What can I say other than snow, snow and more snow. We have gotten an average of 28 inches of new snow in the last week. Some places in Gogebic County got more and some got less. Temps for today will be in the 20’s and for the weekend highs will be in the 30’s with lows in the teens. Snowmobiling is the best it has been all season. With our low traffic and great condition now is the time to come and have a great time riding. Our time for riding is winding down we only have little over a week left before the trails close.
The Gogebic Range Trail Authority: With daily and nightly grooming ongoing groomers are trying to keep up with all the new snow we are getting. There is a trouble spot on 160. A groomer broke through a creek so use caution signs are posted. I am getting reports that trails are groomed and in great shape. I can only report on what I am told.

We received 8 inches of snow in the last 24 hours and we are still getting dumped on. We are supposed to get another 16 inches before this is done. Snowmobiling is the best it has been all season. With our low traffic and great condition now is the time to come and have a great time riding.

WOW!!! We have received anywhere from 8-12 inches of new snow across the Gogebic County Area. Our weather today is sunny with a high of 27. Tonight temps will be back in the teens and it looks like the weekend will be about the same. We have a chance of snow Thursday and Friday with cloudy sky’s on Saturday and Sunday. Snowmobiling is the best it has been all season. With our low traffic and great condition now is the time to come and have a great time.

With daily and nightly grooming ongoing, conditions will continue to be good. There is a trouble spot on 160. A groomer broke through a creek so use caution signs are posted.

Hopefully by tomorrow they will have the other groomer up and running. I will keep you posted as soon as I find out. Until trails are groomed they will be in poor conditions. After the groomers get out and groom the trails all trails should be in good conditions. Trail 11s and 11n are on the schedule to be groomer so as soon as they can they will get to these trails also. Please use caution corners are icy and trails are rough.

The Gogebic Range Trail Authority report the groomers are out. They are back on the regular grooming schedule so we should have a better report tomorrow. Trail 2 & 8 are groomed. Trail 160 is being groomed today. Expect icy conditions. All wet areas are now frozen. Conditions are still poor to fair. Trail 11N and 11S still have not been groomed. Please use caution trails are icy.
The Lake Gogebic groomers report: They have received approximately a foot new snow with snow in the forecast for the next week. Temps for the most part will be very cold. Groomers are out working to get the trails in shape. Here is a warning from Lake Gogebic Area.
WARNING: Although as a rule, we never comment about riding on Lake Gogebic itself, as the DNR (the sponsor of our grant money) does not recognize trails over open water – thus there are no trail markings on the lake. However, we’re experiencing a first ever problem on the lake that we want to make sure we inform our riders about for their safety. We have reports of two large holes of open water between the Hoop ‘N Holler Tavern (at the northwest corner of the lake) and Fishtales Resort (approx. 6 miles south of the Hoop on the west shore). There are reports, also, of ice heaves near these spots. Please use caution and ride slow enough to see far ahead of you. These conditions could change rapidly so please use caution.
The Watersmeet groomers still have not gone out. They did get about 5 inches of new snow but I still do not have an official report on the trails.

During the month of December we received 18.5”s of snow and currently there is about 6”s on the ground with more snow in the forecast the next few days. 120 miles of the 135 miles of the trail system are now open and groomed. Trail 13b South of Island Lake and Pine Lake is closed. Trail 7 in the past has been passable before it was groomed, there is now dangerous open water and is impassable and could possibly be closed for the season. Remaining trails are fair to very good. County is currently rolling their trails. Please remember this is early season riding so use caution. Check back for the latest conditions. Stop by the Chamber office for a current Snowmobile Map.
We ask all ATV's to remain off of the trails at this time to protect the trail base.

We have received 13.8 inches of new snow in the Ironwood area,with snow showers in the forecast through Sunday. Temps will be in the 20’s and 30’s with lows in the teens and 20’s. The fresh snow has helped to make for a fun experience snowmobiling.
GOGEBIC RANGE TRAIL AUTHORITY - Overall conditions are good with all trails being groomed. There is a small detour on 160 that is marked. You have to ride the side of the road on VanDerHagen from Sunset Road to the railroad tracks. On 11N, use caution around the water spot, signs are posted.
LOGGING IS PLANNED OFF OF SOUTH BOUNDARY ROAD SO WATCH FOR SIGNS AND PLOWED AREAS.
LAKE GOGEBIC AREA GROOMERS - They are packing the fresh snow and grooming all trails and all are in good condition. Logging has not started on Trail 1 going south yet, but watch for signs. Remember to watch out for the groomers.
U.P.THUNDER RIDERS OF WATERSMEET - They received 8 inches of new snow. All trails are being groomed and are in good condition. Still use caution on corners as they maybe icy.
Keep in mind the groomers will be out day and night, so watch for them and PLEASE slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by whenever you see them.
ABOUT THE ICE: There is no such thing as "safe ice" due to underwater currents. If you choose to go out, be sure you talk to locals where you intend to ride for specific information about the ice depth and other factors…be aware you will be riding at your own risk.
Here are a few gas station updates. The gas station in Paulding is closed, so plan ahead for filling up. On the up side the gas station in Marenisco is now open.

First off we did loose a good portion of our snow the good news is Downhill skiing is good to excellent Cross Country Skiing is very good to excellent if you are into those two sports now is the time to come and enjoy. Snowmobiling is another story the streets are bare trails are thin and some bare spots. If you want to trailer to Bergland than the trails are not to bad from what I have heard you can ride north, east and south not sure on that one. Sleds are riding from here but it can't be good everyone I talked to said not good you need to trailer. Forecast is not looking warm then cold but so far no real snow as of yet. Sam
