Cross Country Skiing & Fat Tire Trail Updates 
● Michigan Tech – Uppers are groomed and tracked. Headed to the Lowers at 9. Should be finishing up in the Competition Trails around 11-11:30. The Trails are grooming out spectacularly and setting up well. Conditions are excellent and the sun is shining. Who could ask for more? (2/21/2025)
● Calumet Lake Winter Trails - Wrestled the snowblower around the Lake Trail. Would recommend snowshoes as I may have gotten off track on the edges of the trail in places. Hopefully the groomer hitch gets welded tomorrow so we can start compacting the trails again. (2/21/2025)
● Swedetown – Looking like the snow may finally take a break for a few days! All trails were freshly groomed with the Husky today as of 2:30 pm, though we were out working on packing snow in our race stadium until about 4 pm. There are some 'snow bombs' falling from the trees with the sunny skies, but otherwise the trail has set up well with the cold temperatures and the skiing conditions are great. Companion tracks were rest on Valley, Greenstone, Cedar, and Tamarack. Enjoy your ski! (2/20/2025)
● Swedetown Snow Bike - Loops 1-3 have been double dragged this morning and should set up good. Loops 4 and 5 have not been groomed today and will have fresh powder on them. The sun is shining and it will be an awesome day to ride!☀️ ● Chassell Trails - We dragged the banks on both sides of the trail, groomed, and tracked. It's a beautiful day for a ski! (2/20/2025)
● Chassell Snowshoe Trails - Even with the addition of 15" of snow during the period from last night back into the week before, the net gain on the measuring sticks in the woods is only about 4". About 29" average from the reads. Blue, Green, and Orange trails have been walked over today or yesterday. The bottom half of the Yellow trail is likewise completed. Upper section will be done come Thursday. The areas near the Latendresse fields to the west will have drifting with a 100' distance into the woods. (2/18/2025)
● Maasto Hiihto – All trails tracked except for Mud Lake area. (2/20/2025)
● Churning Rapids – All trails tracked except for Sunset. (2/20/2025)
● Churning Rapids Snow Bike - Trails were groomed with two passes on Wednesday evening. Hopefully decent riding conditions for Thursday. Could be a little soft with the consistent snowfall we’ve been getting. (2/19/2025)
● Eagle Harbor – 100% groomed. Great conditions. Snowmobile still has mechanical issues and grooming schedule is infrequent until repairs are made...hoping before this weekend. (2/18/2025)
