Within 24 hours of breakdown and recovery we had a track from the blade of the KCSAS machine to the blade of our machine! Today the crew tackled putting the track on the machine and made quick work of it! Can’t thank our retired groomer/board member Doug for jumping into action to help out today! Mike, Phil, Doug, Benny, Rich, Pete and Tom were all hands on deck and we appreciate each of them and their efforts! The last 72 hours has been a great team effort by everyone that helped out. THANK YOU! We’re monitoring the weather this week and will take grooming day by day until the end of the week. Looks like Thursday/Friday will be our worse days with temps at or near 40, but the crews are in order to get everything groomed for the weekend after temps drop back down. Trails right now are the best they have been for this time of year in many years! Thank everyone for the kind words and support of our great volunteer’s and the hard work they have put in. Also thank you to the multiple people who have reached out or stopped by as we worked trailside asking if we needed a hand. <> <> Visit Jordan Valley Trails Council on Facebook >>>> <> Visit East Jordan Sno-Mobilers, Inc. on Facebook >>>> <> --- Complete Report --- More Report Links |

Our grooming operations will be resuming today / tomorrow depending upon our progress of removing downed trees blocking our trail segments. If you are riding and come across tree branches and other debris on the trail system, please stop and remove them from the trail instead of driving around them. This really helps speed up our trail cleanup efforts and will get the groomers out grooming sooner. Also, the new trail segment "Thompsonville Express" is now open. This new segment runs from Kaleva directly into Thompsonville crossing the new Bear Creak bridge. A big thanks goes out to DNR and AJ's Excavating for getting the new bridge constructed and opened early this season for us. <> Benzie-Manistee Snowmobile Club Facebook Page >>>> Website: www.benziemanisteesnowbirds.com <> --- Complete Report --- More Report Links |

As to the snow gauge experiment so far it appears that the biggest difference is the front yard gauge is in a more open and sunny area so it seems to settle/ melt faster then the backyard one that’s more protected by trees and shade. <> <> <> --- Complete Report |

All trails are currently rated in good condition throughout our county. Grooming is underway, but be sure to watch for drifts and ice in some areas. Be safe out there and have fun! Please note, due to last April’s ice storm, there are logging operations in several locations. Near the intersection of trail 7 & 4 (Waters) toward Dodge Lake is the newest operation. Logging is also taking place on trail #4 along the powerline that crosses Evergreen Drive and near Turtle Lake Road (East of Gaylord). The logging trucks may use the trail as a road at times. Proceed with caution in these areas. Trails are still passable and the groomers are doing their best to smooth the trails out in these areas. If this winter is anything like last year, it’s going to be another epic one! Want to be ready? Get a free trail map delivered right to your mailbox and plan your adventure!

| Trail Report: Although we need more, we’re thankful for the snow we got overnight. It’s about an inch of new stuff–pretty light and fluffy. We need more snow before we can groom but the south end of our trail system is actually in decent shape. There’s a little more snow down that direction and traffic has been light. We’re still dealing with water holes in a few spots on the north part of Trail 76. You’ll see a sign saying “WET AREA” right before the largest hole. They all should be frozen enough now to support snowmobile traffic. We’re in the mid-20’s and light snow is falling. The radar shows snow over us but the weather people say it will taper off this afternoon. We’ve got a light wind out there but overall it’s comfortable riding weather. Tonight we’ll dip down to single digits and may see a little light snow. So there you have it–conditions are good at the south end of Indian River and fair as you head north of town (just not as much snow). Enjoy your day out there and THINK SNOW!…Are you interested in a volunteer leadership position in our grooming club? We need a dedicated volunteer to assist the club president and learn the ropes before he retires. For more information visit our website and send an email. Thank you! WOLVERINE AREA UPDATE via The Thirsty Sturgeon - 1/16 Lots of snow expected this weekend AND tons of winter activities!!!! Mackinaw Winter Festival and Indian River Winterfest are both this weekend.

| Trail Report: Yesterday we had blizzard conditions followed by brief light rain followed by more snow. We measured 22" (deeper snow north) of dense snow on the ground this morning. On and off trail people are reporting "awesome" conditions and "the best we've seen." We have heard this from multiple groups heading in all directions. This morning, we are seeing additional accumulating snow and temps will remain cold through the weekend. We are not making daily updates to the trail report unless there is a change in condition. I will not update trail conditions over the weekend since temps will remain steady and trails are perfect. Trail conditions will change minute by minute, trail by trail, based on the amount of traffic since the trail was last groomed. Groomers are out doing their thing and conditions are favorable for them, as well. I am thankful for all of the dedication these people put into our trail systems. Please remember that due to the length of our trails it takes 12-16 hours to groom one way! 1/8/17 Boy! I really don't know what to tell you other than it hasn't stopped snowing. We have had accumulation every day for 5 days and measured two feet on the ground today. Riders have been all smiles, extending stays and reporting awesome conditions on and off trail. There are still come concerns regarding low lying areas to the south, so please follow groomer reports in regards to swamp/south trails. This is a low traffic period (prior to MLK weekend) and trails are beautiful. Things typically pick up this coming weekend and remain busy until the end of the season. You never know what the future will bring, but my hope is this pattern of beautiful lake effect will continue. Local clubs (Grand Marais sno trails, Seney, Paradise Area Night Riders and Taqhamamenon Area Snowmobile Assoc) are reporting trail closures, yellow flags or a section of trail that is closed. Please educate yourselves before you ride and ride safely. *** Trail report ends here *** Read below for vacancy :) We are receiving a lot of calls for the upcoming weekends. To save on time and phone calls- This week we have openings through Friday night, but no vacancy Saturday or Sunday 1/14 or 15. Openings resume Monday-Thursday with no vacancy 1/20 or 21. Vacancy resumes 1/22. Thank you! Ride right from your door in a different direction each day! We are located 12 mi NW of Newberry (Halfway to Lk Superior) and 7 miles south of Pine Stump Junction.

Lake effect snow forms when cold air moves across the relatively warmer waters of Lake Superior. As that air travels over the lake, it absorbs heat and moisture. Once it reaches land, the air rises, cools, and releases that moisture as snow — often in narrow bands that can linger for hours or even days. How is it different from “system snow”? System snow comes from large, organized storms that show up clearly on radar and affect wide areas. Lake effect snow is local and shallow, meaning one town can be getting hammered while another just a few miles away stays dry. Why doesn’t it always show up on radar? Because lake effect snow clouds are low and thin, radar often has trouble detecting them — even when snow is steadily piling up on the ground.

| Latest Snow: #paradise,#newberry -- Trail Report: PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 01/06 1/6/26 30 degrees this morning and cloudy. Been a touch on the warm side the last couple days and it looks like it will stay that way till the weekend. Doesn`t help us much....especially in our wet areas! We cannot open the gates on the Falls trail #45 yet and our infamous swamp south of town is nasty and those gates remain closed. Further south of town we had a spot open up more on the power line and in the Federal forest section of trail #8 we had a big spot open up. You can get by these spots but you have to be careful. The rest of trail #8 south is beautiful! We ran the Point trails #452 & #453 yesterday and they turned out great. We also ran the Stump trail #8 and that's all good except where the loggers have it plowed down. Sorry I haven`t been on here much but we`ve been very busy trying to get the trails in shape. We`ll keep at it but the weather hasn`t been too much help! Keep checking back and I`ll try to keep ya`ll updated. The weather looks like it will change back to normal by next week. We should be able to hold on but the wet areas will be a problem. LET `ER SNOW...............and get cold again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| Latest Snow: #soo -- Trail Report: SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 01/05 1/5/26 This is wild to me! Dennis just got back from his run on trail 49 from the Soo to 12 mile. I ran this route with groomer Jay for several seasons. The branches being this low on 1/5 is nuts! This entire trail was brushed, but the base is so tall now that the machine is so much higher that it’s hitting the branches that couldn’t be reached in the fall. We don’t usually see this until mid February. We may need to organize a work bee to do some in-season brushing. I’ll share if we do! Thank you Dennis and Chris for the ride along! <> <> Sault Ste.
