Ontonagon Area Trail Report – 03/13
ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 03/13
NCSC groomers Wyatt and Jay are heading out from Ontonagon as I’m writing this. They will be doing the grade (Trail 137) to Greenland (Trail 12). They’ll turn around and head back to the junction. The plan is to take 12 to LP Walsh Rd. Then take Trail 101 to 13. Then 13 back to the grade (137) and take the grade back to Ontonagon.
Tonight Groom Chad, out of White Pine, will do Lake of the Clouds (LOTC) (Trail 1) and South Boundary (Trail 11).
Please ride right and ride carefully. There are still water areas and blowing snow, reducing visibility.
Be safe and please come North to DA UP, and enjoy our winter snowmobiling season. You should be able to ride until the grooming stops at the end of the month.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins >> 03/12
Winter is making its presence known tonight through Friday.
❄ A significant snowstorm is expected, and travel could become difficult quickly.
If you must be on the roads, please drive carefully, give yourself extra time, and watch out for plows and emergency crews. Your safety—and the safety of others—comes first.
If you don’t have to travel, it might be a good time to stay in, stay warm, and let’s all talk this storm down together. ☕
Let’s look out for one another and get through this safely. Stay warm and stay safe, everyone..

FROM Gogebic Area Grooming >> Another productive weekend in the books for Gogebic Area Grooming.. We'd like to Thank each and every person that volunteered their time to help us get the trail's in shape for the upcoming season.
We can't do it by ourselves and your help is not overlooked.
Thank you!!
Also a shout-out to Zack from Cummins of De-Pere Wisconsin for their prompt service on one of our machines. Excellent job!
It's been a busy few weeks with just over a month before the season starts hopefully we'll be ahead of the game.
