LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> 01/15
Bergland Area Groomer report for 1-15-25. High traffic seems to be the only struggle we have to keep up with. Until tonight! As you can see in the pictures we had some pins fail on one of our drags that was going to run a good portion of our system tonight. Thing’s break and we have no control over it. On the plus side 8w to Wakefield was groomed tonight but I don’t believe it will last. One area has flowing water and does not want to freeze.
We’ll most likely have to install a temporary culvert. 102, 1n, 8w,8e All are being groomed tonight. 8e to Ewen is thin. 102 is wonderful. 1n is wonderful.
Enjoy, and be safe. We appreciate you all!! βββ

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> 01/15
Marenisco crews out tonight cleaning up Trail 1. There are still some sections that are thin and icy so we are doing the best we can to pull/push more snow into those areas to smooth them out but we still need more snow. Fortunately itβs falling tonight so every little bit helps!
