ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> The last Trail Report for 2025!
Last night Wyatt ran Trail 12 from the NCSC Clubhouse in Ontonagon to Trail 1 thru White Pine, Silver City and to the junction with Trail 11. He and Tractor Mac played lumberjack on Trail 11 all the way to the Junction of 102. Looks like that will continue to be a challenge this season.
Mike C did an up and back starting on Trail 12 out of Hamilton's North Coast Adventures to Trail 101 and then on to Trail 13 to the junction of Trail 137.
The water holes are starting to freeze up, but The LP Walsh Road section of Trail 12 still has running water in the swales. Our guys have built snow bridges, but many are one groom wide. Ride this section with caution, and STAY ON TRAIL.
Trail 1 along Lake Superior is still thin, but improving with each snowfall.
Other than that, most of our trails are in good to very good condition. Ride right and stay safe, Sledheads. #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotosThe last Trail Report for 2025!

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Bergland Area Groomer's update for 12-30-25.
1n, 13n, 13s and 8e, the Corridor and access trail's were all covered tonight.
Timberline Rental, Timberline's main shop and AJ's opened up.
Hoop n Holler access was attempted but not passable. We'll have to figure out an alternate but that won't happen instantly.
1s remains closed due to logging. Hopefully we will have an update on that soon.
8w we're still only able to groom certain sections. Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
WATERSMEET - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via U.P. Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club >> UPDATED 12/30/25- Groomers were finally able to get out today and groom our entire system and clear all big obstacles that were on or blocking the trails. Both groomers were out 9 to 10 hours to get through everything but still expect some mirror wackers as it will take a while to get all them. We got anywhere from probably 12 to 20 inches of snow so it is going to take a few days before the trails are really going to set up. We will be on a more consistent grooming schedule moving forward as long as weather cooperates and groomer drivers are available. Big thanks to some of the snowmobilers that stopped and help us clear some of the big trees and if you see something on the trails please try to pick it up to help our drivers out. Remember Ride Right and Ride Safe. #watersmeet #westernup #snowphotos
LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via AJ's Lodge and Oven >> Received an update from a rider who did the loop: 8E–13N–101–12W–1N–102. With the exception of 8 out-of-town trails, conditions are reported to be fantastic.”
And just in time—I watched our groomer coming down the AJ’s access trail.
Thank you so very much to our incredible groomers. We truly appreciate all you do. ❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A clipper low will bring widespread light snow to the U.P today with generally less than an inch of snowfall. The exception will be in the northwest wind snowbelts where up to 4” of dry fluffy snow is possible. It will be cold for New Years Eve and those headed out should dress accordingly; temperatures in the single digits and breezy conditions will result in sub zero wind chills. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA clipper low will bring widespread light snow to the U.P today with generally less than an inch of snowfall.
