WATERSMEET / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via U.P. Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club​ – 12/30

We are looking for trail reports from you! Please give us the heads up on any dangerous areas or downed trees. Pictures & location would be greatly appreciated

‼CAUTION NEEDED‼ We have several areas with water on Trail 2 west between Watersmeet and Trail 1 south out by Marenisco. They are not marked at this time so ride very carefully!! The groomers tried to run but with 1 1/2″ of rain yesterday the ground is saturated and we are creating a river with the weight of the groomer, so they are back in the barn for tonight. We’ll try again tomorrow after a night of cold temps. We have 6+ inches of new snow already and it’s supposed to snow for the next couple days, we’ll have the waterholes marked and the trails back in good shape as soon as we can.

IRONWOOD / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority – ORV & Snowmobile Club – 12/30

If travelling from Wakefield to Marenisco DO NOT take trail 8. Go to Marenisco and go north via the west shore. Riding the side of the highway will get you a ticket. #ridesafe

Trail 160 is closed due to water sections. Trail 2 1mi east of the transfer station “horseshoe bend”/Siemens Creek Bridge is a long plowed out section of trail. There was a water hole that was dug out, it is gravel bottom and 1-2” of slush when we left it. It is heavily signed please ride cautiously!! More details to come, Thank you Devin Greil for coming out to assist riders and warm them up in your Ranger Northstar! Be safe, it’s dumping snow on and off!
Edit:
Trail 160 is mostly rideable except for the water sections. We need to time to let it soak down.
Trail 2 water hole is 💯 navigable, the color is red gravel bottom.

The snow is just starting here in the far western most region of Michigan. The totals continue to change, and they are only heading one way….UP. We will be scouting trails this evening and tomorrow by sled. We will start grooming once snow winds down some tomorrow. Be sure to tip your wait staff and STAY ON THE TRAIL. Stay on trail signs are used in specific areas to remind us the temptation isn’t worth the risk
