Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 02/01
Had some weekend snow… it was pretty fluffy so guessing the Season Snowfall to date is about 130" but will give official tomorrow. Cold temps have been good for firming things back up and it looks like this week will offer up some great riding. SIGN VANDALISM RESULTING IN SERIOUS SITUATION
Gogebic Range Trail Authority: After some mechanical problems, groomers are out both day and night getting the trails back into shape. All are being groomed including 2-8-160-11N and 11S. Overall conditions Good-some very good, some fair.
From the Lake Gogebic Area-Groomers are all out double grooming all trails.. trails good to very good.
Watersmeet groomers are out and reporting trails are solid and conditions are fair to good.
And here’s some good news for our Trail 2 East riders-the Marenisco Mini Mart is open and gas is again available there.
IN ALL AREAS:
Keep in mind the groomers are out both day and night, so watch for them, and PLEASE pull over or at least slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by whenever you see them.
The time you spend riding in Big Snow Country is all about lots of fun and a great time…therefore, your safety is our #1 priority.
Expect to see more patrols on the trails due to a recent rash of sign vandalism incidents…we’re hearing cameras also may be enlisted in order to apprehend those responsible. If you see any suspicious activity, please call the DNR at 800-292-7800.
