This heavy snowfall gives you, the rider, the very best conditions and trails. Our new website is www.explorewesternup.com We moved to a new location 405N Lake St. Ironwood, MI 49938.
Groomers are not grooming at this time. We need lower temps and some more snow. There is some open dirt on the trails in places and the trails are in poor condition.
Nothing much has changed since the last report, so I’m going to let it stay as is. Warmer than normal conditions for this time of year to continue for another week before they’re expected to drop back into the 30’s for highs. Grooming has been suspended; however our trails in the U.P. do remain open until the end of March. Trailering out to trails that head into the woods is recommended as you will find bare areas wherever trails cross roadways or in towns.
Well, it is that time of the year….the temps are on the rise. The snow has melted and the groomers stopped running March 8th. Without a good amount of new snow, this looks like we may be done. If conditions become favorable again, we can groom until the last day of March or even into April, weather and DNR permitting.
