don't miss this last chance to ride. Season officially ends April 6th. --- Complete Report |
