Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 01/14

We received a dusting of snow over the weekend. For the next few days the daytime temps will be in the teens and low twenties with a 60% chance of snow on Wednesday.

The Gogebic Range Trail Authority
reports: Groomers have been taken off the trails until we get some snow. Expect bare spots and icy spots and poor conditions. We need more snow to get the trails in great shape. Be Patient!!!

The Lake Gogebic groomers reports: We have not had much snow to get our trails in shape. We rolled our trails earlier but with the lack of snow we are unable to go out. Expect icy corners and bare spots. Groomers are ready and waiting to go out.

The Watersmeet groomers have not gone out yet, they need more snow. There is very little to no base. They are biting at the bit to go out and groom.

All areas need more snow….keep in mind groomers can be out day or night so watch out for them and please pull over or slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by.

Please be careful on corners as you know several Michigan Trail signs have been discontinued. These signs are posted on our trail map. PLEASE BE SAFE!!!!

Grand Marais Trail Report – 01/14

The latest storm delivered a little more than 5 inches in the snowbelt according to a weather spotter, less here in town as is typical of lake effect.

The weatherman says we could see another 1 to 3 today and they are calling for snow off and on the rest of the week. I drove to some of the trail heads yesterday and the base appears to have held up in some spots so this snow will definitely help us get back in business. We’ll pretty much have to start over on the town trail and the southern most parts of the trail system which were hardest hit by the thaw. For now, I would suggest you trailer out to the trail heads if you plan on riding this week.
