Boyne Area Trail Report – Mountainside Inn – 12/28

Petoskey Snowmobile Club
Base: 4 inches
Current Trail Conditions: Good

Local residents know how quickly the weather can change here in Northern Michigan. After last week’s rain and warmer temps, we now are under a winter weather advisory for lake-effect snow. The area received an inch or two yesterday and the forecast is for another 2-4 inches today with significant blowing. If we get closer to four inches, that will ensure that the groomers can continue to make their rounds and keep the trails in tip-top shape. We were getting a little worried about the base getting too thin to effectively groom without churning up dirt and debris. This extra snow is just what we need. We will post an update as soon as the groomers have a chance to make another round and report on additional snow accumulation and trail conditions.

Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 12/28

Happy New Year. Getting some off and on snow…enough to keep everything nice and white. Still reporting overall conditions as Fair to Good – some better, some worse.
Here’s an "INFO UPDATE" regarding Gas in Marenisco: While the Marenisco Gas Station on Trail 2 is closed, there is Gas available at Bam Bam’s Bar & Grill.
Conditions really haven’t changed as all the groomers are out working to keep the trails in as good shape as possible-
Gogebic Range Trail Authority: 11S is now open for riding…it’s a little brushy is some areas and they’re continuing to work on it. Trails 2-8 and 160 are all snow covered and freshly groomed…11N is still not groomed-the swampy area hasn’t frozen up so they are now packing snow in that area to get it groomable which they will do ASAP.
From the Lake Gogebic Area-the groomers are out on all trails…so everything is freshly groomed. Heads Up: You may encounter Logging Trucks at the junction of 102 AND 8 W-pull over if you do.

From Watersmeet groomers reporting all trails are being groomed daily and Good conditions.

Remember, groomers can be out any time of the day or night so PLEASE pull over when you see them.
