The Gogebic Range Trail Authority report the groomers are out. Trail 2, 8 and 160 are all groomed. Trail 11N is also groomed up to 519. Conditions are looking good. Expect some ice on corners and hills. All wet areas are now frozen. Trail 11S still has not been groomed. Please use caution corners are icy.

The Lake Gogebic groomers report: After a busy weekend groomers are out getting the trails back in shape. Trails on the south side of the lake, going to Presque Isle snow is a little bit thinner but rideable. PLEASE REMEMBER TO PULL OVER IF YOU SEE A GROOMER. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY…

The Watersmeet groomers finally went out. All trails are rolled and are in fair condition. Please use cautions corners are icy. Trail 3 south to Land O Lakes the snow is thin but rideable.

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!!!!
