Ontonagon Trail Report – 12/18

12/18 Today is a VERY cold, blue sky, sunshine day. O degrees at 11AM Wet areas will freeze up fast-that is a good thing. Groomers are running on schedule and if this VERY cold continues they will be able to drive the groomers over areas they have been skipping so to not break thru. Snowmobilers have been riding over those area and that is a great help in helping the freezing (They don’t break thru the ice that is formed)

Twin Lakes is at the official snowfall reading of 99 inches.

Prediction is 24+ inches of snowfall coming next week. That is a W O W and should make all snowmobilers very happy. So, now it’s a wait & see. Hopefully we can share snow with the rest of the Midwest. Might not have to do the Heikki Lunta after all.

If you have any questions on conditions between these reports, 906-288-3404 and we’ll tell you the best we can.

Under trail conditions on the right side of this page we aren’t given in-between choices to click but in our 138 miles, we go from fair to very good conditions. Trail #3 is very good and with this VERY cold, everything will just get better.

Dress warm, and ride safe.

Have fun & be safe. Ride with caution at all times.

Ontonagon Trail Report – 12/17

We did suffer some snow depth loss with the warm nights that we had. The good news is that our trails did not lose all their snow.-soft & watery. The next good news is that we are back in business. Since 12/15/14 at 4AM until now, we have received colder temps (YEA) and somewhere between 7 and 10 inches new snow. Hard to tell because of blowing. According to reports, we should be continuing to receive more. Our groomers did run last night and accomplished as much as possible, avoiding wet areas to give it more time to freeze up again. Snowmobiles running over these areas is a good thing to help get these places frozen solid again.

We will update here as reports come in even tho it could mean reporting more than once a day. AND we’ll try real hard to keep our thumbtack green.

Thinking we might have to do the Heikki Lunta dance again this year.

To date, official NOAA snowfall for Twin Lakes is 89 inches.

Have fun & be safe. Ride with caution at all times.
