Watersmeet Trail Report – 12/20
WATERSMEET / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via U.P. Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club – 12/20
Trail boss and is wife took a ride today. We hit every trail on our system except for trail 3 down to Lando which I figure to be similar to trail 2 with some ok and some rocks coming up.Trail 2 West of trail 13 ( the trail to Cisco) was pretty good with more snow the farther west you go. 13 to Cisco was fair, and trail 2 to town and east or Watersmeet was fair to ok at best with areas that had lots of rocks coming up especially in the middle of the trail. Trail 3 north of 2 was ok at best pretty rough because of lack of snow to fill in the potholes until getting close to Bonds Falls there it was pretty good and flat. Because of such a small base and only 3-4” of fluffy snow we will not be grooming until we can get some real snow to work with.
Merry Christmas! Think Snow!
