ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> Trail Report 3/20: We finished our ride yesterday on Trail 137 to Trail 13 to 101 to 12 back to White Pine. The snow had turned to mashed potatoes but trails for the most part were smooth and holding up well. There are bare spots, standing water, running water, deteriorating snow bridges, and any roadside trail is bare, pretty typical late season riding. Friday should still be a good day for riding. Due to high temps we have halted all grooming operations. Will go back out Sunday to assess the damage Ma Nature is causing. Ride the 906. #ontonagon #westernup#snowphotosTrail Report 3/20:

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> 142 miles. Let that sink in. Art just rode 142 miles across the Ontonagon trail system and called it “the best March riding he’s seen in 20 years.” ❄️🔥 The trails are in incredible shape, and this late-season snow has everything dialed in—smooth, fast, and just plain fun. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to ride… this is it. It’s not too late for one last trip. Come on up and make it count. 🏁 #ontonagon #westernup#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> Out riding with Mama Sledhead. Hit Trail #12 from White Pine to Greenland. I would rate it "very good" with the exception being the the 2 miles running the farm fields along HWY 38. The wind drifted snow across and it's bumpy. Having lunch at Boondock Inn in Twin Lakes. Thank you to our Groomers, Wyatt Jay and Josh and The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club !! #ontonagon #westernup#snowphotosOut riding with Mama Sledhead. Hit Trail #12 from White Pine to Greenland.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> March 18 Trail Report: A big THANK YOU to Groomer Josh and Tractor Mac for some late season magic. We are out riding them and they are awesome!! Rode the ribbon on 101! Runoff water is moving, the little bit of cold we've had did not slow it down. Our snow bridges are failing. We are rebuilding them but Ma Nature is slowly winning the battle. Trail #12 along LP Walsh road has 4 snow bridges, all are narrowing. Trail #1 between South Boundary Road and The Porkies Ski Hill has 2 that are the same. Please use extreme caution. A warm-up is forecast. Temps at night barely below freezing for a couple hours the next 3 nights with highs in the 40's. Fingers crossed they are wrong. Come up and ride the 906 quick!! #ontonagon #westernup#snowphotosMarch 18 Trail Report:
