Sidnaw – Bruce Crossing Trail Report – 02/21

Groomer Report:
Trail Condition: Fair to Good
Last Groomed: February 20th, 2023
Reported On: February 21st, 2023 @ 11:02am

Watch out for icy corners.

The warmer temps did not help us at all but we are getting some snow now so conditions should improve.
Conditions vary on our trails, from good in most places to fair in other areas. Where trail 3 and 8 are together on the old RR grade is the worst, heavy traffic on this stretch takes itโ€™s toll.

Tickets are being issued by Law Enforcement officers for not stopping at STOP signs.

We groom every day that the weather conditions and equipment allows. There may be unforeseen circumstances that prevent us from going out, like a major blizzard and being snowed in at our homes or equipment breakdowns.

There is log hauling just north of Sidnaw for a few miles, trail 8/15. Be cautious of logging trucks and equipment in the area.

While several areas may see a lull in the precipitation this afternoon, a rain/snow mix may be seen this afternoon in many areas.

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Bergland Area Groomer's Report for the evening of Thursday 2/27/25. Trail's covered 13n to Rockland, 1n to White Pine, 102 to South Boundary, 13s to trail 2 and 8e. The good and the bad... 102, 13n and 1n all survived and will take a few passes to get in better shape. 13s along East Shore Rd., the operator ran out of snow around the south end of Lake Gogebic. Hoop n Holler access trail was attempted but had to be backed out of as it was under water. Sleds were still able to get through, however doubtful it will be able to be groomed again this season. Another swamp section has opened up in the corridor and not able to be crossed with a Groomer but sleds can get through that section as well. 8w was scheduled to be groomed tonight but with all the water holes opening up we thought probably a better idea to take a machine through there without a drag. (Which will most likely happen tonight). We're under a Winter weather advisory which will help conditions tremendously but will also hide problem area's. Ride with caution! Think โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ and let's keep this going till March 31st! #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos ... See MoreSee Less

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> THURSDAY NIGHT 2/27/2025
GROOMING UPDATE
President Mac and Groomer Operator Wyatt are headed out later this evening in our Lulich Implement, Inc. New Holland tractor and our 2022 PistenBully. We continue to have fuel trouble codes over-the-phone support couldn't eradicate in PB19, so only two groomers out tonight. Groomer's will be inspecting the trails for hazards, knocking down moguls and starting the painful task of setting trails back in. Please be patient with the area trail's as our groomer runs take remarkably longer after a 5 night hiatus from regular grooming maintenance.
We are grooming "the loop" out of Ontonagon and the ROADS of the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park - the Porkies. Due to water along trail 1 from White Pine to Silver city, we cannot get our tractor in there to groom. We are also skipping short sections along the lake due to marshes filling back up destabilizing the trail base for the big tractor. We just can't risk getting stuck! All of this is a plan and subject to change due to mechanical issues or changes in trail conditions, which we will relay.
Forecasts are calling for 1-12" of fresh snow. Having our second night of grooming back in action tomorrow night, Friday, SATURDAY RIDING SHOULD BE SOMETHING SPECIAL!
Thank you to all the volunteers across the UP making this snowmo-tourism machine work! #ontonagon #westernupTHURSDAY NIGHT 2/27/2025

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> Snowmobile Trail Report โ€“ Ontonagon Area
I took a 50-mile loop today, riding Trail 137 out of Ontonagon to Rockland, Trail 13 from Rockland to Greenland, and Trail 12 back to Ontonagon. Despite the recent warm-up, I was pleasantly surprised by the overall good to excellent conditions.
Trail 13 was freshly groomed in some sections, making for a smooth and enjoyable ride. There were a few short areas with exposed ground and wet/slushy spots, but nothing major. Trail 12 from Greenland was the roughest section, mainly because a groomer hadnโ€™t been through in several days, so it was on the bumpier side. I also encountered a few short stretches of snirt, but again, nothing that significantly impacted the ride.
The good news is that a couple of inches of fresh snow are expected before the weekend, and colder temps are returning, which will help firm things up. Once groomers are back in full operation, conditions should improve even more.
Itโ€™s not quite as perfect as before the warm-up, which had some of the best riding Iโ€™ve seen in years, but we still have plenty of snow and great riding conditions in the western U.P. Donโ€™t let the recent warm stretch scare you offโ€”thereโ€™s still lots of fun to be had! #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos

SNOW FALL FRIDAY WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> TIMING POST! This is for Friday, February 28th into Saturday, March 1st.
Notice the heavy snow across the UP through almost the entire day. This is why some areas will go up to 11" or maybe even slightly more.
Winds will be HOWLING. Gusts over 50mph are likely. This can lead to blizzard conditions. I wouldn't be surprised to see some typical problem spots have road closures (M-28). #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey

While several areas may see a lull in the precipitation this afternoon, a rain/snow mix may be seen this afternoon in many areas. As the low pressure passes this afternoon, winds swing to the north and become quite gusty, with Lake Superior shoreline locations potentially seeing gusts to 45 mph. A rapid cooldown is then expected with lake effect snow forming tonight. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Bergland Area Groomer's Report for the evening of Thursday 2/27/25. Trail's covered 13n to Rockland, 1n to White Pine, 102 to South Boundary, 13s to trail 2 and 8e. The good and the bad... 102, 13n and 1n all survived and will take a few passes to get in better shape. 13s along East Shore Rd., the operator ran out of snow around the south end of Lake Gogebic. Hoop n Holler access trail was attempted but had to be backed out of as it was under water. Sleds were still able to get through, however doubtful it will be able to be groomed again this season. Another swamp section has opened up in the corridor and not able to be crossed with a Groomer but sleds can get through that section as well. 8w was scheduled to be groomed tonight but with all the water holes opening up we thought probably a better idea to take a machine through there without a drag. (Which will most likely happen tonight). We're under a Winter weather advisory which will help conditions tremendously but will also hide problem area's. Ride with caution! Think โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ and let's keep this going till March 31st! #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos ... See MoreSee Less

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> THURSDAY NIGHT 2/27/2025
GROOMING UPDATE
President Mac and Groomer Operator Wyatt are headed out later this evening in our Lulich Implement, Inc. New Holland tractor and our 2022 PistenBully. We continue to have fuel trouble codes over-the-phone support couldn't eradicate in PB19, so only two groomers out tonight. Groomer's will be inspecting the trails for hazards, knocking down moguls and starting the painful task of setting trails back in. Please be patient with the area trail's as our groomer runs take remarkably longer after a 5 night hiatus from regular grooming maintenance.
We are grooming "the loop" out of Ontonagon and the ROADS of the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park - the Porkies. Due to water along trail 1 from White Pine to Silver city, we cannot get our tractor in there to groom. We are also skipping short sections along the lake due to marshes filling back up destabilizing the trail base for the big tractor. We just can't risk getting stuck! All of this is a plan and subject to change due to mechanical issues or changes in trail conditions, which we will relay.
Forecasts are calling for 1-12" of fresh snow. Having our second night of grooming back in action tomorrow night, Friday, SATURDAY RIDING SHOULD BE SOMETHING SPECIAL!
Thank you to all the volunteers across the UP making this snowmo-tourism machine work! #ontonagon #westernupTHURSDAY NIGHT 2/27/2025

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> Snowmobile Trail Report โ€“ Ontonagon Area
I took a 50-mile loop today, riding Trail 137 out of Ontonagon to Rockland, Trail 13 from Rockland to Greenland, and Trail 12 back to Ontonagon. Despite the recent warm-up, I was pleasantly surprised by the overall good to excellent conditions.
Trail 13 was freshly groomed in some sections, making for a smooth and enjoyable ride. There were a few short areas with exposed ground and wet/slushy spots, but nothing major. Trail 12 from Greenland was the roughest section, mainly because a groomer hadnโ€™t been through in several days, so it was on the bumpier side. I also encountered a few short stretches of snirt, but again, nothing that significantly impacted the ride.
The good news is that a couple of inches of fresh snow are expected before the weekend, and colder temps are returning, which will help firm things up. Once groomers are back in full operation, conditions should improve even more.
Itโ€™s not quite as perfect as before the warm-up, which had some of the best riding Iโ€™ve seen in years, but we still have plenty of snow and great riding conditions in the western U.P. Donโ€™t let the recent warm stretch scare you offโ€”thereโ€™s still lots of fun to be had! #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos

SNOW FALL FRIDAY WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> TIMING POST! This is for Friday, February 28th into Saturday, March 1st.
Notice the heavy snow across the UP through almost the entire day. This is why some areas will go up to 11" or maybe even slightly more.
Winds will be HOWLING. Gusts over 50mph are likely. This can lead to blizzard conditions. I wouldn't be surprised to see some typical problem spots have road closures (M-28). #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey

WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> Winter ain't done with us just yet! A vigorous clipper system barrels through tomorrow bringing a nice swath of heavy snow to parts of the UP. The further south you go, the later in the day it'll be. Likely around the evening drive home a burst of snow moves through quickly coating the ground. This is along an arctic cold front that drops our temps for several days. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyWinter ain't done with us just yet!
