Ontonagon Area Trail Report – 03/02
ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 03/02 We had difficulties this evening and into the morning resulting in a partial grooming run. There are several hair pin corners of 13 that required significant dozing to get berms down. The operator was scheduled to refuel and return back, but issues arose canceling that. We apologize, it has been a long season! Download the Groomer Tracker app to see more! Image for Saturday 3/1/25 maintenance run along the Silver City lakeshore. Snow conditions vary greatly from very good to bare through this section. It’s very rideable. Slush/ice spots are also navigable. Temperatures at time of posting several degrees below zero just 7 miles inland. <> <> Visit North Country Snowmobile Club – UP Website >>>> <> Visit North Country Snowmobile Club – UP on Facebook >>>> <> SIDNAW AREA UPDATE via The Sidnaw Station >> Good Afternoon Everyone!

Major bust here in pine stump area. 3 inches of slush.

The snow, combined with quickly falling temperatures, could lead to icy roads developing this evening. Visibility will be reduced in snow and blowing snow.

Again, light airy snow but welcomed!! Anything we lost during the warmup we regained!! Tonight we sent 2 machines down 8w to Wakefield. One with a drag and one without. All snow bridges remained intact and 💯 groomable and rideable. We do this to get a consistent rotation of operators running again without trouble from swamp's opening up or whatever other hazards may have developed. This evening we should have a full crew ready to go and will get everything covered. That's all for now. Thank you Gogebic Area Grooming #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
