Good News! We have snow, and Gaylord is grooming! We have between 8 to 11 inches of new snow from the storm Sun/Mon. They did their first run of grooming last night, and we just saw the groomer go by right now.
We had a group of riders just return from a ride to Starvation Lake. They reported a good ride. A few bumps but overall good riding. Jordan River has also been grooming.
Its finally here and everyone is eager to get out and enjoy the snow.
We look forward to seeing you soon. We are located directly on trail 7. Enjoy being able to park your snowmobile outside your room, and being on the trail within a minute after getting on your sled. Give us a call to make your reservation 989-732-2703 or 989-732-4914.

Trails are in fair condition, the county roads are smooth, but the trails are a little rough. The trail along Co. Rd. 407 to Holland Lake staging area doesn’t have much snow on it. The weather this week is for a warming trend until Friday Newberry is expecting 1 to 2" of the white stuff between now and Thursday. There are a lot of sledders north up near Grand Marais over to Pine Stump Junction.
Due to warm up we will not groom today. We need more snow
Trail #9 North 4" Base with 2 to 4"new snow last night. More snow North.
Trail # 45 North to the Co. Rd. 500 is in fair condition
Trail # 9 and #2 is fair to good in some areas.
(We are currently working with 2 groomers)

For those of you visiting our website FYI !! UPDATED 12-12-11
Snowmobile Trail # 8 between Marquette and Negaunee will be closed until end of December. Over the summer vandals started a fire on the wooden trestle bridge over the Carp River. The fire did extensive damage to the deck and unfortunately the wooden beams below. The Hiawatha Snowmobile Club has received a Grant from the snowmobile trail program to repair the structure. The deck planking has arrived but the large beams are not slated to be in until the LAST week of December.
