We have more white fluffy snow coming down. Snow is in the forecast for the next couple of days. Temps will be in the 20’s with lows in the teens.

The Gogebic Range Trail Authority: Reports both groomers are up and running. Trail 2, 8 and 160 are all freshly groomed. Trails 11S and 11N still have not been groomed due to an issue with one of the groomers which is now back up and running. Trail 11N is supposed to be groomed today. Trails are all snow covered and in good conditions.

The Lake Gogebic groomers report: With all the new snow we have gotten in the last couple of days trails are in great shape. All trails are in good to very good condition. Groomers are out running continuously on all trails to keep them in the best possible shape. PLEASE REMEMBER TO PULL OVER IF YOU SEE A GROOMER. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY…

The Watersmeet groomers reports: All trails are groomed and are in good to very good conditions. Trails in the Bruce Crossing area are also groomed and are in good condition. Use caution on trail 8 between Trout Creek and Ewen the snow is thinner in this area but still rideable.

Keep in mind groomers can be out day or night so watch out for them and please pull over or slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by.

Please be careful on corners as you know several Michigan Trail signs have been discontinued. These signs are posted on our trail map. PLEASE BE SAFE!!!!
