Happy New Year. Getting some off and on snow…enough to keep everything nice and white. Still reporting overall conditions as Fair to Good – some better, some worse.
Here’s an "INFO UPDATE" regarding Gas in Marenisco: While the Marenisco Gas Station on Trail 2 is closed, there is Gas available at Bam Bam’s Bar & Grill.
Conditions really haven’t changed as all the groomers are out working to keep the trails in as good shape as possible-
Gogebic Range Trail Authority: 11S is now open for riding…it’s a little brushy is some areas and they’re continuing to work on it. Trails 2-8 and 160 are all snow covered and freshly groomed…11N is still not groomed-the swampy area hasn’t frozen up so they are now packing snow in that area to get it groomable which they will do ASAP.
From the Lake Gogebic Area-the groomers are out on all trails…so everything is freshly groomed. Heads Up: You may encounter Logging Trucks at the junction of 102 AND 8 W-pull over if you do.

From Watersmeet groomers reporting all trails are being groomed daily and Good conditions.

Remember, groomers can be out any time of the day or night so PLEASE pull over when you see them.

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

Base of 4 to 6 on north trails and 1 to 3 on town trail and south trails.

TASA groomed all trails yesterday/last night. Snowing now and more to come.
Town trail is rated as fair with a 1-3 inch base. There has been a slight change in the route through Newberry so watch the signs.

Trail 45 to the Falls is reported in fair to good condtion. Logging just before and after the Skyline Road. CR 500 to the Falls has wet areas and rough.

Trail 9 rated as good by groomers and riders. Trail 2/473 to Rexton is rated as fair with marginal base. 473 South of Rexton has about a seven mile section of plowed road due to logging. Watch for trucks and deer.

We have guests that are out riding now so later tonight or tomorrow I will have some rider input on the trails.
