We have only received a couple inches of snow since Monday and maybe four more inches forecast for Wed thru Thursday. The Gogebic Range Trail Authority reports grooming has stopped until further notice. Overall conditions are poor to fair and extremely icy. There will be a number of poor areas as the streets, highways and parking lots are bare.
Lake Gogebic area trail conditions are overall fair, but hard packed and icy in some areas. Groomers will be grooming when and where conditions allow. Trails south of the lake are in poor condition due to bare spots.
Watersmeet area trails are poor, but fair in the woods. Grooming has stopped and will not resume until weather permitting.

ABOUT THE ICE:
There is no such thing as "safe ice". If you choose to ride on a body of water, be sure you check with locals in the specific area you intend to ride and get current information on conditions in that area. When you ride on ice, you are doing so at your own risk.

Our 800# is still down so when calling you will not get a recording. Check back for updates and check out our webcams around the area at westernup.info ….

PHOTO REQUEST from us. If you have any neat snomo pictures you’re willing to share,we’re looking for a cover shot for next years map and other marketing uses. Can’t pay but will give a photo credit on inside of map. Send in jpg-300dpi-to bigsnow@westernup.info. Be aware anything you send will become the property of the WUPCVB so this request is more for amateur photographers…in other words, don’t send anything you may want to sell in the future. We appreciate any help on this.

Supposed to be fairly warm this week, with a chance of BIG snow mid-week. Snowmobile trails remain in great shape once you are out of town – still time for that last ride! Cross country trails at Chassell, Maasto, MTU & Swedtown still great shape! Lots of great spring skiing and riding still available.

The snowmobile trails from TwinLakes to CopperHarbor are open, and groomers are out working on them. Trails are reported to range from poor condtion in towns, near the lake and in low snow areas to good to very good condition in the woods. Please watch for icy trail corners.

Remember to watch out for the groomers when you’re out on the trails…….they have the right of way!!
There is logging on a short portion of Trail 133 between Gay and Lac La Belle.

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.
