IRONWOOD – WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority – ORV & Snowmobile Club >> 01/21 I hope everyone is staying warm out there! Grooming operations are currently on hold due to extreme cold and mechanical issues. We’ve got 1 tractor with inoperable hydraulics. The tucker is having electrical issues leaving the lights not working. The sxs is in the shop having the clutch repaired. We will not dispatch the other tractor until the temperature rises/ the sxs is back in operation. Trails across our system are moderate to poor in some regions. Very icey conditions. Please exercise caution while riding, stay warm, and stay safe! <> <> <> Report via Gogebic Range Trail Authority on Facebook <> ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> TRAIL REPORT - Yesterday we groomed Trail 12 between White Pine and Potato Farm Road and the 137/13/12 loop.

We have one machine finishing much needed maintenance and the tractor threw error codes last night, so we couldn't take her out. Cody groomed Trail 13, 137, 101 and Trail 12 between Potato Farm Road and the NCSC clubhouse in Ontonagon.
We are working to get the other two machines ready for this evening. The trails need love. #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotosTrail Report - It made the 50's and sunny here yesterday so the trails took a beating.
