Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 03/25
Officially the trails are open until April 1st. All clubs are no longer grooming due to the weather. You can still get some last minute riding in which would be fair. You will encounter icy spots, running water and some standing water so use caution if you are riding for one last time. Thank you for the great season and we hope to see you again next year. Have a great summer.
THE GOGEBIC RANGE TRAIL AUTHORITY Monday 25th. I have no new report from the GRTA but grooming has stopped due to the weather.
THE GOGEBIC AREA GROOMERS

What a difference a day can make! Gogebic Area Groomers have reported that they are done for the season. Warm temps and wet spots are not conducive for grooming. We want to thank everyone who came to visit us this season. Itfs a sad time when we shut down for the season!! We appreciate all those who came to ride and we hope to see you back here again next season!!

Thanks for sharing
Done!
Would of been nice for an opinion section for comments
Daily trail passes for people who only get a day or two to ride up there with families maybe half price for one day
Lots of variables left out. Oh well I am sure they get the gist of what they want.
I’m sure speed limits will solve everything 🙄
Thought it would be fun to take this survey and see if any questions apply to me. Living on Mackinac island I ride every single day during winter not for fun but as regular transport to and from work etc. but we dont have any snowmobile trails, only public roads.
I took the survey had to push the last three or four times to get it to respond that the records were recorded I’m not sure why
Thank you to all the landowners, volunteers, and our great community for the amazing support at our event last night! BIG Congratulations to our sponsor of the year, the Moonshine Riders! The club would not be where it is today without our volunteers! HUGE congratulations to our groomer operator of the year Scott Segel and volunteer of the year Jerry Nezworski! THANK YOU all for coming out to help us celebrate our 45th year of grooming in the western end of the U.P. !
Thank you guys for all of the hard work you put into the trails!!
Nice turnout
Well deserved 👏! I know what you were talking about. Thanks for your help.
Was a great event, nice job well done
Nice job to all
Great job and unlimited thanks to everyone at GRTA!!! Moonshine Riders
Just want to say thank you Steve 'wfo' Hamilton and Jerry Nezworski. I was extremely honored to have accepted this great gift. I think all of our volunteers do what they can for this great club. Being a little (okay a lot) choked up as you were presenting this to me, no words were able to be spoken at the presentation. Thank you again guys.
Thank you ALL!!
Good work
