IRONWOOD / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority – ORV & Snowmobile Club – 03/05

TONIGHT: 160 will be groomed completely. Trails 2 & 8 will be groomed completely from Wakefield and east. Trail 11S will also be groomed completely. Single digit lows will allow quick tightening up of trails. But they will fade fast as the heat sets in during late afternoons. We suggest trailering to Wakefield and parking at the “Park and ride” spots noted in the post shared below. Areas with no southern side tree cover are baking considerably today as the temperature is climbing several degrees higher than forecast. The crew spent 8 HOURS last night bring snow onto the trail near Walmart and through trail 2’s “Ski hill” section. It’s tedious, grueling and stressful work but we know how coveted these last few days are and we are doing everything we can to make them the best possible.

Our all-volunteer crew doesn’t quit! We had a mud spot on trail 2 at Highway 2 crossing east of Bessemer. VP/Trail Boss Jerry and Eric “Shorty” decided to take some ribbon down and bring snow onto the trail. At 7pm last night they did the same thing near Walmart/Trail 160 intersection using a groomer with a front blade and a groomer with a drag. Grooming plans tonight will be to continue bringing snow back onto the trails on main corridors. If temps allow we hope to groom as much as possible for your likely finaly Saturday ride. Hats off to all Western U.P. clubs who have been going wide open the last week working to make conditions as favorable as possible. Trails remain rated fair with good trails out away from towns.
