LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> 01/19
Bergland Area update for 1/19/25. A cold -8 this morning with a couple inches of fresh snow.. All trails were covered last night. Thank you so much to all our Groomer operators. It’s been a tough week as you can see in the pictures, with heavy traffic it’s almost a complete reset nightly!
Snow conditions…Trail 8e is thin towards Ewen. Closer to Bergland noticably better. 1s to Marenisco, good until around the area of our turnaround where logging is active. 8w to Wakefield. Everything has frozen over and no more water holes! 13s to the Root Cellar or trail 100, good but get’s thin south of RC. 13n to Rockland, good but heavily traveled and deteriorates by afternoon. 102 and 1n are the same.
We are doing what we can to keep up and we appreciate every one of you that visit the area!! Be safe Gogebic Area Grooming ❄❄❄

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Bergland Area Groomer's update for 12-30-25.
1n, 13n, 13s and 8e, the Corridor and access trail's were all covered tonight.
Timberline Rental, Timberline's main shop and AJ's opened up.
Hoop n Holler access was attempted but not passable. We'll have to figure out an alternate but that won't happen instantly.
1s remains closed due to logging. Hopefully we will have an update on that soon.
8w we're still only able to groom certain sections. Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
WATERSMEET - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via U.P. Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club >> UPDATED 12/30/25- Groomers were finally able to get out today and groom our entire system and clear all big obstacles that were on or blocking the trails. Both groomers were out 9 to 10 hours to get through everything but still expect some mirror wackers as it will take a while to get all them. We got anywhere from probably 12 to 20 inches of snow so it is going to take a few days before the trails are really going to set up. We will be on a more consistent grooming schedule moving forward as long as weather cooperates and groomer drivers are available. Big thanks to some of the snowmobilers that stopped and help us clear some of the big trees and if you see something on the trails please try to pick it up to help our drivers out. Remember Ride Right and Ride Safe. #watersmeet #westernup #snowphotos
LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via AJ's Lodge and Oven >> Received an update from a rider who did the loop: 8E–13N–101–12W–1N–102. With the exception of 8 out-of-town trails, conditions are reported to be fantastic.”
And just in time—I watched our groomer coming down the AJ’s access trail.
Thank you so very much to our incredible groomers. We truly appreciate all you do. ❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A clipper low will bring widespread light snow to the U.P today with generally less than an inch of snowfall. The exception will be in the northwest wind snowbelts where up to 4” of dry fluffy snow is possible. It will be cold for New Years Eve and those headed out should dress accordingly; temperatures in the single digits and breezy conditions will result in sub zero wind chills. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA clipper low will bring widespread light snow to the U.P today with generally less than an inch of snowfall.

WATERSMEET - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via U.P. Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club >> UPDATED evening- 12/29/25 due to power outages and clearing snow we were not able to get groomers out today. But with the help from some we did get some of the down fall cleared so it will be easier from groomers to get through. We will be getting out tomorrow morning and continue clearing and grooming and if all goes well should be able to get on a regular daily grooming schedule. Will give updates as we go. #watersmeet #westernup #snowphotos
