Lake Gogebic Trail Report – 12/31
LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – 12/31 Trail 8 West was finally broken open by Two groomers Yesterday. This trail between Bergland and Wakefield is our toughest trail to deal with. It’s not the greatest thing to pass, but is passable now. These conditions changes daily with the swamp! PLEASE USE caution as the trail has bare spots, water spots and lots of brush yet! Groomers are out nightly to keep up with day time traffic! We will be sending a groomer with a drag tonight to hopefully knock down some brush of 8 West. And Remember, Please and I MEAN please stay on the trail system everywhere you go. Lots of riders have been venturing off trail and making private land owners mad. This causes trail closers and a lot of headaches for our clubs. Thanks you and be safe! <> Trail 8 West was finally broken open by Two groomers Yesterday.

Some dry weather is then expected Monday ahead of the next system towards the midweek period next week. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A pair of systems will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the U.P. today into tonight. A clipper will spread a mix of rain, snow, and freezing rain across the area this morning, changing to all rain from west to east as temperatures climb above freezing in the afternoon, reaching as high as the mid 50s in the west. A cold front then drops across the U.P. and brings another round of mixed precip tonight, changing to all snow towards Sunday morning. Generally expect minimal snow amounts across most of the U.P., but some spots in the Keweenaw and the east could pick up 1-3” through Sunday morning. A glaze of ice will also be possible in a few spots this morning and again tonight. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA pair of systems will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the U.P. today into tonight.

Last Groom was Wednesday 3-18-26 and conditions were pretty decent at that time.
Unfortunately this warmup has likely taken it's toll.
It's that time of year where we start putting everything away and regrouping for next season.
Was this season perfect? Absolutely not! We've had some personnel changes and some mechanical issues that plagued us the last few weeks that really put us behind.
Believe it or not we did have machine's or a machine running 7 day's a week when the weather allowed.
Maybe not covering the area's you would like but what we thought was best.
Our goal is to give everyone the best experience possible when possible.
We would like to thank all our Groomer operators, all the local businesses and especially the diehard snowmobiler's that come to Western U.P. every season! Thank you from Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
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:

All our trails have been groomed. Enjoy riding the trails this weekend. We will not be grooming this weekend with the warm weather.

Today marks the first official day of spring — and that means longer daylight hours on the trails.
There’s still time to get out and ride before the season ends.
If you’re heading out:
✔ Ride Right
✔ Lead Right
✔ Respect the trails and landowners
And remember — the groomer always has the right of way.
Enjoy the longer days and make the most of the remaining riding season! ❄️

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
🛷 Thursday, March 19th: Clouds, then bright blue sky… 🌥️☀️
🛷 Have patience as the season winds down. Some places are awesome; others are wind-swept.
🛷 These photos are from 11 am. At 3 pm, it’s now blue sky.
🛷 Tomorrow/Friday calls for 46 degrees and rain. 🌧️
❄️ Sunday? Possibly 3” of fresh snow. It is what it is… winter and spring are co-mingling! #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
