LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – 01/10 Good Friday evening fellow sled head’s. 1-10-25. If you know this spot you know it’s the BBB!! We’ve received around 8"to 10" here in the Bergland Area. We did have one machine run up 1n to White Pine this evening. From there machines will not go out again until tomorrow evening. We need you guy’s and gals to pack that fresh snow in without the heavy weight of the machine and drag. We are forecasted for continuing lake effect and a clipper system on Sunday 🙏. Saturday and Sunday we anticipate running double shifts and covering all trail’s in our system besides 8w. 8w will be addressed On Monday or Tuesday depending if the much needed clipper system comes through.

Tonight, a Wind Advisory is in effect for the Keweenaw Peninsula for 45+ mph W to NW winds. Then Wednesday night through Friday morning will bring gusty winds and a wintry mix of rain, freezing rain, and/or snow becoming widespread accumulating snow (with the highest chances of multiple inches of snowfall over the north half). WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Back to back events are expected this week. Expect strong winds this afternoon and tonight, then strong winds, falling temperatures, and snowfall on Thursday and Thursday night. The strong winds for both events night may result in power outages and lakeshore flooding/erosion and/or weakening lake ice. Temperatures will also climb up above freezing today for the first time since late November, with highs remaining in the 30s for the next few days. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> Hats off to Steve from Hamilton's North Coast Adventures for his hard work and dedication. He ran WITH the drag to groom what we could yesterday. WATERSMEET - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via U.P. Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club >> UPDATED 12/16/25- We had a groomer go out on our north/ south run giving mixed reviews. The grade going east out of town is thin in spots and needs snow and the area of trail 3 going north from the grade is still a little ruff and needs more snow to fill in the holes so it can start to flatten out. He reported down to Lando to be nice and when you start getting farther north on trail 3 it gets better. Due to the warm up today (Tuesday) we are waiting to send groomer west until Wednesday. We are not on a full grooming schedule yet but trails are starting to shape up good but we could definitely use some new snow. Again because of the storm and early season watch out for small debris in the trails, help us out if you see something please stop and get it off the trail as it will be safer for everyone. As always please ride to the right and ride safe. #westernup BESSEMER - WESTERN U.P.

Temp's got into the upper 30's today. It shouldn't impact trails, however we will be keeping machines parked this evening.
Pictures are of Trail 13 North of M28 to Rockland and 13 south of the Root Cellar to our turnaround. 13 North of the Root Cellar is still being worked on and we'll hopefully be able to open that up by the end of the week.
If mother nature cooperates we anticipate getting back out there tomorrow.. That's all for now! Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos

TRAIL REPORT:
Trail 1 was groomed from LP Walsh Road to Silver City and back with some wet spots North of White Pine. A rider ran up to Lake of the Clouds and advised us that there is a large tree on the trail just past the split to Trail 11 (South Boundary Road). Snow is thin thru the woods in The Porkies, but the wet spots have frozen up nicely.
Thanks for the detailed info, Nick!
Trail 12 was groomed between White Pine and the split to Trail 101. There are some wet spots along the LP Walsh Road, ride with caution. The trail is not groomed or cleared of hazards beyond that split going East to the NCSC Clubhouse.
Trail 101 is in great shape!
Trail 13 from the 101 junction to Rockland is cleared thru and groomed, but narrow in spots, ride with caution.
Trail12/137 (The railroad grade) between Rockland and Ontonagon is in good shape, but Trail 12 going East to Greenland has not yet been cleared.
If you are running Groomer Tracker please keep in mind that some of the groomers are still running with no drags, clearing trail and or rolling and compacting. Please check with individual clubs to get the full scoop B4 you ride. #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos
We received around 8"to 10" over the past 2 days from the latest storm. The snow and cold have been helping out tremendously!!
I was waiting to hear from one of our operators out currently who had just groomed 8w to see if thing's had improved but he hasn't replied. However 8w and 1n are currently being groomed.
Today we finally punched through 102. We'll let 102 set up for a day or 2 and run through her again without a drag.
Then 13 from Root Cellar north is the last section to open up along with access trail's. 🤞Mother Nature cooperates! We are moving forward and some sections are beautiful and other's just need time. Thanks everyone! Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
13n to Rockland getting it's first groom tonight. Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
