Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 02/01
Gogebic Range Trail Authority GRTA Trail Condition: Good Overall Conditions: Good to Very Good We’ve seen about 2″ of new snow since Monday. Forecast shows decent snow this week so we expect conditions to gradually improve throughout the week, getting us set up nicely for the weekend. The trails overall are icy! We’re working with a 1-5″ base which means the corners will be swept & icy. Due to the rain a week ago a few water holes reared their ugly faces again. Please ride cautiously! Trail 2 from Hurley to Ramsay Crossing: Overall rating: Very Good Groomed 1/30. Trail 2 from Ramsay Crossing to Wakefield: Overall rating: Marginal Groomed 1/31. Trail 2 from Wakefield to Marenisco: Overall Rating: Good to Excellent Groomed 2/1. Trail 8 from Bingo’s to Tula Crossing: Overall Rating: Good to Excellent Groomed 1/31. Lake Gogebic Area Groomers Report Trail Condition: Good Latest report from one of our drivers has trail 8 west and trail 1 south (all the way to the MI/WI border) in very good condition with wet areas under control! We’re looking at single digits to teens for lows all week – great news for the trail conditions. I’ll keep posting more as I get reports from our drivers and/or snowmobilers in the area. Carolyn at the Hoop As previously posted, please stay on the trails in Bergland. You are not allowed to ride the highway through town and may be ticketed. You can only access the gas station by following the trail through the park and crossing directly across from the gas station from Antonio’s Restaurant. If riding the roads through Merriweather (down to the Hoop ‘N Holler Tavern or to the lake) please remember to ride at the posted speed limit of 25 mph and stay to the side and as always be aware that this is a residential area and watch for traffic. U.P. Thunder Riders of Watersmeet Trail Report Trail Condition: Good Groomers are back on their daily grooming schedule Conditions are fair to good. There will be some icy corners, spots with rocks mixed in and few wet areas that are starting to freeze over. Please stay on marked trails. Riding on unmarked trails can result in the club losing easement for that trail and can possibly get yourself a ticket. <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>
