Happy New Year!!! Looks like more of the same with temps in the teens and snow showers in the forecast for the next few days. We are getting some snow showers now and the cold will help firm up the wet spots….

The Gogebic Range Trail Authority reports: Trail 2, 8 and 160 have been groomed. Watch for icy spots and wet spots. Use caution on 160 there is a swamp which is not frozen so be careful….Trails 11s and 11n are not groomed we need more snow before groomers will go out to groom these trails. It is still early season riding we need more snow to get the trails in great shape. Be Patient!!!

The Lake Gogebic groomers are out and reporting all trails are rolled expect some wet spots and early riding conditions. More snow is needed to get the trails in great shape.

The Watersmeet groomers have not gone out yet they need more snow.

All areas need more snow….keep in mind groomers can be out day or night so watch out for them and please pull over or slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by.

Be safe!!!
