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!

Groomed 1/30.

Trail 2 from Ramsay Crossing to Wakefield:

Lake Gogebic Area Groomers Report

Trail Condition: Good

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.

Latest report from one of our drivers has trail 8 west and trail 1 south (all the way to the MI/WI border) in very good condition with wet areas under control! We’re looking at single digits to teens for lows all week – great news for the trail conditions. I’ll keep posting more as I get reports from our drivers and/or snowmobilers in the area.

As previously posted, please stay on the trails in Bergland. You are not allowed to ride the highway through town and may be ticketed. You can only access the gas station by following the trail through the park and crossing directly across from the gas station from Antonio’s Restaurant. If riding the roads through Merriweather (down to the Hoop ‘N Holler Tavern or to the lake) please remember to ride at the posted speed limit of 25 mph and stay to the side and as always be aware that this is a residential area and watch for traffic.
