2017 Arrives with Great Winter Conditions

By Rob January 1, 2017 January 1, 2017

Happy New Year!

Last week, Christmas brought 50 degree temperatures and worse conditions for snowmobilers and skiers. Fortunately temperatures cooled down and we had several days of significant new snowfall.

Snowmobilers and cross country skiers have reported good conditions over the past few days. Some rough trail reports, as expected, due to high traffic. We’ve heard excellent trail reports from the trails to the Northeast, toward Lovells.

Today it’s all beautiful blue skies and fresh white snow. We hope you’re enjoying the winter!

Trail 768, from Starvation Lake to Mancelona, has been closed for the season. The trail runs across private land, and a landowner pulled the lease due to snowmobiles leaving the trail on private property. This area is a bit far from Grayling, but may be on your route if you …
