Watersmeet / Western U.P. Trail Report – 12/04
WATERSMEET / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via U.P. Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club – 12/04 Our groomers went out today in most directions to do some packing of the trails and clear more trees that came down during the winds. Trails are not ready for riding until we get more snow and when we do we will get back out and continue to do what we can to make them rideable. Remember wherever you may get out to ride it will be early season so watch out for hazards and remember to Ride Right. Thanks and think snow. <> <> Reports via: U.P.

Probably 2 of the better trail's considering they're running old road grade. The last to set is the wonderful 8w to Wakefield. Plans are to tackle that with 2 machines tomorrow. It's been snowing heavily this evening and temperatures remain perfect for setting trails to groom. We were actually able to get through a section of swamp tonight much earlier than previous years. Things are looking good for a great season! That's your Tuesday December 3rd 2024 update. Think snow ❄️❄️❄️ Thank you for all your work WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A Clipper bringing snowfall tonight is followed by lake effect snowfall over the northwest wind snow belts Wednesday.

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! #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos
