NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> 1-11-26 Around 4 inches of snow last night. I see the groomers all made it out. I would guess the trails should freeze up flat now. I would imagine it will be lower traffic during the week. It would be a pretty good week to ride if you can sneak away! #newberry #snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Quieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning. A weak clipper system will bring another round of light snow tonight, but only expect another inch or so of accumulation in most locations. After another quiet day on Monday, another system brings a mix of rain and snow to the area on Tuesday. #miweather #keweenaw#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaQuieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Widespread snow will begin to spread west to east this morning while a heavier snowband looks to set up in the central UP this afternoon. Uncertainty still remains where this snowband will park, however, heavy snowfall rates will likely create difficult travel along US-41 from Delta to Marquette/Alger counties. Tonight, widespread snow transitions to lake effect snow for the north wind snowbelts.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating snow will continue to spread across northern Michigan today into Sunday. Accumulations remain consistent to this mornings forecast with 3-6” for most of the area and localized 7”+ possible where heaviest snow falls this evening and tonight. The combination of snow covered roads and reduced visibility will lead to hazardous travel across parts of the area. #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskey #soo #newberryAccumulating snow will continue to spread across northern Michigan today into Sunday.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> So I know you are wondering when we will be able to groom again after a inch of rain we have decided to let it freeze back up good before we go out I believe it would do more harm than good if we go out tonight so that being said grooming will resume tomorrow 1-10-26 thank you.. #newberry ...

The groomer crew was out all day yesterday running nonstop overnight into this morning. Trail 1 west of Silver City is thin until you hit the unplowed road to Lake of the Clouds. All trails need more grooming, but we also need traffic to help break up the frozen moguls down deep. Trails are rated GOOD with short sections rated POOR. Poor sections are closest to the lake.

WATERSMEET - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via U.P. Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club >> UPDATED 1/9/26- We seem to have weathered the slight warm up and trails seemed to have held up snow wise. Trails are a little choppy but our groomers are out so hopefully they will be back in good shape by tonight. We had to switch groomers going west so groomer tracker is not showing but will get that back up and running soon. A lot of trees came down again with the last little storm so please watch out for trees and remember Ride Right and Ride Safe. Watch out for groomers also. #watersmeet#westernup... See MoreSee Less
LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Bergland Area Groomer's report for 1-9-26. Friday evenings groom. The good and the bad. First we'll start with the good. Everything in our system will be groomed tonight before you all wake up. The Trail's were in very bad shape. Heavy traffic, and warm Temp's, we kinda expected as much. We had one machine leave early (4pm). Snow was rolling through the drag and blade but everything started freezing in tight quickly and traffic over a fresh groomed trail we started getting sugar snow. (Which doesn't pack well). There's plenty of snow out there but we need some new to help improve what we're working with. They are calling for a couple inches tomorrow which will help bring the moisture back. We'll keep plugging away and get everything back in shape but it will take a few passes... Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic#westernup#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
