Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 12/02
Our snowmobile season has officially opened, but we need Old Man Winter to co-operate more. The weather over the weekend was in the 30’s and without new snow groomers couldn’t get out and do their thing. It is early season riding expect a lot of mud and wet spot. Our swamps need some cold weather to freeze up. The Gogebic Range Trail Authority went out this weekend and rolled trails 2 and 8 as much as they could. Trail 2 from Wakefield to Marenisco has a lot of mud and water. The swamps are still open. Trail 8 is early season riding and trail 160 is open but is again early season riding. Mud and water…. The Lake Gogebic groomer’s report: Waiting for colder weather and more snow so they can get out and groom. The Watersmeet groomer’s report: No official report from Watersmeet but again it is still too early to get out and groom. We need more snow and colder weather. Come Explore the Western U.P.
