LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – Jan 22 Trail Conditions

Lake Gogebic trails are being groomed daily and reporting to be in good condition with exception of 13 South and 1 South which need more snow. We’ve got a storm coming with Forecast amounts at this time for 6-16” overnight ut. Currently, on the North Shore of Lake Gogebic we are seeing what we believe to be the start of this predicted snowstorm. Temps this week look to be below freezing every night so grooming should be able to continue throughout the week. A one day warmup is headed our way later this week, but it doesn’t appear that it will have mitigating effects on trails condition.

Be sure to SLOW DOWN! Stay RIGHT! STOP AT ALL STOP SIGNS!

Conditions are updated as we receive reports from the groomers. Please continue to check back and please send us your photos and comments!!! Have a great week and we will hope to see you soon!

PLEASE STAY ON TRAILS. WE HAVE BEEN GETTING COMPLAINTS THAT SOME HAVE NOT BEEN STAYING ON TRAILS, RIDING ON UNMARKED TRAILS CAN LOSE EASEMENT FOR OUR TRAIL SYSTEM SO PLEASE STAY ON TRAILS!!

THE GOGEBIC RANGE TRAIL AUTHORITY REPORTS:
01/22/2018

Warm weather allows snow to move quickly and easily so the clubs have a large task this week. Most trails have a hard base intact, except for the corners where they are swept and bermed up. Groomers will be out non-stop as temperatures remain below freezing to put the snow back into place and cut out all the bumps. Expect some thin areas and icy corners as you spot-on mentioned. Wakefield to Hurley was groomed this morning, groomer is coming into Ironwood right now. Trail 8 was groomed Saturday 12am-7am, trail 2 to Marenisco. Our club personally has never seen whoops that big on our trail system as we did on Saturday. Groomer runs that normally take 4 hours took 7. That’s how much more work warm temps cause us!

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA GROOMER REPORT:
Jan 19 Update no new report this morning.

Groomers were out in full force last week with the cold temperatures. This weekend, the temperatures are supposed to get to the high of 43 degrees on Friday and 32 degrees on Saturday. This makes it difficult to groom at these temperatures. We will be grooming at night when the temperatures get below freezing to set up the trails. You may get a smooth trail in the morning, but expect bumps during the afternoon hours. Hope everyone has a good weekend and stay safe while riding the trails. And remember to stay on your side of the trail and stop for stop signs.
