WESTERN U.P. SNOWMOBILE REPORT
---------------------------------------
WESTERN U.P. TRAIL REPORT - 01/06/2010
We're living up to the reason we're called "Big Snow Country." Season Snowfall to date: 93" More in the forecast.
All the groomers in all areas are out.
Gogebic Range Trail Authority: Grooming is ongoing. 11 N has been double groomed-you'll run into some wetness on the west side going north, but it's marked with signs.
NOTE: Watch for Logging Trucks ON 11S-there is a quarter-mile narrow stretch and the Trucks have the Right of Way. Signs are posted in that area...the Trail has been freshly groomed. Trails 2-8 and 160 are all snow covered and groomed.
>From the Lake Gogebic Area-groomers are out on all trails... everything is freshly groomed and in good shape. IMPORTANT: There are Logging Trucks in the vicinity of the junction of 102 AND 8-W. You MAY NOT ride plowed roads-you MUST observe the snowmobile trail signs. (Have heard they may be issuing tickets.) Stay on the trails and if you see a logging truck, pull over immediately.
Watersmeet groomers reporting all trails being groomed daily and good conditions.
After two close calls, you need to be aware groomers can be out any time of the day or night, so PLEASE pull over or at least slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by whenever you see them.
We want you to have lots of fun and a great time...therefore, your
safety is our #1 priority.
ABOUT THE ICE:
It's time for our usual caution. There is no such thing as "safe ice"
due to underwater currents. If you plan to go out, be sure you talk to locals where you intend to ride for information about the ice depth and other factors...be aware you will be riding at your own risk.
