Good morning it is monday and the area is looking good. We have over a foot of base from Greenland down with at least 8 inches in the Ontonagon area and Trail 12 from Greenland to Ontonagon groomed last night for the third time and in great shape with one wet spot about 200 yes in from where the trail crosses hwy M38 going west. There is a Beaver pond there that we did extensive work last night to freeze down the wet spot but other wise you will enjoy a perfect flat super highway into Ontonagon mi.

On the west side of Ontonagon going to White Pine we made it 3/4 of the way before running into a closed Forest gate that we were told would be open. The great people of the U S Forest Service are taking care of that as speak and we will be heading to White Pine and on To Silver City Later today. Our new Piston Bully and Dubbie Drag will groom a 15 ft wide sheet of glass for you tommorow on the south boundary .

Also there is now a new Trail head parking lot next to the Club House here off of Norwich tral rd straight across from the M64 Truck Stop so if you are looking for a place to park and ride come on up.

The snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open. The groomers are out and working on the trails and conditions are fair. Any trail usage should be done with extreme care as there are some wet areas not yet covered by snow and hazards that have not yet been identified. Remember to watch out for the groomers when you’re out on the trails, they have the right of way!!

Trail 133 will not be open until Sunday, December 15, 2013.

The protective mat on the Portage Lift Bridge between Houghton and Hancock will not be installed until the middle of December. Please drive carefully on the metal grating until the mat is installed…do NOT use the ice.

The Keweenaw Convention & Visitors Bureau asks that you stay on the trails, STAY OFF THE ICE, respect private property, do not drink and drive, and above all else, please, drive safely. The signs on the snowmobile trails are there for the riders’ safety. Please, DO NOT remove or destroy these signs.
