Currently 35 degrees and rain in Moran. Groomers are parked. The trails are slush and need time to freeze. Our plan is to save what base we can in the northern areas as soon as it gets cold enough, we will update later in the week

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Another quickly-moving Clipper will bring a round of widespread, light snow beginning this evening, followed by lingering lake effect snow across the NW wind snow belts for Tuesday. Totals of an inch or less are expected for most of the UP, but where lake effect snow occurs, up to 2-5in of snow is possible tonight through Tuesday evening. As winds pick up early Tuesday, patchy blowing snow may contribute to reduced visibility in the NW wind snow belts.

Lake Gogebic Trail Report – 01/17

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – 01/17

Currently 31° here in Bergland with light snow. Rain or drizzle finally changed over around 1:30 eastern time. The temperature hasn’t fluctuated much in the past 2 days to allow anything to freeze up. We will be holding machines back again today to prevent more damage to our trail system. Sorry for any inconvenience, we want to be out there doing our thing as much as everyone else does. Finger’s crossed we can get tracks turning again tomorrow..
