If Munising doesn't have snow...where to?

I have a trip planned on 1/12 to go to Munising and ride the trails. If Munising does not have adequate snow I was just going to keep driving west.

Where would you go to as a second/closest place? I'm driving from Ohio.

Thanks

As things stand at this very moment, it would be from Houghton, or maybe Twin Lakes north to Copper Harbor. I have picked up just over 20" of snow since Saturday, with many areas from Houghton north seeing similar snow.

With that said, things look to change dramatically in all of the LES belts of the UP in the coming days, so you should be just fine with the Munising area next week.

That is what I'm hoping. I was just looking at your forecast. North wind!

I guess that I'm just going to plan for the worst ;) The truck can use some serious fuel and I'd like to keep it to a minimum.

Planning for the worst is always wise, but I would be VERY surprised if you will not be able to have good conditions in the Munising area by the 12th. So I would not cancel anything there unless you have to. The changes will start to happen as soon as tomorrow and Friday.

20" of new snow?

John you said you have recieved 20 new inches on snow since saturday. I am just curious why that does not reflect in the AL cam at your place. the 12 inch mark is not even covered. I know that the trees have something to do with this but I am just curious as to why the total has not gone up. Thanks

I am aware of that. But it doesn't look as though it has moved at all though. Can't believe 20" of fluff settles to nothing....

Slimcake, I'm with you.

Polarice I feel your "pain". Headed up north for the same time frame. However my trip starts by air from Orlando, FL., into Cleveland, OH., load the sleds and head north.
I've been on weather sites for days. It is starting to look fine, finally.

And JD, we fellow JD'ers have tremendous faith in you. No pressure you understand. lol.

Cleveland should have plenty at that time! Just ride around there :)

That's a rough one from Cleveland. I suppose that it would be like me going to L'anse from where I'm at though, and I'm sure that I'll eventually do that trip.

Think snow!

Did you ride trails or off trail?

Both. One day on trail and one day completely off. The trails weren't the greatest initially because they were just getting the snow but the groomers ran around the clock and there was very light traffic so by the second day they were smooth and packed down, clean corners etc.

The off trail was awesome. No real frozen base so you needed to watch it some but there was so much fluff that it compensated. I have a 2" paddle track on one of my sleds and it could dig to the dirt if I worked at it but overall conditions were great.
