IRONWOOD / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority – ORV & Snowmobile Club – 03/18
I just got off the phone with the groomers. After spending the night they said "they said it’s like the middle of winter". So much snow it’s crazy out there.
Just a warning on trail 11 along Great Lakes Road the groomer came across three wet spots, imagine that with all the rain before the snow.
Looking at all the snow just two days ago it was -14′ in the morning and 32′ by noon and warmer and now look at it, it’s crazy.
