Ontonagon Area Trail Report – 03/08
ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins >> 03/08 What an absolutely amazing day! I had the pleasure of giving some of our guests a tour, and we couldn’t have asked for better conditions. The trails were fantastic! Days like today remind me just how much I love this job! <> <> ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 03/08 We recommend using 137/12 rail grade to access Ontonagon rather than trail 12 down Norwich road. We have ceased grooming the ditch trail detour. Erika Hoffmann caught our crew headed out yesterday afternoon providing these great videos. We have 1 groomer down, but we’re keeping up! <> <> ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 03/07 Trails are incredible. Download Groomer Tracker to see the trails we groomed over the last 24 hours. We did a few passes down Rock Hill trail 13 to set it up for a great weekend. Great snow on the trails!! Be careful of water hazards opening up, but they’ll be navigable. Cold temps last night helped trails freeze in hard during our grooming. Trail 12 from 101 North/NE to Ontonagon is not groomed. <> <> ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins >> 03/06 A fresh dumping of snow has hit the Ontonagon and Porcupine Mountains area this week, with some spots reporting over 20 inches of new snowfall! This has provided a much-needed refresh to the trails, creating a fantastic base for riding. Trail Conditions: What to Expect: Groomers running regularly, but some trails may still be in progress. This is shaping up to be one of the best weekends for riding this season, so get out and enjoy the fresh powder while it lasts! As always, ride safe, respect private property, and support the local businesses that keep our trail system alive. For up-to-date trail conditions, be sure to check with local clubs and grooming reports. <> <> ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins >> 03/06 The skies are clearing! The FRESH snow is DEEP! The groomers are headed OUT! We have 1 machine down and PB22 and NH20 are reporting for duty. Please ride slowly today with equipment out on the trails. Enjoy this video from North Coast Steve from Sunday night’s reset of rock hill trail 13 by the Ontonagon River. Trails were mostly flat ahead of this snow, great riding ahead! <> <> Visit North Country Snowmobile Club – UP Website >>>> <> Visit North Country Snowmobile Club – UP on Facebook >>>> <> ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> TRAIL REPORT - Sorry for the delay, but Tractor Mac was out fixing trail already this AM. The cold snap has set up the trails nicely, but some of the moguls were extremely hard and difficult to cut down last night. All trails except Trail 12 from the 137 junction to Greenland were groomed and are in good to excellent condition. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Lake effect will continue today in the east while most of the region sees plenty of sunshine.

Most of the region looks to warm to near or above freezing Monday and Tuesday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaLake effect will continue today in the east while most of the region sees plenty of sunshine.

In addition, slick roadways are possible in the wake of a round of patchy freezing drizzle this past night. This may lead to hazardous travel for the morning commute. While snow tapers off in the west and north-central by the afternoon, impacts continue in the east as lake effect persists the rest of today into tonight. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaStrong winds develop near Lake Superior this morning, resulting in blowing snow and reduced visibility in the western, north-central, and eastern UP.

Groomers are working tirelessly to catch up with the heavy snowfall. With this much fresh powder, it may take a couple of days to get everything fully packed and smoothed out, but riders can still expect excellent conditions across the Western U.P. Some trails may be a bit soft until grooming efforts are complete, so plan accordingly and ride with caution.
Plenty of fresh snow for great riding.
Watch for deep snow in ungroomed sections and be prepared for changing conditions.
Cold temps should help maintain trail quality in the coming days.
Happy riding!Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook

1s or Ethelwood Grade is open for the remainder of the Snowmobile season.
We took a machine down today to make sure all obstacles were clear to the turnaround and Marenisco crew did the same.
We have a few things to clean up, but it's passable by sled and Bully. We'll let you guy's pack er in a bit before we run a drag through. Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
We love what we do! We could certainly use some more operators to help us do it......
On that point, we have some new experienced help as Cody took his first run for NCSC last night! He, Chad and Tractor Mac hit all of our trails with the exception of Trail #12 from Ontonagon to Greenland.
We have had heavy traffic for a Wednesday and Thursday with warmer conditions. Trails are holding up well but deteriorate quickly.
