Lake Gogebic Trail Report – 02/13
LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – 02/13 Picture this morning 2-13-23… We have 2 operator’s going out tonight to knock down bumps. Nothing pretty by any means but trying to keep up until Thursday when thing’s should turn around. Do your snow Dance (We need it!)… and Winter isn’t over!! <> While the forecast for the next two days is not what anyone wants to see in February – it is certainly not a reason to freak out and start cancelling your reservations! We have a great base and there is still a lot of snow out on the trails so this warmup should not hurt us too bad. Snow and cold temps are in the forecast starting on Thursday. Just keep doing the Heikki Lunta (finnish snow dance!) Groomers will not be going out today and tomorrow and Mother Nature will determine what happens on Wednesday. Today and tomorrow will be maintenance days for our Groomers and they should have all equipment up and running by Wednesday. If groomers are out on the trails – it will mostly be to knock down some bumps. Groomers were last out on Saturday and hit 102, Trail 1N, 13N and 8 east. Trail 13 South/Trail 100: reroute has been closed and trail has been reverted to original trail. Trail 13 now connects to trail 100 & Stagecoach Road. Please watch and follow signs in order to avoid logging areas. Mother Nature will determine what happens this week – think snow and we’ll keep you posted!.. <> (Behind the scenes) Trail 13 south of Lake Gogebic has been a treat this year. We were able to pull off a miracle to get trail 13 open for snowmobile season. The Reroute took many hours to find landowners and to get approval to make it a trail. We now had to close the reroute down and go back to our original trail. Yesterday, we broke open the trail and resigned 13 south of trail 100. We also connect trail 100 and 13 intersection to to Stagecoach road to make for less road riding.😁 Please follow the signs to avoid the logging area. Hope Mother Nature doesn’t hurt us too much. Also a thank you to Riesterer & Schnell Outdoor Equipment to let us try a John Deere Tractor on our trails. Was really impressed how well it handled on our system of trails. <> <> <> <> Lake Gogebic Area Chamber of Commerce – <> Lake Gogebic Area Chamber of Commerce on Facebook – <> LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Lake Gogebic News >> ❄️ Monday, March 16… WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Blizzard conditions persist today for central and eastern Upper Michigan, while snowfall lessens in the west.
