It has been snowing again and the snow gauge now reads a 16″ plus base in the woods, and it’s still snowing. The traffic is low keeping the trails safe and in great shape. Few people and the groomers are out, a fantastic reciepe for a terrific ride.

Call for a special rate for the next 10 days.

GATEWAY MOTEL REPORTS – 12/29
http://www.trailreport.net/blog/?author=22

Guest that rode to the Falls and then around by Pine Stump reported trails as good with the exception of the section between CR 500 and the Falls. Other guest that rode south said trails were a little on the rough side. Traffic is picking up it seems so hit the trails early.

TASA normally heads out early evening on the North trails and morning on the South trail as it takes longer to groom the South trails. TASA grooms seven days per week weather permitting and no breakdown/problem with groomer(s).

Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 01/04

We’re living up to the reason we’re called "Big Snow Country." Season Snowfall to date: 91.4"
All the groomers in all areas are out.
Gogebic Range Trail Authority: Grooming is ongoing. 11 N has been double groomed-you’ll run into some wetness on the west side going north, but it’s marked with signs. 11S is freshly groomed – still a little brushy in some areas but work on it is almost complete. Trails 2-8 and 160 are all snow covered and groomed or being groomed.
From the Lake Gogebic Area-the groomers are out on all trails… everything is freshly groomed and in good shape. IMPORTANT: There are Logging Trucks in the vicinity of the junction of 102 AND 8-W. You MAY NOT ride plowed roads-you MUST observe the snowmobile trail signs. (Have heard they may be issuing tickets.) Stay on the trails and if you see a logging truck, pull over immediately.
Watersmeet groomers reporting all trails being groomed daily and good conditions.
After two close calls, you need to be aware groomers can be out any time of the day or night, so PLEASE pull over or at least slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by whenever you see them.
We want you to have lots of fun and a great time…therefore, your safety is our #1 priority.

ABOUT THE ICE:
It’s time for our usual caution. There is no such thing as "safe ice" due to underwater currents. If you plan to go out, be sure you talk to locals where you intend to ride for information about the ice depth and other factors…be aware you will be riding at your own risk.

Check out web cams throughout the area to see the snow amounts for yourself. Find links on our website at westernup.info
