The Lake Gogebic Groomers are reporting with the cold weather and snow we received this past weekend help with our trails. With the busy weekend our groomers out dragging the trails and getting them back in shape. Trail 8 near the county line groomers are still working on filling in the wet spot, along with the wet spot on Trail on south. We advise against riding on the highway to avoid the wet spot on trail 8 west as many sleds have be doing. This poses as a safety hazard to sleds and cars along with the possibility of getting ticketed by the law enforcement.

We had snow most of the day yesterday. Many times it was coming down so hard visibility was zero. Which caused lots of problems on the roads and even riding on the trail. Definitely time to slow down.

We picked up at least another 6 – 8 inches of fresh white flakes by last night.

The riding was rough yesterday. Snowing and blowing meant the trails were not so smooth even though the groomer was out.

Today the groomer should be able to get those trails in good shape and its looking like the rest of the week is going to be quiet.

This is the time to enjoy riding … during the week!
