Ontonagon Area Trail Report – 02/27

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 02/27

THURSDAY NIGHT 2/27/2025
GROOMING UPDATE
President Mac and Groomer Operator Wyatt are headed out later this evening in our Lulich Implement, Inc. New Holland tractor and our 2022 PistenBully. We continue to have fuel trouble codes over-the-phone support couldn’t eradicate in PB19, so only two groomers out tonight. Groomer’s will be inspecting the trails for hazards, knocking down moguls and starting the painful task of setting trails back in. Please be patient with the area trail’s as our groomer runs take remarkably longer after a 5 night hiatus from regular grooming maintenance.

We are grooming “the loop” out of Ontonagon and the ROADS of the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park – the Porkies. Due to water along trail 1 from White Pine to Silver city, we cannot get our tractor in there to groom. We are also skipping short sections along the lake due to marshes filling back up destabilizing the trail base for the big tractor. We just can’t risk getting stuck! All of this is a plan and subject to change due to mechanical issues or changes in trail conditions, which we will relay.

Forecasts are calling for 1-12″ of fresh snow. Having our second night of grooming back in action tomorrow night, Friday, SATURDAY RIDING SHOULD BE SOMETHING SPECIAL!

Thank you to all the volunteers across the UP making this snowmo-tourism machine work!

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins >> 02/26

Snowmobile Trail Report – Ontonagon Area
I took a 50-mile loop today, riding Trail 137 out of Ontonagon to Rockland, Trail 13 from Rockland to Greenland, and Trail 12 back to Ontonagon. Despite the recent warm-up, I was pleasantly surprised by the overall good to excellent conditions.

Trail 13 was freshly groomed in some sections, making for a smooth and enjoyable ride. There were a few short areas with exposed ground and wet/slushy spots, but nothing major. Trail 12 from Greenland was the roughest section, mainly because a groomer hadn’t been through in several days, so it was on the bumpier side. I also encountered a few short stretches of snirt, but again, nothing that significantly impacted the ride.

The good news is that a couple of inches of fresh snow are expected before the weekend, and colder temps are returning, which will help firm things up. Once groomers are back in full operation, conditions should improve even more.

It’s not quite as perfect as before the warm-up, which had some of the best riding I’ve seen in years, but we still have plenty of snow and great riding conditions in the western U.P. Don’t let the recent warm stretch scare you off—there’s still lots of fun to be had!
