Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 01/18
The snow keeps coming and we have topped 100 inches to date. It is a little short from last years 113" but more is in the forecast through Wednesday, so we may do some catching up.
GOGEBIC RANGE TRAIL AUTHORITY are out grooming daily, reporting trails are in good to very good condition. The wet spots are frozen over. They are still logging on 11S and 160, so use caution and watch for logging trucks. Be aware there is a little icy area on the corners of Trail 2 between Ramsay and Wakefield.
Lake Gogebic Area groomers are grooming daily. With all the new snow they received, the trails are in good to very good condition. However, some corners are icy, so use caution.
Watersmeet Area groomers are also grooming daily. They are reporting the trails are in good to very good condition.
ABOUT THE ICE:
It’s time for our usual caution. There is no such thing as "safe ice" due to underwater currents. If you plan to go out, be sure you talk to locals where you intend to ride for more information about the ice depth and other factors…be aware you will be riding at your own risk.
Our 800# is down so when calling you will not get a recording. Hopefully it will be fixed soon!!! Check back for updates and check out our webcams around the area at westernup.info ….
