We received around 2 to 3" overnight which for the most part melted off by the end of the day.
After 7 days of mid 40°s and bluebird skys. The runoff has begun.
8w to Wakefield is not groomable.
1n was run on Saturday, that machine broke through the ice on our hard pack.
Our feeder trail to the corridor is almost underwater as well.
As I write this it's currently snowing with 4 to 5" so far. Temp is 24° with a low of 17°
If we groom it will be limited.
We would appreciate any feedback on what you guy's are seeing on the trail's, any hazards etc.. Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup
🌨️ Here’s the view at 8 pm Central Time Tuesday night from the south end of the lake at the Gogebic Lodge.
🌨️ The temperature has dropped to 27 degrees and snow is falling steady.
🌨️ We are due to get up to 8 inches of snow by 2 pm Wednesday.
🌨️ More snow with significant accumulation is in the forecast for Friday and Sunday.
🌨️ So… did we ride to the lodge?! We did not. We left the sleds indoors because on this Tuesday night, the lake needs tonight’s round to freshen up the lake’s surface.
🌨️ I DO anticipate riding my sled Friday night… sources say there’s a cook over at the Hoop… my husband… just sayin’ 🍔🥪🍕🍟 #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
The first round of a potentially active week of winter weather is set to impact the UP tonight through Wednesday.

Forecasts are calling for up to a foot and a half of fresh snow between Wednesday and Sunday, which in true Upper Peninsula fashion means two things:
1. Mother Nature isn’t done yet.
2. The snowmobiles might be getting one more victory lap. 🏁
So go ahead and dust off those sleds, find that hat you already packed away, and get ready for what could be some epic late-season riding. Fresh snow, quiet trails, and that beautiful Lake Superior winter backdrop we all love.
Around here we call this “False Spring: Upper Peninsula Edition.”
Winter isn’t leaving… it just stepped outside for a minute. 😉 #ontonagon #westernup

Carter groomed Trail 2 from Hurley to Old US 2 Wakefield.
Riders please use caution as there are wet spots.
We will see what Mother Nature brings this week. Snow is in the forecast for Tuesday. #ironwood #westernup #snowphotos
Well, we’re almost through the one-week warm-up and honestly…it wasn’t nearly as bad as originally projected. 👍
The big win? No rain. Temperatures also didn’t get nearly as high as the forecasts were calling for, so the snowmobile trails held up far better than expected and were not destroyed.
Even better news: cold weather returns Tuesday, along with about a half foot of fresh snow in the forecast. ❄️ The groomers will be back out and working their magic as soon as conditions allow.
With the massive snow base we still have, there will absolutely be great riding available for the coming weeks. Late season riding in the Western U.P. is often some of the best of the year.
If you want to experience some epic late-season riding, now is the time to make the trip to the Western U.P. and the Porcupine Mountains / Ontonagon area. #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos
We have movement tonight!! We got a couple inches of snow this morning. Nothing to speak of, but enough to maybe add some traction for our machines.
That being said, we have #8 running 1n to White Pine to see what kind of shape the trail's are actually in. Sunday and Monday look to be above freezing but beyond that, it looks favorable...
