Lake Gogebic Trail Report – 11/30

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – 11/29

Quick update for everyone.. We’ve received 12"+ of the fluffy White stuff thus far and it’s still coming down. All heads have spoken and have the green light to go!! So what that means? Machines will start Monday (December 2nd 2024) Opening gates, setting trails, clearing debris and hazards, and filling water holes with snow and assessing swamps. Once all trails have been set we will begin packing and panning to create a Base. Then the grooming will start with mother nature cooperating of course. So far everything is looking good for an early start to the 24/25 season.. We’ll start updating more regularly with the winter season upon us. Thanks Everyone ❄️❄️❄️

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> ❄️ Ontonagon / Porcupine Mountains Trail Report ❄️
I went for a ride after all the fresh POW piled up on us this weekend, and WOW — these trails are absolutely fantastic right now.
We picked up about a foot of light, fluffy snow over the weekend, and Mother Nature isn’t done yet. Another 6–10 inches is falling today, adding to an already solid base. The cold weather is hanging on, and with steady lake-effect snow expected throughout the week, conditions are shaping up beautifully across the western U.P.
Trails are smooth, well-covered, and riding great — this is the kind of snow we wait all season for. If you’ve been thinking about making a trip, now is the time. The Western U.P. is definitely the place to be right now.
🏁 Riding the Ontonagon & Porkies area? Make it easy on yourself and stay right on the trail at Scott’s Superior Inn & Cabins — warm rooms, sled-friendly parking, and Lake Superior views when you’re done riding. Come ride hard, then relax with us! 🏁 #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos❄️ Ontonagon / Porcupine Mountains Trail Report ❄️

Ontonagon Trail Report – 11/30

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins – 11/30

❄ Winter Wonderland Alert! ❄
The snow has officially arrived, and Mother Nature has outdone herself—nearly 2 feet of fresh, powdery snow has blanketed the area, with even more in the forecast! 🌨 If you’ve been dreaming of winter adventures, this is your sign!
We’re thrilled to share that some of the local Snowmobile Club are hard at work and has plans to begin setting the trails starting next week. 🛷 These early preparations are crucial to ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride for everyone all season long.
🚨 A friendly reminder: During this critical trail-setting phase, we kindly ask all snowmobilers to hold off from using the trails until they’re officially ready. Riding on the trails too soon can make it challenging for the grooming process and affect the quality of the trails for the months to come. Let’s work together to kick off this season right!
We can’t wait to welcome you to this snowy paradise—whether you’re here for the trails, the views, or cozying up at Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins, where Lake Superior is the perfect backdrop for your winter getaway.
Stay tuned for updates, and let the countdown to an epic snowmobiling season begin! ❄✨
