There is currently a logging operation on the trail 493 (the plains area) for 7 miles. This logging will continue all winter. I have upgraded the trails over all as good but there are areas that are in poor shape and some in Excellent shape. Ride with caution! West End: West end of the island is in Good to Excellent shap East End: That little rain we had the other night was not kind to this area. The east shore from the Marble Head look out to Glen Cove along the shore line is poor. The shore line that continue’s to the Maxton Plains is Very Poor with little snow, lots of running water and logging. If you stay out of those areas the rest of this end of the Island is in great shape. You can go to Marble Head you just have to take trail 496 at Cornbeef Junction and return that way. Dont try to continue the loop. You will get wet and muddy. Remember it takes less than 15 mins for hypothermia to set in once your wet so use extreme caution near these water holes. * Let it Snow * Let it Snow * Let it Snow * Let it Snow * Let it Snow * Let it Snow * Let it Snow * <> --- Complete Report

Latest Snow: 10154233020518182 -- Trail Report: Spring, Spring, Beautiful Spring it makes me want to dance and sing... I actually wrote that on a little poem in first grade. I didn’t know back then that I would want to have snow all the time. Today is the first day of spring and its 49 degrees here in Frederic. The u.p. was still going full force this past weekend with motels being full and groomers out and about. A guy from Bowling Green Ohio left his truck and trailer out back here and then headed up to Paradise with his friend from Freemont, Mich. They had good riding up there and said they saw several groomers but also said it was getting pretty dry getting into Grand Marais. So the end is getting closer even up there. I even managed to get my truck buried only about a mile from the shop here on a trail road where my plow frame bottomed out on it and we had to walk back here. I left the truck overnight and came back on sunday to get it out. It was a nice walk down trail 7 but don’t let the snow in the pics fool you as there are a lot of dry grass fields and parts of the trail out there too. The pics below are the guys that came back from the u.p. as they switched sleds around in their trailers out back of the shop here. That’s about it for now. Thanks for checking in.

Indian River - Conditions: Good Updated: 03 / 02 By: Indian River Snowmobile Grooming Club

Trail Report: The trails were not groomed last night because of the intensity of the storm. We do have at least one volunteer going out tonight to work the snow and try to pack it down. We really did get a foot of snow yesterday. The very bottom of it is wet and dense. What fell after was lighter in substance because the temperature dropped quite a bit. The wind also drifted a lot of the snow that fell later in the day. If we had a base this new snow would be a no-brainer to work with. Because there was virtually no base left it’s like starting over at the beginning of the season (think back to late November/early December). We encourage people to get out and enjoy this fresh snow that’s everywhere. It’s beautiful out and all side roads and road shoulders have good cover for sleds. Riding conditions should be good and it will be like blazing trail out there. Enjoy. The sun is out but temps are in the single digits today so bundle up. The groomers will do what they can with this snow tonight.

Latest Snow: 640224682824084 -- Trail Report: February 28th, 2017 We have cold temps in the forecast until Saturday with some snow predicted throughout the week. However, this weekend is calling for temps in the 40’s for highs. At this time groomers will not be going out anymore due to very wet conditions in many areas. Trail 8 west should be completely avoided as much of it is under water. A large beaver pond has created a large wet area on trail 1 south, south of the Gogebic Lodge. Trail 8 east is somewhat bare to due high winds earlier in the week. Trail 1 north and 13 north are mostly ride able but in rough condition and you should watch out for wet areas that may be opening up. Trail 13 south is also ride able but also may have some wet areas opening up. Unplowed Forest Service roads can still be ridden, you can stop at one of their offices (Watersmeet, Ironwood & Ontonagon) for maps or information. Remember to stay off the highway between JW’s Restaurant and the gas station in Bergland as this is not a trail and you will be ticketed. Unfortunately the long term weather predictions look like this coming weekend may be your last chance to do any snowmobiling in our area this season. Warmer temps and no snow for the first couple of weeks of March will put an end to our trails. I will, however, keep you posted if we get a late season snowstorm in March – those are always fun. . *If you’d like additional information about our area please contact The Lake Gogebic Area Chamber of Commerce at 888.GOGEBIC or www.lakegogebicarea.com.

Lake Gogebic - Conditions: N/A Updated: 12 / 05 By: Walley Lodge

Trail Report: The weather is looking good for the start to our snowmobile season, however we do need more snow. Yesterday fed us a wintry mix, which resulted in about 6-7” of snow and a some icy rain. The good news is that the temperatures are going to drop to single digits for the next few days and we are forecasted to receive up to a foot of snow in the next 5-10 days. That is a recipe for a great base on the trails, we just need to be patient and see what happens. Groomers should be going out this week to start to get the trails ready. Couple of notes: Use caution on trails 1 south and 13 south as they will be very wet, and there may be a possible reroute on trail 102 due to logging, (however, this will be a temporary re-route). Also, bridge on trail 8, East of Bergland is out and it is marked. The trail will be rerouted over the dam at the north end of the lake where the trail was a couple years ago. As was reported, a couple of sleds have been spotted on the lake, but that’s not recommended as yet! Snowcross is at Blackjack this week and it should get everybody in the mood (not that you aren’t already!). Check back for the latest and we will look to keep you updated. You can always check out the view of the lake at www.walleyelodge.com or email us at iceman@walleyelodge.com . Jim & Mary Beth: 906-575-3557 --- Complete Report

Newberry - Conditions: Good To Excellent Updated: 01 / 11 By: Halfway Lake Resort

Trail Report: Yesterday we had blizzard conditions followed by brief light rain followed by more snow. We measured 22" (deeper snow north) of dense snow on the ground this morning. On and off trail people are reporting "awesome" conditions and "the best we've seen." We have heard this from multiple groups heading in all directions. This morning, we are seeing additional accumulating snow and temps will remain cold through the weekend. We are not making daily updates to the trail report unless there is a change in condition. I will not update trail conditions over the weekend since temps will remain steady and trails are perfect. Trail conditions will change minute by minute, trail by trail, based on the amount of traffic since the trail was last groomed. Groomers are out doing their thing and conditions are favorable for them, as well. I am thankful for all of the dedication these people put into our trail systems. Please remember that due to the length of our trails it takes 12-16 hours to groom one way! 1/8/17 Boy! I really don't know what to tell you other than it hasn't stopped snowing. We have had accumulation every day for 5 days and measured two feet on the ground today. Riders have been all smiles, extending stays and reporting awesome conditions on and off trail. There are still come concerns regarding low lying areas to the south, so please follow groomer reports in regards to swamp/south trails. This is a low traffic period (prior to MLK weekend) and trails are beautiful. Things typically pick up this coming weekend and remain busy until the end of the season. You never know what the future will bring, but my hope is this pattern of beautiful lake effect will continue. Local clubs (Grand Marais sno trails, Seney, Paradise Area Night Riders and Taqhamamenon Area Snowmobile Assoc) are reporting trail closures, yellow flags or a section of trail that is closed. Please educate yourselves before you ride and ride safely. *** Trail report ends here *** Read below for vacancy :) We are receiving a lot of calls for the upcoming weekends. To save on time and phone calls- This week we have openings through Friday night, but no vacancy Saturday or Sunday 1/14 or 15. Openings resume Monday-Thursday with no vacancy 1/20 or 21. Vacancy resumes 1/22. Thank you! Ride right from your door in a different direction each day! We are located 12 mi NW of Newberry (Halfway to Lk Superior) and 7 miles south of Pine Stump Junction.

Ontonagon - Conditions: Good Updated: 03 / 08 By: Ontonagon

Latest Snow: 325567991142558 -- Trail Report: 325567991142558 Trail Report: We are getting snow, and the surface ground has refrozen, but we have not groomed for 2 days as our trails were poor at best with many bare spots. This is a current pic of our backyard. Yesterday, this was bare ground, puddles, and a few snow banks. We need more snow and cold to re-establish our base here. We will keep you posted as this cold front develops and hopefully kicks us some more of the white stuff. The Keweenaw received a lot more snow this winter than we did because of the wind patterns. We would love to have you here, but you may want to consider heading a little farther north at this time to ride. Here's a trail report from our Northeastern neighbors..... "Snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open and trails are in fair to good condition. The groomers will go out as weather permits. We are unable to groom on Trail #3 between the Portage Lift Bridge and South Range due to extremely low snow cover. Trails south of South Range to Twin Lakes are still being groomed. All of trail #122 is closed for logging. Remember when you’re out on the trails to watch out for the groomers. They have the right away. Use caution around logging areas." <> It's snowing!! We got a couple inches last night and the surface ground is re-frozen. The high winds took the cover off my sled and my mitts filled with snow, but who cares - it's snowing!! Pray for good ju-ju and a couple more feet! <> -- Photos --- Complete Report

Ontonagon - Conditions: Fair Updated: 02 / 25 By: Scott's Superior Inn

Latest Snow: 969181849784848 -- Trail Report: WE got 4-8" of fresh snow yesterday, which helps but hasn't solved all our problems, we still have a fair amount of water which makes it impossible to groom every trail every where, so what we are doing is grooming the areas we can and going around the spots we can't, you can get sleds through these areas but not a 40,000 lb groomer, hopefully it will stay cold and we get more snow so that we can do everything soon. WE still have lots of lodging available , including our lakefront chalets, and 3 bd. rm suite, all sleep up to 8 , we are located right on trail#12 , and just a mile from food and gas .Stay where the groomer lives!! --- Complete Report

Paradise Area - Conditions: Good Updated: 03 / 19 By: Paradise Area Night Riders

Latest Snow: 192336687458709 -- Trail Report: March 19, 2017 31 degrees this morning when I crawled outa bed. It is now 40 at noon and kinda foggy and misty. All trails were run yesterday, just like I said. They all turned out about the same too.....kinda mushy and slushy. Kinda sad, but I think this is it. The trails are fading really fast with holes opening up and bare spots with dirt and grime. Good by to ANOTHER rotten winter season, this makes what....2 or 3 in a row now?? If some miracle happens I`ll get back on here but I think I`ll say SEE YA`S NEXT FALL. We will be posting on our Face Book page for upcoming brushing and signing weekends if anybody wants to come UP and help so check back every now and again.

Latest Snow: 859219827519786 -- Trail Report: 793337994107970 SENEY AREA UPDATE via Mater's Stop -N- Go Gas Station - Ok, kids, today might be the last day for a pretty solid ride, we've had approximately a dozen trailers in today, the reports from riders is that you can still find rideable snow just south of Grand Marais, north of Seney to the Bear Trap or toward Pine Stump... supposed to be a clear but warmer day today, no rain... tomorrow there's an 80% chance of rain... if you are close enough to us up here, come up and ride, if you don't trust the conditions for your own personal sled then grab your neighbor's sled, your wife or husband's sled that is never used anymore or go rent a sled, the time is now, lol!!!..... <> Seney Snowmobile Association Trail Report Reported On: March 24th, 2017 @ 2:37pm Groomer Report Spring conditions are fair to good! Time for the last Oorah! Temps will be rising again next week. Probably 18-24″ up north yet in the woods. Two track riding is awesome! We took 3 groomers to the Bear Trap last night. Was really surprised how much snow was left up there. Don expected the grade to be all frozen ice but it wasn’t. The trail passing the park in town is a little ruff with brown snow where we couldn’t get in there with the groomer. As soon as we passed the park we were able to groom up on the bank as we have been for awhile now. There is lots of snow there and its even white. lol. 2 groomers went up thru trail 43 from the detour. Its snow cover for the most part with a few icy/dirty corners; of course the snow will be thinner there than further north. Don and I continued up cty rd 450 instead of taking the detour to see how far we could get. There was a small section we couldn’t do cause it was too narrow for the drag but sleds are still using it. We were able to groom as far as just before the park-n-ride. From there the trees forced us down on the road but sleds could cross behind them and hit the trail no problem. We all met where the trail crosses the road and continued to the Bear Trap. Snow was thin in spots but we were able to distribute enough to cover most everything. Still have a couple dirty/icy corners. The railroad grade has lots of snow. Just a few areas that were solid ice of only one that was non-negotiable. You just have to ride it out, maybe 1/4 mile long. Still need to be aware that there is ice underneath all the thin areas and in some of the corners. As I posted in FB, we passed Grand Marais’ groomer on the grade so they are also gearing up for the weekend. It did rain and spit snow most of the night, so it probably set very hard. Might have to wait for the temp to rise in the morning to head out riding. Josh is out in the John Deere grooming 431 as I write this. Pretty sure the scenario will be the same but if he reports differently when he gets back then I’ll let you know. I do know that the side of M-77 is totally brown with snow/ice in the ditch only and we won’t be grooming that. To ride trail 431 you’ll have to trailer up to the park-n-ride. The park-n-ride for trail 43/8 is closed because County rd 450 is closed to vehicle traffic. There is an area that is really soft, bad, and need of repair. A large truck got stuck in there a week or so ago passed where the trail crosses and they had a hard time getting it out so the county closed the road. Still lots of snow up north just have to get to it. Town accesses will be bad everywhere. Mother nature came thru for our area with this year. We even had good snow for our veterans ride. Thanks to our groomer operators, trailboss, local businesses, and members who helped make this season a successful one. A special thanks to Allegan Snowmobile Club for loaning us their groomer. It was a long season for our operators/mechanics this year keeping the equipment running on the trails. Over 300 hours spent in the barn turning wrenches and the John Deere spending 41 days of a 110 day season in the shop. Hitting the hardest was the tragic loss of one of our own, Tyler Barker, while performing maintenance on a drag. We will have a dedication ceremony for him at the snowmobile bridge over the east branch of the Fox River in May. More details will follow. <> --- Complete Report --- More Report Links

Sidnaw / Bruce Crossing - Conditions: Fair To Good Updated: 03 / 05 By: Sno Valley Riders Snowmobile Club

Latest Snow: 136797989679726 -- Trail Report: Groomer Report: We did groom what we could on Friday evening, it will be touch and go from now on. There are many water holes and bare areas spread all over the trail system. I would say overall our system is in fair condition but just barely, if it gets as warm as predicted Sunday and Monday we will probably be back to poor condition. There will be areas of good riding on some of the un-plowed forest roads but some of them are hard to get to. Please DO NOT climb the “Military Hill” from the highway, US 45, to the fence, we have ongoing erosion issues there and the hill climbers are adding to the problem. YOU COULD CAUSE THIS MAJOR TRAIL TO BE CLOSED IF YOU CONTINUE! Please ride on your own side of the trail and STOP at the stop signs! Trail #3 North to Rockland is FAIR. Trail #8 from Ewen to trail #3 North is FAIR. Trail #3/8 East from Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 South intersection is FAIR. Trail #3/8 West from Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 North intersection is FAIR. Trail #3 South from the railroad grade to the CC road is FAIR. Trail #8 from the trail #3 South intersection to Trout Creek is FAIR. Trail #8 from Trout Creek to Kenton is FAIR. Trail #8 from Kenton to Sidnaw is FAIR. Trail #8/15 from Sidnaw to the trail #109 intersection is FAIR. Watch for the groomers, they take up most of the trail and have the right of way! Please pull over and DIM your lights for them, they have a long night out there. Remember, you can get off the trail, the groomer can not. When I report “base” that is the depth of the un-groomed snow on my yard South of Sidnaw. There is no possible way to accurately report what the depth is under your snowmobile on the groomed trail, it varies widely. Have a fun and safe trip, thank you for riding our trails and visiting our local businesses! <> --- Complete Report --- More Report Links

Silver City - Conditions: Good To Excellent Updated: 02 / 08 By: Mountain View Lodges

St. Ignace - Conditions: N/A Updated: 02 / 09 By: Straits Area Snowmobile Club

Trail Report: Trails are in really good shape out there, except areas where they are not. Let me explain better, most of our trails have less then 12” of compacted snow on them, but they are in really good shape with an ice base, and good riding snow that is groomed up very well. Now, we didn’t get much out of the Tuesday ‘storm’, so we have the same problems out there as the past few weeks – with a bit of good news mixed in. First off, the old RR yard parking are North of the ice rink is extremely thin. If you park there, then pick your way up the sides or just tough it out, and things are much better when you get to the I-75 overpass. Then going North on Trail #2, you will have 4 areas in the open that are snow covered, but have rocks poking through. Nothing we can do with that right now, they are about 100’ long each – just skip over them. Also, the South several miles of Trail #471 was being plowed for logging. It was ice, but now has some gravel on it. Without new snow, unfortunately it will suck. Good news is I made a deal with the road commission, and they are going to stop plowing about 2/3 of what they were plowing before, and only do what is necessary for the loggers. So for about 1 mile both West and South of the Castle Rock / Round Lake road intersections it will be plowed. Now I know a lot of you know exactly what I am talking about here, but many don’t so today’s trail candy is a map of the problem areas. I have indicated the area they were plowing, and the area that they will prow in the future on there. You will notice that everything North of Moran is good to go, so don’t overthink it and conclude that you can’t ride this area, you will have a great time. Also, as you may recall, the weather sites I was checking were split on Tuesdays storm, some were going with 5”+, but the one I trust was 1-2”. Well we got about 1”. Now lets talk forecasted snow. Everybody is saying that our whole trail system will get snow on Friday. Some are showing only 1”, however the one I trust, the one that has been the most right all season is showing us getting a solid 3” from Iggy to Trout Lake. It is supposed ot have decent water content, we will be good to go for sure everywhere. Remember the Bent Ski Classic adventure run is this Saturday, so come on out and have fun with the whole family. The weather forecast is fantastic for riding this weekend. I will be at the trail stop at the Northern intersection of Trails #2 & #471. Hope to see you there. <> --- Complete Report

Western U.P. - Conditions: Poor Updated: 03 / 06 By: Western U.P. Bureau

Latest Snow: 10154459398051141 -- Trail Report: It looks like the trails are pretty well shot...temps today will be in the 50's with rain. Highs again tomorrow will be in the 40's and back to the 20's which doesn't do a thing for us. Trails are overall poor. Lots of water and bare spots. If anything happens where we get dumped on and there is a 360 degree turn around we will let you know. It is still possible to ride on county forest roads and in the woods where the there isn't much sun but it will be here and there. Sorry, I don't have a better report but it is what it is. Here are the last reports I received from the clubs. GRTA reports- Trail Condition: Poor Last Groomed: February 25th, 2017 Base: 14" Past 24hr: 3" Reported On: February 27th, 2017 @ 10:35am Trail 2 from Hurley to Ramsay Crossing rolled 2/24 Marginal to poor. Trail 2 from Ramsay Crossing to Wakefield rolled 2/24,poor. Wet area near Blackjack Ski Hill has returned/repoened. Please ride cautiously! Trail is very icy. Trail 2 from Wakefield to Marensico is good. Groomed 2/26 Trail 8 from Bingo's to Tula Crossing is marginal condition, will be groomed early this week. Trail 160 from Walmart to Montreal River (WI) Overall Rating: Scheduled bridge completion is 2/15, this is an active construction site please say out! We need immediate help brushing and signing this trail. We cannot groom it without DNR signing/brushing approval so it is a critical task to get this completed. We need people during the week and the weekend. Please contact us (info@gogebicrangeta.org or facebook us)so we can include you on the planning conversation(email). Trail 11 N & 11S are closed. The Gogebic Area Grooming trail report- Trail Condition: Poor Last Groomed: February 13th, 2017 Base: 2" Past 24hr: 3" Reported On: March 02nd, 2017 @ 3:05pm Groomer Report March 2nd, 2017 Well, we have been receiving snow over the last few days, about a 3-inches each day, which should help cushion the trails. Right now we’ve been getting snow squalls off of Lake Superior off and on all day – sunny one minute, white out the next. Groomers will not be going out as we have to deal with some pretty serious wet areas on most of our trails. I know I’ve been hearing that everyone else is grooming all around us, but the thing to remember is that 99% of our trails run through wooded or swampy areas that will have wet areas, where as most of the trails in surrounding areas run on railroad grades and are easy grooming.. For the most part our trails cannot be groomed right now without serious damage to some very expensive groomers. The grooming entity to our west learned that lesson the hard way a few years ago when they had to have a groomer pulled out of a large wet area and it basically was torn apart by the time they got it out. Unfortunately, \the one railroad grade trail we do have (8 east) is so exposed that the high winds have blown most of the snow off, making grooming a non issue. Some riders who stopped in earlier today said they did make it across trail 8 west, although it did have some bad spots. This, however, was early in the day after a near zero night temp. Once we hit the weekend warm up look for this trail to become impassable again. The best option is still our northern most trails, 102, 1 north and 13 north, but keep speeds to a minimum as they will become pretty rough. You can still ride unplowed Forest Service roads – for more info on that you can stop at one of their offices in Watersmeet, Ironwood or Ontonagon. I do believe this will probably be the last weekend for snowmobiling as highs in the 50’s are predicted for Sunday & Monday. I will keep you posted if we have any big weather changes later in the month. Ride safe! As previously posted, please stay on the trails in Bergland. You are not allowed to ride the hwy. through town and may be ticketed. U.P. THUNDER RIDERS OF WATERSMEET REPORT Trail Condition: Fair Last Groomed: February 28th, 2017 Base: 4" Past 24hr: 1" Reported On: March 01st, 2017 @ 4:38pm Groomer Report Report for Today; 18 degrees conditions are fair to poor but rideable.
