Lake Gogebic Area groomers are out double grooming daily after receiving about 10" of fresh snow. Groomers are reporting all trails are in very good condition,but again watch corners, they may be icy. Trail 1 closer to Presque Isle, snow is a bit thinner so expect good conditions in this area.

Watersmeet Area groomers are also grooming daily. They received 10" of new snow this past weekend and are reporting all trails are in good to very good condition. Again corneres are icy.

ABOUT THE ICE:
It’s time for our usual caution. There is no such thing as "safe ice" due to underwater currents. If you plan to go out, be sure you talk to locals where you intend to ride for more information about the ice depth and other factors…be aware you will be riding at your own risk.

Our 800# is down so when calling you will not get a recording. Hopefully it will be fixed soon!!! Check back for updates and check out our webcams around the area at westernup.info ….
