Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 01/12
Welcome to Winter Wonderland…. With more snow coming down things are improving. We received 9" of new snow since yesterday with 21" on the ground.
GOGEBIC RANGE TRAIL AUTHORITY are out grooming daily reporting trails are all in good to very good condition. 11S is in good shape, watch for logging trucks, signs are posted where they are logging. 160 is good with the exception of the portion they are logging by the Wisconsin boarder this part is fair.
Lake Gogebic Area groomers are out. Reporting with the new snow they received all trails are in good to very good conditions.
Watersmeet Area groomers went out again on Monday night. They are reporting the trails are in fair conditions. Some place are worse some are better. Use caution in the Bond Falls area they are logging in this area. So watch for logging trucks.
ABOUT THE ICE:
It’s time for our usual caution. There is no such thing as "safe ice" due to underwater currents. If you plan to go out, be sure you talk to locals where you intend to ride for more information about the ice depth and other factors…be aware you will be riding at your own risk.
Our 800# is down so when calling you will not get a recording. Hopefully it will be fixed soon!!! Check back for updates and check out our webcams around the area at westernup.info ….
