Trails deteriorated from recent rain and warm temps. Now frigid has returned to firm up the trails. There are thin spots but still rideable. We are grooming. Major incoming snowstorms always welcome for the trails and lake level. Ride Les Cheneaux trails and use the services of our supporting merchants.

St Ignace is out grooming. We have a groomer heading north on 49 soon. I haven't seen anything that would scare me from riding anywhere in the EUP. There may be some thin spots, but nothing too bad.

Jim groomed from Cedarville to m134/Mac trail today. Minimal snow with the warmup and some bare spots but definitely still a decent ride. Trail will degrade further till we get cold weather again. The normal wet spot on Mac trail powerline opened up some and filled it with snow to help for a while (see pic) Take it slow and cautious

We are grooming our trails. We are seeing welcome accumulations to help build the base. Trails are much improved – very good. Temperatures are forecasted to maintain the necessary cold. No wet or soft spots. We see snow in the forecast over the next few days. Bring it on! A major incoming snowstorm always great for the trails and lake level. Ride Les Cheneaux trails and use the services of our supporting merchants. FYI – we have added trail access to Yooperman’s from #47.

Important note! We have a new, impressive, VERY strong bridge over Nunn’s Creek. Impressive is not exaggerating. The 7 mile by-pass for “bridge out” on St. Ignace Road has been eliminated! Snowmobiles have avoided riding the eastern UP because of the by-pass situation. We thank our club members for their hard work in pursuing multiple approvals and funding for this bridge. You will enjoy riding our trails again with the new bridge.

Finally, conditions have improved. We received at least 6″ of new snow, and all trails have been groomed. Temperatures are forecasted to maintain the necessary cold. No wet or soft spots. Cumulative snowfalls are necessary to build a suitable base and we see more snow coming next few days. In summary, our trails are solid and groomed. Need incoming major snowstorms to maintain the trails, and to help the lake level. Ride Les Cheneaux trails and use the services of our supporting merchants. FYI – we have added trail access to Yooperman’s from #47.

Important note! We have a new, impressive, VERY strong bridge over Nunn’s Creek. Impressive is not exaggerating. The 7 mile by-pass for “bridge out” on St. Ignace Road has been eliminated!

We had extreme winds yesterday and there are trees down. These will be removed today.

No, not yet. We have early signs of winter, but warming trends with rain events are forecasted. We need snow and cold to establish a good base for the trails. We advise avoiding our trails at this point of early winter. Let us get the trails ready for riding. Will advise when it is GO time.

Our day started out good with fresh snow, but around the second corner the work started . Pulled down the tree and cut it up with just limbs and brush left. We ran #47 to #491 and turned around at trail #49 . Trail is rideable, but watch for a few wet spots and sticks under the snow. Watch for trucks and hunters . Ride right. Ride Smart. Thanks Bill Giddens for help. Groomer Brian

Just made a run to DeTour Village from the east groomer barn on M-48. Packing the trail, moving trees, logs, and brush. The trail is passable, but early season riding. Trail is soft and still has wet spots with rocks under the snow to watch out for. Ride Right, Ride Smart. Let's have a long and safe winter. Thanks to helper Brian Beckwith. Brian McAdam

Winter has arrived. Les Cheneaux has the start of snow – wet & heavy, but it will take more snow with cold temperatures to build a proper trail base. We advise avoiding our trails at this point of early winter. Let us get the trails ready for riding. Will advise when it is GO time.
