Ontonagon Area Trail Report – 02/06
ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 02/06 Trail Report 2/6: 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. Ride the 906! <> <> <> Visit North Country Snowmobile Club – UP Website >>>> <> Visit North Country Snowmobile Club – UP on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Strong winds develop near Lake Superior this morning, resulting in blowing snow and reduced visibility in the western, north-central, and eastern UP. 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.

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.

More snow is in the forecast towards the end of the week. It’s been a real life snow globe these last couple days!
Ride respectfully but more importantly, ride safe. #westernup #snowphotos
Winter is absolutely delivering right now. We’re over 160” for the season total so far.
We’ve measured 24 inches of fresh snow in just the last week and a half right on our deck, and conditions across the Porcupine Mountains and Ontonagon area are shaping up to be the best snowmobiling and skiing we’ve seen in many years.
Snowmobile trails are well-covered with a solid base, riding smooth and fast thanks to consistent cold temps. Off-trail snow is deep, fluffy, and exactly what you hope for up here. For skiers — both downhill and Nordic — coverage is excellent, with beautiful natural snow and classic Lake Superior powder conditions.
📸 This photo shows exactly what’s fallen recently — and there’s even more in the woods.
If you’ve been waiting for a reason to make the trip north, this is it.
And if you’re looking for a warm, comfortable place to stay after a full day on the trails or slopes, Scott’s Superior Inn & Cabins is right here in Ontonagon — rider- and skier-friendly, close to the trails, and the perfect home base for conditions like this.
These are the kind of winters people remember. Don’t miss it. #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos❄️ Porcupine Mountains / Ontonagon Snow Report ❄️

Snow was laying down perfectly tonight and the trail's are in excellent shape!! 102 is the best it's been so far this season. Early bird's get out there and enjoy!
8w still has some chop to it but overall turned out decent.
Generally speaking February is prime time for trail riding here in the yoop. Lesser traffic, temp's have been perfect and we've been basically getting light snow daily.
Trail's covered tonight, 102, 13s, 1n and 8w.
We have a full crew lined up for tonight and our entire system should be covered. Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️

Such a busy week it's been. From keeping up with trail's and making sure both machine's are on the trail! We've had our hands full.
Temp's on Saturday got into the upper 20's and heavy traffic really took a toll throughout our system. We've been able to get everything back in shape, but some will take a couple passes to get back to Great Again!!
Trail's covered tonight 102, 13n, 8e and 8w.
Will we make it to March 31st this season? It looks promising..
Think cold and ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ Gogebic Area Grooming
Video is 102 at South Boundary, our turnaround. #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
