We are grooming our whole system every day and the trails are very good.
Please ride on the RIGHT side of the trail and STOP at the stop signs!
Stay on the trail, if you don’t we could lose trail permissions on private property.
Groomers have the right of way on the trails, pull over and stop to let them safely pass!
We now have Groomer Tracker installed in our groomers.
We groom every day that the weather conditions and equipment allow. Unforeseen circumstances may prevent us from going out, like a major blizzard and being snowed in at our homes or equipment breakdowns. #westernup
I hit the trails yesterday, and I have to say—conditions are absolutely incredible! I took Trail 12 out of Ontonagon, connected to Trail 3 up to Twin Lakes, and returned via Trail 13 to 137. Every mile was spectacular—smooth as glass, with barely another rider in sight.
In the past week, we’ve received over two feet of fresh snow, and it’s shaping up to be some of the best riding conditions we’ve seen in years. If you’re looking for prime snowmobiling, now is the time to head up and experience it for yourself.
Don’t miss out—get up here and have the time of your life! #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos
