“Good Morning Everyone”. Last night I groomed trail 13 out of Greenland west to Rockland. My turnaround is the trail 121 juncture which is the railroad grade leading into Ontanogon. I left the groomer barn at 2:30 am. The temperature was 20 degrees and it did not snow during my 4 hour run.
As expected, there are wet spots with the largest spot depicted in the picture. Snow is thin from the Rockland turnoff to Highway 45 which is about a mile in length. There are also stretches of the trail which groomed up very nicely too. Hoping the colder temps later in the week and the projected snow for Wednesday come to fruition.
For those of you out riding already, thank you for helping us freeze down the trails. We greatly appreciate it! Have a wonderful day everyone!

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> URGENT TRAIL UPDATE - We just rode Trail 12 to Greenland. (Thanks for making the run, Wyatt!) Sunday's storm brought down more trees and the trail is all but impassable again. Also - 906 Services Inc. is pulling a sled out of this waterhole as I post this. Last week's warm-up wrecked the ice bridge we built and there is no bypass around the water. PLEASE stay off this trail until we are able to get out there again and do some more repair work.😫 #ontonagon #westernup#snowphotosURGENT TRAIL UPDATE - We just rode Trail 12 to Greenland.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> The last Trail Report for 2025! Last night Wyatt ran Trail 12 from the NCSC Clubhouse in Ontonagon to Trail 1 thru White Pine, Silver City and to the junction with Trail 11. He and Tractor Mac played lumberjack on Trail 11 all the way to the Junction of 102. Looks like that will continue to be a challenge this season. Mike C did an up and back starting on Trail 12 out of Hamilton's North Coast Adventures to Trail 101 and then on to Trail 13 to the junction of Trail 137. The water holes are starting to freeze up, but The LP Walsh Road section of Trail 12 still has running water in the swales. Our guys have built snow bridges, but many are one groom wide. Ride this section with caution, and STAY ON TRAIL. Trail 1 along Lake Superior is still thin, but improving with each snowfall. Other than that, most of our trails are in good to very good condition. Ride right and stay safe, Sledheads. #ontonagon #westernup#snowphotosThe last Trail Report for 2025!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A clipper low will bring widespread light snow to the U.P today with generally less than an inch of snowfall. The exception will be in the northwest wind snowbelts where up to 4” of dry fluffy snow is possible. It will be cold for New Years Eve and those headed out should dress accordingly; temperatures in the single digits and breezy conditions will result in sub zero wind chills. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA clipper low will bring widespread light snow to the U.P today with generally less than an inch of snowfall.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 30 December 2025 I meant to do a video yesterday after the Storm but I spent most of the day moving snow. So we have some trees down again and hope to have them taken care of today and get back to grooming tonight. It was pretty cool meeting Todd while I was doing a trail report today. ☠️ Stretch Western UP Trail Reports Web Cam video.nest.com/live/4BKmS6XRiT#keweenaw#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
