Petoskey Area Trail Report – 01/31

Groomer Tom went out today and put on some miles flattening in preps for this warm weather we are in store for. Try and get what we got flat, and maybe after it thaws a little, it’ll be still a bit flat when it freezes again.

He says its still pretty rough in most areas, rocks, leaves, debris, snirty around. Here’s a couple nice pix though of a couple nice spots.
We NEED MORE SNOW!!

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!!

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> URGENT TRAIL UPDATE - We just rode Trail 12 to Greenland. (Thanks for making the run, Wyatt!) Sunday's storm brought down more trees and the trail is all but impassable again.
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.

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.
