Ontonagon Area Trail Report – 12/29
ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 12/29 Steve is out on Trail #13, grooming between Hamilton’s North Coast Adventures and Rockland. He will then groom Trail #137 into Ontonagon, refuel and groom it all again on the way back. He then plans to hit Trail #12 into White Pine, continue on Trail #1 to the Porcupine Mountain Ski Hill and do that all over again on the way back to base at HNCA. Mac will be in the tractor by 3:00 grooming Trail #1 to Lake of the Clouds and when finished hit Trail #11 (South Boundary Road) to Trail #102 and bring it back to beautiful downtown White Pine. Please be in the lookout for our machines and download Groomer Tracker to know exactly where we are! <> ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins >> 12/29 Ontonagon / Porcupine Mountains Snowmobile Trail Report The predicted snowstorm did not disappoint! Higher elevations away from Lake Superior received over a foot of fresh snow, while the lakeshore areas picked up 4–6 inches of wet, heavy, packable snow. With snowfall totals like this, it will take a couple of days for groomers to fully flatten and set up the trails. Strong winds—gusting up to 60 mph—have created deep drifts in spots, especially in open areas. If you’re planning to ride in the next day or two, please use caution. Groomers will be doing their best to get on top of everything, but with this much snow and wind, it will take a little time to dial the trails in. That said, the New Year is kicking off with a great start for snowmobiling in the Ontonagon and Porcupine Mountains area. Happy trails and ride safe! 🛷❄ <> <> ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 12/29 Well Ma Nature tried to make up for the damage she did last week with a good dumping of snow on our system. It’s 17° and still snowing lightly in beautiful downtown White Pine. As soon as we clean up enough to get out of our homes we will head out to repair and groom. The plan is for Steve to leave out of Hamilton’s North Coast Adventures and Tractor Mac will head out from White Pine. We will update all when we see what we see. Be safe out there! <> <> MASS CITY – WESTERN U.P.

Overnight wet snow and light freezing rain could lead to some slick roads this morning!
Lake effect snow showers and gusty winds could lead to some rapidly changing visibility on the roads through tonight, especially close to Lake Superior and in the Keweenaw.
Late this week, temperatures warm up, including multiple freeze-thaw cycles. Lake ice may become hazardous! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaKey Messages:
