Ironwood – Western U.P. Trail Report – 03/18
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. <> <> <> Report via Gogebic Range Trail Authority Website <> Report via Gogebic Range Trail Authority on Facebook <> LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming --> Trails are holding up great!! 8e is starting to show thin spots but everything else is looking really good. 13n, 102, 1n, 8e all groomed last night.

Trail Condition: Fair
Last Groomed: March 18th, 2023
Reported On: March 20th, 2023 @ 11:54am
We are very close to being done grooming for the season.
We now have the Groomer Trackers installed and working on our groomers.
Conditions vary on our trails, from good in most places to fair in other areas. Where trail 3 and 8 are together on the old RR grade is the worst, heavy traffic on this stretch takes it’s toll.
Tickets are being issued by Law Enforcement officers for not stopping at STOP signs.
We groom every day that the weather conditions and equipment allows. There may be unforeseen circumstances that prevent us from going out, like a major blizzard and being snowed in at our homes or equipment breakdowns..
