Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 02/02
Gogebic Range Trail Authority
GRTA Trail Condition: Good
Last Groomed: February 01st, 2017
Base: 12″
Past 24hr: 2″
Reported On: February 01st, 2017 @ 9:05am
Overall Conditions: Good to Very Good
We’ve seen about 2″ of new snow since Monday. Forecast shows decent snow this week so we expect conditions to gradually improve throughout the week, getting us set up nicely for the weekend. The trails overall are icy! We’re working with a 1-5″ base which means the corners will be swept & icy. Due to the rain a week ago a few water holes reared their ugly faces again. Please ride cautiously!

Lake Gogebic Area Groomers Report
Trail Condition: Good
Last Groomed: February 2, 2017
Base: 5″
Past 24hr: 2″
Reported On: February 2, 2017 @ 11:02pm
Trails are much improved with the return to colder temps and we’ve been receiving a few inches of new snow just about every day over the last week, with a call for additional snowfall over the weekend. For next week predictions are calling for a big storm to hit us on Tuesday! Yeah!!
Groomers are out on all trails with good reports of wet areas frozen back up with only a few minor spots to watch for. Please remember that trail 100 (at the south end of the lake) is closed until logging is finished in this area. Riding the roadways through this area is prohibited. Hopefully with the colder temps they’ll be able to get back in now and remove the logs that have been cut. We’ll keep you posted as soon as there are any changes.
