Trail 11 160 Lot’s of running water with dips and swells with open water. Trail 2 from Bessemer to Hurley open. Bushing will be needed along trail 2 from Wakefield to Korpola Road. Today’s project. <> <> <> Report via Gogebic Range Trail Authority Website <> Report via Gogebic Range Trail Authority on Facebook <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan --> Tonight, cloud cover increases ahead of tomorrow’s snowfall. In the mid-morning hours, a low pressure system passes through the northern portions of the Lower Peninsula, with system snow falling over the east half and lake effect snow falling over the west. As temperatures warm to near freezing, the snow will be dense and wet at times, and some parts of the south and east could see some rain mixed in. Winds also pick up tomorrow, which could lead to some isolated power outages. The combination of snow and high winds could also lead to hazardous travel conditions, so be careful if you’re on the roads tomorrow! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaTonight, cloud cover increases ahead of tomorrow’s snowfall.

Even with the warm temperatures I feel we can touch up our painting tonight for a splendid ride tomorrow morning for early risers. Stay right, stop at all Stop signs 🛑 and be careful while riding.

Trail Condition: Good To Excellent
Last Groomed: February 06th, 2023
Conditions vary on our trails, from good in most places to excellent in some. The warmer temps are not helping us at all.
Tickets are being issued by Law Enforcement officers for not stopping at STOP signs.
We groom every day that the weather conditions and equipment allows. There may be unforeseen circumstances that prevent us from going out, like a major blizzard and being snowed in at our homes or equipment breakdowns.
There is log hauling just north of Sidnaw for a few miles, trail 8/15. Be cautious of logging trucks and equipment in the area.
