Ironwood Trail Report – 02/11
IRONWOOD / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority – ORV & Snowmobile Club – 2/11
We have received a foot of dry lake effect powder in the last two days and have had another 4-10in in the 6 days prior. Trails have drifting and blowing snow on or across them. All 3 groomers are running nightly thanks to our incredible team of volunteers. Trails are rated very good to excellent. We are day 1 of a busy superbowl weekend, corners will get icy, ride right, STOP🛑 at the STOP signs. Even if it is unplowed….our law enforcement teams sit on busy roads next to trails waiting for folks to ignore stop signs.

FROM Gogebic Area Grooming >> Another productive weekend in the books for Gogebic Area Grooming.. We'd like to Thank each and every person that volunteered their time to help us get the trail's in shape for the upcoming season.
We can't do it by ourselves and your help is not overlooked.
Thank you!!
Also a shout-out to Zack from Cummins of De-Pere Wisconsin for their prompt service on one of our machines. Excellent job!
It's been a busy few weeks with just over a month before the season starts hopefully we'll be ahead of the game.
