After several single digit days, looks like a great upcoming weekend-20 will feel like a heat wave. It’s still early season riding, but better than usual early season. Groomers from the Gogebic Range Trail Authority, Gogebic Area Grooming, Watersmeet, and North Country Snowmobile Club in Ontonagon are all out on the trails. A ‘heads up’ from the GRTA-trail 11S is closed for about a week due to logging, but the good news on this trail is they are working on a permanent re-route around that wet hole that causes so much trouble. Again the closure shouldn’t last too long and we’ll keep you informed. Also,in Ontonagon, watch for ice East on Trail 12, Norwich Rd. and LP Walsh.
Remember,the groomers are out A LOT right now, so PLEASE pull over when you see them.
Keep in mind, although MI trails opened December 1st, they may or may not be groomed. WI Trails are now officially open.

We’ve had a little more fresh snow in the past 24..No real change in conditions, however they are improving. Single digit overnight lows are helping freeze up some those pesky wet areas. It’s still early season riding, but better than usual early season. Groomers from the Gogebic Range Trail Authority, Gogebic Area Grooming and Watersmeet are all on their regular schedules, working on the trails. Unless there’s some big change, I’ll skip tomorrow’s report and try to get info on specific trails for you on Thursday. Forecast for the weekend is looking outstanding…(that’s just a little "heads up" for you in case you want to give yourself and early Christmas present on un-crowded trails.)
