Guys planning on coming up February 16-19. Want to ride but can’t find lodging near Newberry for Saturday night. We called Curtis and nothing is available there until Sunday either. We can’t get there until Saturday so we thought why not ride out from St Ignace if conditions are good enough. Might stay south go to Naubinway for vintage sled show up to newberry over to trout lake and back

Is this realistic with current conditions?

Thanks,
Kirk

Yes--Conditions are great right now. Calling for 8"-12" Tuesday and 2"-4" on Wednesday.

Starting to put the tree line up to Mackinaw Island.

Our group is headed up tomorrow morning to St. Ignace. Staying at the Budget Host.

If you haven't reserved rooms yet--you'd better hurry. LaBatt Blue Pond Hockey Tournaments are that weekend.

Cross the Border, Ride in Ontario. Lodging is cheaper there and it will make up for higher Gas prices and the Trail permits.

I have reservations at the Super 8 in St Ignace, so thats not an issue. Lots of places are full for Fri and especially Sat for the pond hockey tourament.

Well folks I must report that conditions were great. We rode a loop from Naubinway to Newberry, down thru Curtis and Engadine and back to Naubinway and trails were great..
Today we trailered to Cedarville, rode to Drummond Island, put 50 miles on while there and they were the best trails I have rode in a long time! Simply amazing is all I can say. 7 sleds including us on the Ferry going over, only the 2 of us coming back. 10 more sleds waiting at the dock in DeTour when we got there. Not big mileage, 130ish today but we had a blast.
Tomorrow’s plan is Mackinac Island before we head home....
It’s all snow folks, only snirt is where logging operations are going on!

Nice work, good timing and weather made this one happen.

How were the trails near Raco, MI?

Didn’t make it up there, but talked to a group who rode from Newberry thru Brimley and on to the Soo and said those trails were great also
