ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 01/04 Trail Report 1/4: Trail #12 was groomed from White Pine to Ontonagon and is in good condition. Trail #1 was groomed from White Pine to LOTC and has rough spots between South Boundary Road and The Porkies Ski Hill but otherwise is in good condition. Trail #11 (South Boundary Road) was groomed and is in very good condition. Trail #137 was groomed and is in very good condition. Trail # 13 was groomed from the intersection of Trail #137 to Norwich Road where we encountered some trouble and took PB 22 back to the shop. We will be back at it tonight. <> <> ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 01/04 NCSC had one of those days yesterday. Not sure how our system would be open right now without our very small group of dedicated operators. Dave from 906 Services Inc. has said “yes” everytime we had an issue and needed assistance. He and his wife Chloe have gone far over and above helping this club. The team operating out of Hamilton’s North Coast Adventures has kept the center of our trail system open and groomed. Mike at Superior Outdoor Maintenance & Services LLC has assisted whenever asked. Can’t forget our operators out of Ontonagon, Wyatt and Jay who have not only operated at night but rescued and worked on machines during the day. We are but a few people doing a big job. THANK YOU! <> <> Visit North Country Snowmobile Club – UP Website >>>> <> Visit North Country Snowmobile Club – UP on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Snow and ice return tonight, and continue through midday April 4th, 2026.

Today marks the final day of the snowmobile trail season in our area.
It’s been another great winter of riding here in the Western U.P., and we want to thank everyone who helps make these trails possible.
A huge thank you to:
❄️ Our volunteer groomer operators
❄️ The landowners who allow trails across their property
❄️ Our club members and supporters
❄️ The businesses that support the snowmobile community
❄️ And the riders who respect the trails
Remember that after March 31 the trails are officially closed for the season, so please stay off the trails once they close to protect them for next winter.
From all of us at Sno Valley Riders, thank you for being part of another great season.
Ride Right. Lead Right.
And remember — the groomer always has the right of way.
We’ll see you next winter. ❄️
