ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> Trail Report for 1/2:
All of the NCSC trail system was groomed in the last 24 hours!!
Conditions range from poor around Silver City along Lake Superior in The Porkies to excellent at higher elevations in The Porkies and Trapp Hills.
There is still a deep indentation between South Boundary Road and The Porkies Ski Hill.
The water holes along Trail #12 between Ontonagon and Greenland are filled. Mother Nature can change up quick so ride that area with caution.
Thank you to Steve at Team Hamilton's North Coast Adventures, Groomer Wyatt and Tractor Mac for getting it done!

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> URGENT TRAIL UPDATE - We just rode Trail 12 to Greenland. (Thanks for making the run, Wyatt!) Sunday's storm brought down more trees and the trail is all but impassable again.
Also - 906 Services Inc. is pulling a sled out of this waterhole as I post this. Last week's warm-up wrecked the ice bridge we built and there is no bypass around the water.
PLEASE stay off this trail until we are able to get out there again and do some more repair work.😫 #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotosURGENT TRAIL UPDATE - We just rode Trail 12 to Greenland.
