Pictured Rocks Lodge

We are up here for a few days and thought I’d share trail conditions.

Overall traffic was significantly reduced today. We rode from Waterfall Cabin to Melstrand and back. We were able to get on some logging trails to try out the new sleds.

Trail 422 is open but not being groomed due to the conflict between DNR and local road commission. Pretty sad.

We take trail 422 from our house south to H58. It is pretty bumpy, but kept it slow. It’s about 2 miles south to H-58.

Remaining trails were good shape. We started to go off-trail around Melstrand and found a lot of snow.

Trails south to the Jackpine Lodge were surprisingly good Saturday.

We are going out again tomorrow and will post more later.

We did get a couple of inches of Lake Effect last night. Maybe more to the North East. This and the cold temps sure do help.

We are going full steam this weekend. Please watch for groomers.
They will be out there.

Drag issues were repaired yesterday early.
We had to replace a hydraulic ram on the wing. We had a replacement on hand.
Thanks to George and Jeff for getting this done.

Get it while there is getting to be had..... Hope we get more snow today.

We came up for the weekend and was surprised at how much snow is on the ground. It has been a long time since I’ve seen mid-December look like February.

We rode from our house to Buckhorn and back. Trails were great. Off trail is better.

I have added a couple photos of our additional rentals now available. These properties are on parcels next to Pictured Rocks Lodge.

I just went out and took some measurements. We received 11” of snow yesterday and this morning. We received another 3 1/2” since our driveway was cleared at 12:30 today.

We are under a Winter Weather advisory until 7 am tomorrow.

Let it snow!!!

The main takeaway from todays report is that both groomers are running and scheduled for 2x runs a day for this weekend. We do appreciate the feedback and have a solid plan to ensure we are covering high traffic areas 2x a day.
Please ride safe and remember, groomers are out day and night. If you can not see ahead, always assume and ride like there is a groomer around every corner.

We have the Bison and drag all ready to go. The Loaner Bully is also ready. We are going to begin panning the trails when conditions permit. Currently we have 3 to 4 inches on the ground. Tomorrow it looks like we are going to get some more snow. We will be monitoring conditions closely. Hope we fin...
