Everything is nice and bright and white, we picked up 8 inches of new snow through this morning. Temps today will only be in the single digit with a high of 8. For the new 10 day temps will be in the 20’s and 30’s with a chance of snow. Our trails are in the best shape they have been in for years……come up and enjoy some great riding.

The Gogebic Range Trail Authority – I have no official word on the trails today. Groomers must be busy trying to get the trails in shape for our busy weekend after our blast of new snowfall. All trails have a firm base and are in good shape. We have gotten word from the DNR trail 11S will be closed due to logging this winter.

The Lake Gogebic groomer’s report: Grooming is ongoing. Trails are all in good to very good condition. No problems on the trails with great riding available. Please stay on trails..riding on unmarked trails jeopardizes our trail easements!!!! Please do not ride on the railroad tracks. The law enforcement has been out patrolling so please stay on trails.

The Watersmeet groomer’s report: Grooming is ongoing. Trails are in very good condition. Come out and getting some great riding in.

Please remember groomers are out both day and night, so watch for them, Please pull over or at least slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by whenever you see them.

JUST ONE MORE REMINDER: PLEASE STAY ON MARKED TRAILS. RIDING ON UNMARKED TRAILS CAN RESULT IN THE CLUBS LOSING EASEMENT FOR THAT TRAIL AND IT CAN ALSO RESULT IN A POSSIBLE TICKET FOR YOU.

February 4th, 2014 – The Gogebic Area Grooming trails continue to stay in excellent condition with daily grooming along with temperatures highs only reaching into the teens and well below zero for lows plus plenty of snow! Our groomer drivers are reporting no problems on our trails. Conditions look great for the extended forecast, with highs in the single digits and teens and most nights below zero and lots more snow!!

Once again local law enforcement has asked me to remind snowmobilers that it is against the law to ride on the railroad tracks that run through Merriweather and Bergland. In some areas the snowmobile trails do run parallel to the tracks so please look for trail signage to let you know you are riding in the right area. Law enforcement has been out patrolling these areas and will ticket anyone not using the trails.

That’s all for now from Carolyn at the Hoop. I will keep you posted as often as conditions change. For additional information about the Lake Gogebic area we invite you to visit the only official website of the Lake Gogebic Area Chamber of Commerce at www.LakeGogebicArea.com or call us at 1-888-464-3242 (888-GOGEBIC).

**Please be sure that wherever you are purchasing your snowmobile area map that the money collected will be going to Gogebic Area Grooming to help offset the costs of grooming the trails. Watch for the Gogebic Area Grooming sticker displayed at contributing businesses and/or Gogebic Area Grooming map boxes.
