Lake Gogebic Trail Report – 02/22
LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – 02/22 The Lake Gogebic Area has received 6-8” of new snow over the past 2-3 days and it has really helped out tremendously on our trails. The new snow mixed with what we had, and it set up nicely with the cold temperatures at night. Trails in the Lake Gogebic Area reported to be in good to very good condition and groomer Dave has reported that the South end of the Lake and Marenisco are in excellent condition! We are forecasted to receive about 8” over the next 36 hours and if that happens groomers will be out in force to get all the trails set but then we should be in excellent condition! The only challenge area is the corridor above Timberline Sports which receives the most traffic as it is a connector to major trails. New snow will certainly help that corridor out! Here’s the skinny from our groomers: • Trail 102: was groomed this morning! So far this season we have received over 170” of snow – and winter is far from over! Come on us and ride – we’ve got the best conditions around! Thanks to all of you who visit and support our area and our businesses, and thanks to all who work hard to make the Lake Gogebic Area one of the very best snowmobile destinations in the country! <> <> <> <> Lake Gogebic Area Chamber of Commerce – <> Lake Gogebic Area Chamber of Commerce on Facebook – <> LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Lake Gogebic News >> ❄️ Monday, March 16… WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Blizzard conditions persist today for central and eastern Upper Michigan, while snowfall lessens in the west.
