Snowfall to date: 40" with 23" on the ground…more in some places-less in others. Groomers are out doing their thing -be it panning, panking, rolling or grooming when and where possible.
GOGEBIC RANGE TRAIL AUTHORITY Trails 2&8 are being groomed – conditions are early season riding. Trail 2 from Ironwood to Marenisco is shaping up but it’s still early. Expect rocks and wet areas. Trail 11N is closed due to wet conditions, swamps are not frozen. Trail 160 remains closed as well as 11S – they will be groomed when the wet areas firm up-
GOGEBIC AREA GROOMERS Lake Gogebic groomers are out trying to get the trails in shape and to firm up…lots of wet areas- reporting early riding conditions-mostly poor but a little better on the northern trails.

U.P. THUNDER RIDERS OF WATERSMEET are going out— they received about 10" of snow so have enough to pan and roll the
trails.

Snow continues in the forecast! Check back for updates and check out our webcams around the area at westernup.info
