Our trails are rated fair with some poor sections. Trails are icy and the base is thin. We have not groomed since Saturday night in an effort to preserve the base. Trail 160 and 11s remain rated in good condition. Grooming will resume tonight to flatten Wakefield to Ironwood. Trails will improve with the new snow and cold temps we are expecting.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> BRUSHING. Our trails will look very different this season as we are getting caught up on brushing. Thank you to Mac for bouncing around and pushing the limits of not getting stuck to get LP Walsh Road back in shape. Snow farming will be much easier when groomers can see where they can get the good stuff from and not find stumps or boulders! #ontonagon #westernup
What can a son and father to to help old unkept trails from other growth and trail leveling?
IRONWOOD - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Powder Hound Lodge >> ....the lake effect snow continues!

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> 11-9-25 update from Gogebic Area Grooming.
We are currently sitting at 24° with a low of 17° this evening. Around 3"of snow has fallen over the past 24hrs and was our first measurable snowfall of the 25/26 season.
As you can see by the pictures we've been getting everything ready for the December 1st opening (Weather permitting).
Next up. We will be putting new cutting blades and guide plates on our Trail Setter drag.
We've heard the swamps are starting to make ice and the long range looks favorable for us to be able to get out there and start getting everything in shape🤞. Thanks everyone.. Think snow!! ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup

FROM Running Bear Resort >> Beautiful 3" of snow covering the resort this morning! Happy Sunday! #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotosBeautiful 3" of snow covering the resort this morning! Happy Sunday!
FROM Great Lakes Weather & Climate >> 📡 Statewide radar loop through 10 AM today (11/9) shows our two distinct snowmakers in progress.
The first one is the synoptic (aka "system") snow associated with a low that is moving east through southern Ohio. The counterclockwise flow around the low is shown over Metro Detroit as moisture interacts with decreasing temps, leading to this morning's snowfall.
Over the U.P. and Lake Michigan, the north winds are ushering in the coldest air of the season, which activates lake effect snow and transitions to the second portion of this snow event. Counties in the corner of southwest lower Michigan, northern Indiana and Illinois are set to receive a firehose of lake effect over the next 24-36 hrs, resulting in accumulations that could push one foot.
Portions of northern lower Michigan and the Saginaw Bay region are also set to receive lake effect snowfall through this evening, with amounts of 3-6 inches possible, with isolated higher amounts. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskey
