IRONWOOD - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority - ORV & Snowmobile Club >> Happy New Year!!
We are unfortunately down one machine. The Tucker is down until we get a new track.
Good news is we have Carter and Jeremiah spending their New Year’s out grooming.
Trail 2 from the Wisconsin/Michigan boarder to Marenisco. We heard from a club member that trail 2 through Morgan Mine is holding up so we will hit that another night!
Trail 8 will also get done!
11s is still unsafe for any groomer to go down. PLEASE ride with caution!
We hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year!!

Also - 906 Services Inc. is pulling a sled out of this waterhole as I post this. Last week's warm-up wrecked the ice bridge we built and there is no bypass around the water.
PLEASE stay off this trail until we are able to get out there again and do some more repair work.😫 #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotosURGENT TRAIL UPDATE - We just rode Trail 12 to Greenland.

Here is the trail by trail update:
Trail 1-Groomed smooth heading south between Trail 2 and Presque Isle. A few branches and whips but getting better. Trail 1 between Marenisco and Trail 100 same condition. Trail 1 heading west and north from the 1/100 intersection is still closed due to logging.
Trail 2-Groomed and smooth through Marenisco to the groomer turnaround.
Trail 13-Rerouted from the 13/100 intersection to head north to Camp 6 road and then east/southeast to the Trail 13/2 intersection. Groomed and fairly smooth with a couple water hole/hazard section. Also a few sections with many low branch’s/whips so use caution. Trail 13 is closed heading southeast from the 13/100 intersection due to logging and has not been groomed or brushed.
Trail 100-Groomed and pretty smooth with a couple of minor rough sections and one minor water hole. Some low branches/whips but overall in good condition for this time of the year.

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!

Watersmeet – Western U.P. Trail Report – 01/19

WATERSMEET / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via U.P. Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club​ – 01/19

Groomer update from last night 1/18/25-
Groomers Al and Jeff went out and groomed our whole trail system Saturday 1/18. As pictures show some really good some very thin we had very high traffic yesterday with our groomers encountering close to 400 sleds when they were out. Trails between Lando and Watersmeet and the trails leaving Watersmeet are in the worst shape because of the lack of snow but they get much better going north and west. Because of the extreme cold the next few days we will not be sending groomers out for the safety of our drivers and to protect our equipment and will resume when conditions permit. Ride right and ride safe!

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

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!
