We have received 6-18 inches of fluffy snow with more coming down across the western end of the upper peninsula. High temps in the teens Friday and Saturday and in the upper 20’s Sunday and Monday.
GOGEBIC RANGE TRAIL AUTHORITY Reports both groomers are out packing the 12-18 inches of new snow. Trails 2,8 and 11S are in good condition with some excellent areas. 160 is in good condition but has two wet spots so use caution. Use caution on 11S as logging is getting underway on the last four miles so watch out for logging trucks. Grooming will NOT be done on 11N until next week as there is an issue with swamp and water.

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA GROOMERS report trails are being groomed and in good condition and loaded with snow. They are the best they have been this season. The groomers will be out packing the trails and keeping them in shape.

U.P.THUNDER RIDERS OF WATERSMEET report all trails are groomed and the trails are in fair to good condition. The Groomers will be back out tonight working with the 6-8 inches of snow that they received.

Keep in mind the groomers will be out day and night, so watch for them,and PLEASE pull over or at least slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by whenever you see them.
