IRONWOOD / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority – ORV & Snowmobile Club – 1/23

Our groomer headed out yesterday around 2pm after a brief nap/thaw to receive preventative maintenance. Since Sunday, our lone groomer (one is broke down) has been off & in the barn a total of 8 hours. Which means expect groomers on trail during the day, it’s our only way to keep up. Trails required heavy dozing to flatten corners and cut bumps out last night. Many sections (Bessemer to Wakefield, Wakefield area) received 4 to 6 passes to relay the trail in an acceptable manner. THANKFULLY you riders called it an early night and trails were able to set up without traffic for 6-8 hours. As of 8am we still hadn’t seen tracks through Wakefield. Remember how easily trails whoop up when it is warm, hard throttling only rips trails up faster. These machines are for FUN so we know it’s a hard line to ride, but it’s your ride so you guys call the shots! We’ll pick up the mess after you like a begrudged parent, like normal.

IRONWOOD / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority – ORV & Snowmobile Club – 1/17

While one groomer is down our crew relishes the opportunity to show what the team we call our friends can do. Our Tucker was out 160 yesterday grooming and reopened the final closed section, hats off to Jerry, Joe & Scott for busting butt to get it done. They then signed a 1.5 mile plowed section for logging, if you see caution tape and logging signs slow down! Plowed roads should never be travelled faster than 25MPH. They swapped crews out by Saxon Harbor and groomed back to Ironwood and Bessemer. Then over night Matt Rogers took the rig down to Marenisco and he remains on the return route.

Another driver will relieve him in Wakefield to head back to Ironwood to groom the towns. He will bring it back to the barn for a few hours thaw for greasing/inspection before it heads out tonight for the weekend. We are running about 30-35 hours straight without shutting down. Why? We really like folks riding here supporting our club, sponsors and communities. Join us!
