Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 01/08
Things are looking pretty bleak. Sunshine and temps in the 30’s until Saturday. Not good news for our trails. The Lake Gogebic groomers reports all trails are rolled. Groomers have not been out for the last few days we need more snow. Expect icy corners wet spots and bare spots. Remember it is early season riding conditions. You will find more snow in the wooded areas. More snow is needed to get the trails in great shape. 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. Please be careful on corners as you know several Michigan Trail signs have been discontinued. These signs are posted on our trail map. PLEASE BE SAFE!!!!
