Trails are holding up fairly well. We do need more snow. Last weekend saw a bunch of snowmobile traffic and most riders said the trails were in great shape. I have noticed some areas of a thin base on the power lines on trail 5 and in and around ranch rudolph area. There is snow in the forecast daily though we have not seen to much accumulation this week. I would rate the trails in fair to good condition and plenty of base to ride. Seasonal roads are covered as well. The power lines are thin so if you get off trail be aware of the surroundings as there are many stumps and tree debris on the power lines throughout the county. We do have a couple of snowmobiles left for rent this weekend so come on up and play!

Lake Gogebic Groomer’s Report:
Overall trails are improving. Trail 102 and 13 north are in good shape. Trail 8 west is frozen up for the most part. Still use caution when riding you still can encounter some rough spots. This weekend should be a busy weekend so the trails will get pretty beat up. The groomers will do the best they can with what they have to work with.
The Watersmeet Groomer’s report:
Groomers are running daily and the trails are in very good condition. Not much more to say than that! Ride right, ride safe!!
Please follow the orange barrels and stay on trail going across Cisco Chain.
Please remember groomers are out both day and night, so watch for them, please pull over or at least slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by whenever you see them. Groomers have the right of way.
JUST ONE MORE REMINDER: PLEASE STAY ON MARKED TRAILS. RIDING ON UNMARKED TRAILS CAN RESULT IN THE CLUBS LOSING EASEMENT FOR THAT TRAIL AND IT CAN ALSO RESULT IN A POSSIBLE TICKET FOR YOU.
