Lake Gogebic Trail Report – 02/21
LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – 02/21
Pics sent in by Steve last night covering 13n and 13s. We also covered 102 and 1n.. Currently snowing and so far have received +6". They are calling for snow all week with something substantial on Thursday.
Remember, even with new snow accumulating it too will create bumps until we have a chance to set each trail. Be patient. We have 2 new gentleman starting this week that will definitely help us out getting to everything quicker.
13n, 1s, 8e, 102 and 1n will all be covered tonight.
Enjoy and ride safe.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> Trail Report 1/11:
This is an easy one!! All of our trail system was groomed yesterday!
Every trail is in good to very good condition with the exception of Trail #1 along Lake Superior between Silver City and The Porkies Ski Hill. Very light snow, mostly snirt, slow down for any low area as they are bumpy.
Ride the 906. #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotosTrail Report 1/11:

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.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Hamilton's North Coast Adventures >> Trails remain EPIC! INCREDIBLE snow pack and great sled clubs continue to make trails beyond amazing! We spent 7 hours this morning out doing the lord's work cutting them bumps down from Ontonagon to Rockland to White Pine. Come ride!! Temps are perfect for winter adventures! This is the second take, I thought it was Sunday... 🙃 Anyways... GO PACK GO!! #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos
ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> TRAIL REPORT: We groomed Trails 137, 101 and 13, Trail 12 from Potato Farm Rd to White Pine, and Trail 1 from Trail 12 to Lake of the Clouds. All trails are in surprisingly good condition except Trail 1 along Lake Superior which has a thin, snurty ice base.
Big shout out to our VP Ricky and Mike from Superior Outdoor Maintenance & Services LLC for getting us out of a little jam this morning. #ontonagon #westernupTRAIL REPORT: We groomed Trails 137, 101 and 13, Trail 12 from Potato Farm Rd to White Pine, and Trail 1 from Trail 12 to Lake of the Clouds.

WEATHER UPDATE via Pictured Rocks Marine Weather Conditions >> Here's the updated 24-hour snowfall forecast through 7am Sunday (top figure) compared to the same forecast from two days ago (bottom figure). No big changes for the UP, although a bit more snow is now forecast for the Keweenaw and central UP. Not a bad way to make up for the recent warmup! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Dry weather persists for most of tonight. Then, light to moderate snow spreads across the UP early Saturday morning through the afternoon, with lingering lake effect snow in the north wind snow belts Saturday night. Lake effect winds down Sunday. Expect light snowfall amounts for most of the UP, but lake effect/enhanced snow may lead to locally higher amounts in excess of 4” across the snow belts of the western, north-central, and eastern UP by Sunday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaDry weather persists for most of tonight.

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
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
