Ironwood Trail Report – 01/07

IRONWOOD / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority – ORV & Snowmobile Club – Trail 2 from Ironwood to Wakefield was groomed last, the ski hill section from US HWY 2 crossing into Wakefield was groomed twice. Corners are again flat and we spread out some of the snow, please be cautious we saw numerous signs of blown corners. The trail corners will get swept becoming icy, please watch your speeds. This week will be interesting, freezing rain and highs in the mid-30’s. We do not groom warm snow or warm nights, typically the trail base holds up better when it doesn’t get broke up by our heavy equipment, it just stays in place longer. Thank you to our volunteer groomer operators and mechanics Steven Gerszewski, Robert G, Calvin, Chuck, Deborah & Richard R. We would be nowhere without you!

Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/07

January 7, 2018

18 degrees this morning and snowing. Picked up about an inch last night and it looks like its gonna snow most of the day. The weather guessers are calling for 3-6. I know ya`ll are itching to hear how it went yesterday in the swamp so here it goes……

The boys made it through without too much trouble. The water holes weren`t quite as deep as expected, probably cause of all the cold temps, but it is NOT RIDABLE YET!!! It is muddy in there. There is a gate on the south entrance that is CLOSED. Do NOT go around this gate. If you do you will get muddy and probably stuck and we will NOT come and rescue you. There is no gate on the north side but we are gonna go down and put up caution tape. DO NOT go under this or you will end up same as above. We will go back in there in a day or two…..we want to let it set up for a bit. The snow today will help. Let me explain something to you. If you go in there and tear it up trying to get thru you will be hurting the progress. Just stay out for a few more days….PLEASE. Our goal is to open it up by the end of the week. The rest of the trail from the river mouth to the Silver Creek is pretty good. Couple small water spots but we`ll clear them up fast. The Federal Forest section from the Creek to Lakeshore is pretty good also. We left the gates open on that section but just be careful, there are a couple small wet spots in there to watch out for.

I did get to talk to Groomer Don yesterday afternoon about the Point Trails. He said there was alot of trees down and a few wet spots but he got`em all cleared up. I got the feeling he`ll be runnin in there with a drag today but don`t take my word on this.

So….all good news today…..how bout dat!!!

Groomer Chris
