LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – 01/23
We have the privilege to get an opportunity to try out the all new redesigned trail 400 Pistenbully!  We got the blade that has wings that move and a narrower stance. We would also like to Thank Walker Equipment who made our Arrowhead Drag out of St. Germain Wisconsin for the transport of the groomer from the Dealship to our door step. For the people who have groomer tracker, don’t be alarmed that you see a trail on the tracker that hasn’t been groomed. It might have been done by the demo machine so it will not show up on the tracker. All our trails are being hit and groomed. Reports of fair to good conditions! We finally got some snow to cover up the thinner spots. Have fun and be safe!
LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – 01/22
Finally getting some snow! All trails are being hit! Here is a few pictures of the trails early this morning!
Also we were advised that Forest Service Road 400 just North of Bergland is going to be closed due to logging. This will not effect our trail system, but a lot of sleds like taking that road to find off trail riding. So avoid tickets and stay away from FS plowed roads for the loggers.

Lows below zero are expected for some across the north and in the single digits down to I80. Highs this weekend will only be in the single digits and teens for areas down to I80.

FROM Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> I need to post this image again because WOW. I can't recall the last time nearly all of the United States was forecast to be below average. Before anyone gets on the "SEE CLIMATE CHANGE IS FAKE" train... one of these below average maps DOES NOT negate the other 500 above average ones. Trends, folks. Trends. Nothing is a straight line. The warming temperature trend line is full of peaks and valleys with an overall increasing trend. 🙂 #miweather #keweenaw#westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea#petoskey#gaylord#cadillac#traversecityI need to post this image again because WOW.

After Thanksgiving, a large portion of the U.S. will likely see below normal temperatures into early December. And of course, there's southern Florida. 🌞

FROM Gogebic Area Grooming >> Just to confirm.. We do have enough interest in brushing the access trail this Saturday at 9am Eastern time meeting at the Groomer barn. It's not a long stretch but badly overgrown. Bring boot's as it's usually muddy. If enough people show up and this get's accomplished early our trail 1n to White Pine needs a bunch of signage. So plenty of work for the day. Then on to our next situation. A bridge on 13s or East side of lake Gogebic needs redecked. This trail will not be opened until this bridge is repaired. To say we need help is an understatement. Plans are for bridge repair asap. Repair needs completed before Deer season (Nov. 15th) Rain, snow or shine. It should only take a day but dependent on if we have helper's. The access trail, 1n signage and bridge repair are all accessible by vehicle. Again questions contact Greg @ 309-208-8624 #lakegogebic#westernup... See MoreSee Less
