Ontonagon Area Trail Report – 02/02
ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins >> 02/02 It’s not about the miles, it’s about the smiles! 😊 Today was one for the books! I had the absolute pleasure of riding with my friend Art, a true legend on the trails. His motto is, “It’s not about the miles, it’s about the smiles,” and let me tell you—I smiled a LOT today. We hit the backcountry, carving through the wilderness, and it was all I could do to keep pace with this 73-year-old adventurer. His energy, skill, and pure love for the ride are nothing short of inspiring. Riding with Art is more than just a journey; it’s a reminder to soak in the moment, embrace the adventure, and appreciate the friendships that make life so much richer. Thanks for the ride, Art—I’ll be grinning for days! <> <> <> Visit North Country Snowmobile Club – UP Website >>>> <> Visit North Country Snowmobile Club – UP on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Ongoing snow this morning will taper off from west to east through the early afternoon.

The other pictures are from trail 3 heading east out of Watersmeet. Groomers reported very high traffic yesterday. Stay right and stay safe. Always be looking for oncoming traffic. The trails are not a one way system. Be safe out there and enjoy your time. We have seen a lot of large groups of 8-16 people in a group. #watersmeet #westernup #snowphotos #respectthetrailgroomers WATERSMEET - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via U.P. Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club >> Groomer update Friday 1/31/25 . The whole trail system was groomed last night. There are some very thin spots and the snow is getting tired. Grooming is not holding up very well. Hopefully we get the snow that is in the forecast. We will update as conditions change. #watersmeet #westernup WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Snow will spread across Upper Michigan late this afternoon and evening with occasional snow then continuing through tonight.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A much cloudier day over the UP compared to yesterday! Light snow showers have been observed today with only a half inch so far at the office here in Negaunee Township. Despite the light nature of the snow, it has been efficient at reducing visibility, with below 1 mile visibility being reported at some locations this morning, so take caution while traveling today! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Scattered lake effect snow showers will develop across western into north central Upper Michigan today.
