Ontonagon Area Trail Report – 12/03
ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP – 12/03 Welcome to the 2025 snowmobile season! It’s going to be a great one! Groomer Mikey took Chad, Hollywood, and TC Troll Joe out for a nice 10 hour training/brushing session Sunday! Here’s the team’s notes! Thank you to our volunteers and Mike O. for sharing his depth of knowledge and expertise around our club. ❄Need More snow, but an EXCELLENT BASE is shaping up! Light freezing rain bouts swung through bringing much needed moisture to the dry lake effect snow, creating the excellent base ❄Snow settled Monday and Tuesday as temps warmed into the low 20’s as the freezing rain swung thru ❄Trails 13, 137, and portions of trail 12 were brushed open, track packed, and rolled ❄Wet areas are VERY WET ❄If you want to ride, come ride! You will see dynamic trail conditions from good to mud. We are not grooming at this time, but sleds sure help hammer the frost in! Trails are full of hazards from early season conditions (Rocks, mud, flowing water, slush pools, low or no snow) A nice clipper system is swinging through this week and Michigan does seem to be Michigan-ing again, which is pretty neat. Lots of snow forecast this month!! BE ready!
