One of our groomers is down for repairs. We don’t know what the timeline is for getting it repaired. Be patient we now have only one groomer to work with, we will get to all the trails when we can.
Overall conditions are good to very good.
Please stay on your side of the trails, we want everyone to be safe.
Trail 2 from Hurley to Ramsay US-2 Crossing is good to very good. This was last groomed on the morning of the 2/5.. You will still encounter some thin spots along with icy corners. Use caution when riding.
The rail-bed trail ENDS on the east side of the Keystone Bridge. The club grooms the bridge to maintain it for local access. The “old” trail to Wakefield is closed east of Verona Road. Tickets will be issued if you ride on this closed trail.
Trail 2 from Ramsay Crossing to Wakefield is fair to good. The decent from Indianhead Mountain to Wakefield as you travel eastbound on trail 2 needs more snow. The trail by Sunday Lake in Wakefield is thin and has icy corners.

Trail 160 from Walmart to Montreal River(WI) is good to very good. This is a very scenic trail with spectacular views. ENJOY!! There is logging near the Lake Road area, please slow down, remember logging trucks have the right of way.
Trail 11S is good to very good. Last groomed 2/5. The first 2 miles of the trail as it heads south towards Wisconsin from Trail 2 is plowed due to logging. Please yield to all commercial truck traffic. The trail is in great shape and is groomed from the Vilas County Wisconsin Line to Trail 2 completely, regularly. There are still a few thin areas and areas that need more brushing but the trail is fantastic.

Trail Conditions:
Good News: The DNR has given approval for us to reopen Trail 100 to East Shore Road which puts snowmobilers within a 1/4 mi of Lake Gogebic. Groomers are out on it right now and it is in good shape (4.5 mi from trail 13 to East Shore Rd).
Trail 13: Good to very good. Trail 100 is open and has been groomed from Trail 13 to the
East Shore Rd. From there you can follow left to Slate River/ Lake Gogebic and if you make a right you can run East Shore Road. Received some snow and hopefully, that will cover bare spots on the roads.
