We are grooming and have had just enough snow to keeps the trails white and in good condition. No major issues to report. Yes you can ride out of St ignace. Brevort, Epoufette and Trout Lake areas are all good.

Everything is being groomed on a as needed basis. We are mostly flat and in good shape. The only issue to note is we do not have a big base on the rail road grade from Moran to St ignace. It is currently passable with a few thin spots and might get worse as the weekend gets busy. Our next snow chance comes on Saturday night. Overall you can expect a good ride in our area. Thank you!

We keep getting a little snow and grooming is taking place. Trails are improving. We still could use more snow from St ignace to just north of Moran but everything is passable. Our trackers are up and working great. We will update trail conditions in a few days. Thanks.

We had both groomers running last night and they are back out today. Yesterday's snowfall ranged from 8-15 inches of powder. Some places even a little more. It will settle down since it's so fluffy but we are looking good for the weekend. You now can ride out of St Ignace. The first 5 miles will be a little thin and still has frozen truck ruts so please be careful. Otherwise our entire system has enough snow to have an overall good ride. When conditions change we will update.

We received 4-6 inches in our area. It looks more like winter. As of now we still do not have enough snow to groom. Chances of snow this week and cold for the most part so it won't be long. We will update as soon as the groomers are moving. Thank you

Unfortunately we have had nothing to update in the last few weeks. The next chances of snow come in 5-6 days. We have bare grass in most of our area. We do have a hard ice base in the wooded areas of our trail system where we groomed last month so when snow comes we will be able to get trails in shape fairly quick. We will update when groomers are running. Thank you

We are parked until further notice. There is a flat base in most areas that will help us get going once the weather changes. If you do venture into the woods, use extreme caution as there is frozen truck ruts and water holes. When we are back grooming we will update our report.

With the roll coaster of weather in the last week, we are now freezing back up and going out to groom what we can this evening. Today we have been doing some trail maintence and training. St ignace area is very thin and wet while trout lake area is ridable. Continue to expect early season conditions in our area for the next few days at least. We look to be missing the lake affect snow. We are out doing everything we can with the snow we have. As soon as conditions change we will be sure to update our trails reports. Thank you. WD

Quick trail update. Currently we have plenty of snow, cold temperatures, active grooming and everything is in good shape. No issues in our area to report.
A lot of people have been asking about the possible ice bridge. We DO NOT report ice conditions. All ice is at your own risk.
When there is a major change in our trail conditions we will be sure to update. If this is the last update on our page please consider it accurate.
Thank you
Cold temps and active grooming. Our conditions should hold very similar for the next upcoming days. No issues to report, our system is all ridable, mostly flat and white. Potential for a few thin spots on the grade between St Ignace and Moran but not enough to stop you from making an overall good ride.

Yesterday did not do us any favors. We were holding up ok and then the short warm up really took action and it stayed warm well into midnight and now it's back to 20 degrees. We have been grooming and doing what we can to help the trails. Currently everything is very thin. There are several areas that are rideable but no good way to make a loop without running into open areas that have rocks and very little snow. We moved a groomer up to Trout Lake last night and did what we could to help the loop around town. We will groom that area again tonight.
Earlier this week several people were able to leave Moran and head north with good results but after yesterday's weather I would not recommend at this time. As soon as we have better news we will update. Thanks

We received just enough snow to start panning and grooming in some areas over the last few days. Expect very early type trail conditions. We do have a few water holes towards epoufette.
Also please be aware of mixed traffic in our area this time of year with late season hunting.
As soon as conditions change, we will update

Temps dipped into the teens last night. This should help firm up the trails. As of right now the groomers are remaining parked until we receive more snow. The last system that pushed through with all the lake effect did not give us anything to groom. We will update next Monday or if conditions change drastically. VP.
