Sno Valley Riders: We have groomed all of our trails. There are still many limbs drooping out into the trails, so watch out!

We have made all trails passible, however trail 3 between Bruce Crossing and Rockland still has many limbs drooping into the trail, we have brushed a large portion of it and will be finishing the rest in the next few days.

Please watch out for the brush on the trails until we are finished!

Please DO NOT climb the "Military Hill" from the highway, US 45, to the fence, we have ongoing erosion issues there and the hill climbers are adding to the problem. YOU COULD CAUSE THIS MAJOR TRAIL TO BE CLOSED IF YOU CONTINUE!

Watch for the groomers, they take up most of the trail and have the right of way!

Please pull over and DIM your lights for them, they have a long night out there.

Remember, you can get off the trail, the groomer can not.

Please ride on right side of the trail, STOP at the stop signs and treat the YEILD signs appropriately.

Trail #3 North to Rockland is FAIR on the south end and POOR on the north end.

Trail #8 from Ewen to trail #3 North is GOOD.

Trail #3/8 East from Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 South intersection is GOOD.

Trail #3/8 West from Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 North intersection is GOOD.

Trail #3 South from the railroad grade to the CC road is GOOD.

Trail #8 from the trail #3 South intersection to Trout Creek is GOOD.

Trail #8 from Trout Creek to Kenton is GOOD.

Trail #8 from Kenton to Sidnaw is GOOD.

Trail #8/15/109 from Sidnaw to Bob Lake is GOOD.

Sno Valley Riders: The trails have frozen up nicely and we are getting some more snow so the they are looking real nice again. We are down one groomer so for a couple days we will not be able to groom all trails every day, we will alternate days on each trail. We should have this resolved in a few days and we will be back to all trails groomed once each day.

Sounds about right since Baraga doesn’t groom the western portion of their trails
