IRONWOOD / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority – ORV & Snowmobile Club – 01/22
Western UP remains the deepest, most widespread area of rideable snow in the u.p.. Note this map is conservative…!! The snow will continue to pile up in western wind lake effect belts today and we are forecast to receive several inches through the weekend as well. BE sure to LIKE and FOLLOW our page for these great updates! On our page is a live trail report from last night with tons of great info about current trail conditions. Trails rated GOOD with many sections VERY GOOD and shorter sections rated FAIR. Come on up and RIDE!

Western UP will surely be the best trails this weekend. Lots of fresh snow and a dozen of groomers across our region out packing it in. Good cold temps mean the new trail base is going to hold up for a great weekend. Get up here and support us while we suffer from these lockdowns….
