LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> 02/04
Marenisco area crews out again tonight putting the polish on Trails 1 and 8. The cold weather is really helping get things and both trails were left smooth and solid before the snow predicted for this week and weekend! Thanks to all the sled heads tonight for taking care of the freshly groomed surface after going by. We appreciate it!

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> Out riding with Mama Sledhead. Hit Trail #12 from White Pine to Greenland. I would rate it "very good" with the exception being the the 2 miles running the farm fields along HWY 38. The wind drifted snow across and it's bumpy. Having lunch at Boondock Inn in Twin Lakes.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> March 18 Trail Report: A big THANK YOU to Groomer Josh and Tractor Mac for some late season magic. We are out riding them and they are awesome!! Rode the ribbon on 101! Runoff water is moving, the little bit of cold we've had did not slow it down. Our snow bridges are failing. We are rebuilding them but Ma Nature is slowly winning the battle. Trail #12 along LP Walsh road has 4 snow bridges, all are narrowing. Trail #1 between South Boundary Road and The Porkies Ski Hill has 2 that are the same. Please use extreme caution. A warm-up is forecast. Temps at night barely below freezing for a couple hours the next 3 nights with highs in the 40's. Fingers crossed they are wrong. Come up and ride the 906 quick!! #ontonagon #westernup#snowphotosMarch 18 Trail Report:
