First snow storm of the season arrives Monday night into Tuesday morning. The forecast is calling for 5 inches of snow. Groomers may be able to go out and do some initial panking, panning and rolling. However, we will need more snow than is in the forecast to get to decent riding.

Tuesday morning…

The National Weather Service in Gaylord has issued a Winter Storm
Watch… which is in effect from Monday afternoon through Tuesday

December 26, 2015 – Since Christmas Eve we’ve received about 5 – 6 inches of new snow and, most importantly, temperatures are back to where they should be. Looks like highs in the 20’s and lows in the teens to as low as 10 degrees predicted for tomorrow night. Groomers have begun running the trails to “pank” the snow down and to make sure this recent heavy snow didn’t bring down anymore branches onto the trails. As soon as we receive enough snow they’ll be out on the trails with the drags attached. Please be advised to go slow on the trails as there isn’t a lot of snow down yet and there will most likely be some wet areas out there. Remember, ice has just started freezing well over this last week.

That’s all for now from Carolyn at the Hoop. For additional information about the Lake Gogebic area please visit the chamber website at www.LakeGogebicArea.com or call us at 1-888-464-3242 (888-GOGEBIC).
