Ironwood Trail Report – 03/05
IRONWOOD / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority – ORV & Snowmobile Club – 03/05
TONIGHT: 160 will be groomed completely. Trails 2 & 8 will be groomed completely from Wakefield and east. Trail 11S will also be groomed completely. Single digit lows will allow quick tightening up of trails. But they will fade fast as the heat sets in during late afternoons. We suggest trailering to Wakefield and parking at the “Park and ride” spots noted in the post shared below. Areas with no southern side tree cover are baking considerably today as the temperature is climbing several degrees higher than forecast. The crew spent 8 HOURS last night bring snow onto the trail near Walmart and through trail 2’s “Ski hill” section. It’s tedious, grueling and stressful work but we know how coveted these last few days are and we are doing everything we can to make them the best possible.
You can support our all volunteer efforts by purchasing a $25 or $45 membership or sponsoring us. http://gogebicrangeta.org/membership/

Our all-volunteer crew doesn’t quit! We had a mud spot on trail 2 at Highway 2 crossing east of Bessemer. VP/Trail Boss Jerry and Eric “Shorty” decided to take some ribbon down and bring snow onto the trail. At 7pm last night they did the same thing near Walmart/Trail 160 intersection using a groomer with a front blade and a groomer with a drag. Grooming plans tonight will be to continue bringing snow back onto the trails on main corridors. If temps allow we hope to groom as much as possible for your likely finaly Saturday ride. Hats off to all Western U.P. clubs who have been going wide open the last week working to make conditions as favorable as possible. Trails remain rated fair with good trails out away from towns.

That's awesome going to come up later this year.
ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP - The season is over. I was hopeful that we would get a storm before April 1st, but the forecast doesn't look good for snow. We had a tough season with low snow, and break downs, but managed to groom about 10,000 miles.
A big thanks to groomer Greg Dye, Jason Pragacz, President Groomer Mikey Olsen, Mac and PJ, and Kristin. These are 6 people that wear many hats and do everything it takes to operate this club.
A huge thank you to the landowners, our sponsors, and members. We couldn't do it without your support... #ontonagon #westernup
10,000 miles is still a lot of miles to groom at 10mph. I’m sure it’s not the norm for you, but I’d say that’s still not bad considering the year it was. Good job.
6 people away from having no club really. Scary.
Thank you !!
Thanks so much for all you do 👊
I was permanently cured of STDs after using the herbal medication I got from Dr Olujimi a traditional herbalist whom I came across online shared by a lady on how she got cured of her Stomach Cancer, and today I'm here healthy and strong again in life, thank you Dr Sambi 🙏.
