ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 02/25
Sorry folks. We talked with a few neighboring clubs and we feel the best decision is to not risk it tonight. Please be aware trail 1 from White Pine to Silver City has water hazards reappearing. There’s snow for grooming! Just not temperatures. 33 some odd days left of the season, we are thinking long term!

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 02/25
HOW ARE THE TRAILS?
Well – they are hanging in there, but took a major hit. Images from The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club trail 3 trestle bridges. Snow is thin on the road to Lake of the clouds. Trails in the ditch and anywhere that had snow-cancer deteriorated significantly yesterday. The forecast of 46 and clouds turned into 52 and sun with wind. Grooming remains paused. We will evaluate the temperature forecast for grooming tonight and we will try to get out there, but TBD. Trails are rated in FAIR condition with POOR areas and EXCELLENT areas. But, the entire system is full of bumps. We are seeing the return of northern Wisconsin riders as their trail systems shutter. We currently have 1 Pistenbully down that we hope to get back online for the weekend. SNOW IS FORECAST ALMOST EVERY DAY. A little shot of snow and our groomer operators can do magic!

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 02/23
Trails were not overly beat up last night as compared to trails in January. Mac and North Coast Steve knocked out the runs last night, but we missed 12 to Greenland. The Dubie Groomers/Brush Cutter drags we run are key to our trails holding up. The added wings make a single pass groom possible!! That and damn good operators out there cutting bumps down! We have zero concerns for trails after the warm up. It’ll take some work to move it all back, we just have a TON of snow!!
